Would love to come up for the moose meet but i always forget about it till its to late. Any its a very time of year for me entered a few mountain bike races and my parents will be over from the UK in Nov so need some money for that, but will get up there one year hopefully.

Its also gone NE in brightn and hopefully will build this arvo and might hit the beach about 3:00pm. Low tide is about 5:00pm hopefully see the crew down there. Nate and I hit Rawhiti domain yesterday in the southerly and Mbnmac also popped along as he saw the kites also had some of the local kids flying a 3m Rebble in low winds and they loved it. so afternoon all round, not the best spot for flying as there is a some rough pockets and then smooth air in a short distance but was good the get out there.

Ill prob end up texting you later anyway. But if its looking decent flick me a text. Im keen to get out again.

right i've got to get up unfairly early and take the cat to the vet in town. just noticed the wind should be easterly and and theres a morning low tide, so the ideas to head down to the surfclub after the vets and get my first kitefix of the sesson. i plan to have a hungover, so yours that won't be a good enough reasson for you to not get out and join me.

Ah dear... Unfortunately I am working early morning tomorrow and sunday.. and i also am working the evening both days, not to mention finishing a polytech project in whatever other time i have those days for hand in on monday.

Don't get your hopes to high caleb, the weather forecats is for it to turn southerly, though if its any good i'll hit the beach. Nate and i had a good mid week run on tues we went up to the waimak and back for the first time this season. Looks like Zenon will be all work and no play this weekend bummer!!

right then, change of plan then, bit far for me to go on a maybe, so me and the cat will go mountainboard rapaki track instead before it gets too washed out.

have fun with the books joe

Good call Belac i'm sat at home with a coffee looking out the window and there is not a breath of wind at the mo, was kinda hoping the wind would pick up but doesn't look like it will today. Will have to do all those odd jobs around the place then like hedge trimming and washing the car and mountain bike.

Argh i am jealous of your mountain riding adventures... is it flame or amelda joing you on your crusade.. flame seems more the type...

nope, not a breth of wind up the mountain either, all cloudy and middle earthy.

emelda chose to stay in the car and sing to the confused mountain bikers as they went by.

joe, you gotta come try that track!! deffinetly a breakless possability, altho building up courage with PSI i think. i only did the top km or so as it flatens out after a while, but the top is awesome. could be one for an after worker some time this week?

Yay summer! ill be back after my last exam on november 5th.. should have a bit of time riding before my job kicks in over christmas, so hope to see everyone out and riding!

Well those guys that couldn't make it down to the beach today!!! It was my first epic sess of the season here in chch with Easternly of 12-15knots if was almost 50/50 along the beach and the beach was really wide and not that many dog walkers due to the wind. I almost had the beach to myself as well with only Matt on a landboard and another buggier Graham. The highlight of was at the end with some kitesurfer in the water running in the shallow soup and an empty beach in ran just at the waters edge under the kite surfers kites doing about 60kmph duckin in and out of the water as the waves came in and out awesome fun. It was a great wind today and was a little suprised that there weren't more guys out there not even any Blokarts, and here's to many more for this summer.

I had a shit night last night, so was too tired to get out of bed
might pop down tomorrow after golf

I Will hiting the beach about 3:00pm with low at 4:30ish there's a great easternly today about 15 knots the clouds are scudding accross the sky.

Im totally gutted i missed todays session... My only plan for today was to go riding... water land whatever... i just wanted to go kite and i got a phone call which woke me up calling me in to work.. frick on a stick... anyway... tomorrow is another day but tomorrow is also meant to rain... heres hoping that doesnt happen and i can go ride!!!

Right guys its 8:30 in the morn and the wind is NE hitting 15 knots i am about to have a quick brekkie and hit the beach got a new gps so might have put in some speed runs nowthat the wind is up. Hope to see some more guys down there.

Sadly I didn't get up in time ths morning to get to the beach. But I'll try and get out this evening after dinner before dusk. Low tide is around 9 so here's hoping for a bit.of wind and beach

right then, TOMORROW afternoon, low tide is about 3ish, morning southerly will be turning noreast. this is it! (no not a shitty documentry about the fiddler micheal jackson) caleb's first good sesh of the summer. would be good to see a few others down there, if only so someone can show me how to strop my handels together so i can ride with this harness.

I'll probably be down there after golf, I'll make sure to bring the camera.

Nate should be able to show you the best way to strop handles (although you'll want to make it shorter than he has his for guerilla arms)

right. well i'll be the one being draged along the beach like a rag doll behind the 10 year old blade cos i've totally not flown a kite in a year.

i heard joe prefers hard work to kiting now so don't imagine we'll see him . but it would be good to see those sissys mason and will out getting inventive. and anybody else for that matter. theres allways a good pub across the road for afters.
