Kiteventure

Great session from Port Melbourne, toured up to Elwood and back.  Very consistent wind, then some flat water/wave action at Port Melb whilst waiting for Tina and the boys.  Perfect day.

Big day out at St Kilda with Thomas. Heart in mouth stuff watching Thomas starting out, but I got a few good runs in.  Nice to be out without time limits.

Very nice session after work with James.  Stuffed up 3 darkslides in a row before pulling one off.  Landed double backwards followed by double forwards, tried riding blind with the inevitable crash but I'm getting closer.  Was damn nice to have some wind where you could actually do a decent jump, woohoo. Left my bar at St Kilda beach - absolutely spewing.  I've tried everywhere, including St kilda police  The zu  Kite republic  Gokite  Melbourne kite boarding Shq  West beach pavilion

Went down to St Kilda real late - about 8pm by the time I got there.  There was just enough wind, around 16 knots so I headed far out and was very quickly the only one left on the water.  I ran the gauntlet between the yachts to get into the kiddy pool, then mucked around in the waves.  I saw something amongst the waves at around 9pm that caused me to head back in - probably a penguin but who knows.  Great to have another session under the stars.

Just enough to struggle to stay on a line at  Hampton. 

James, Peter, Eric, Stu and I went to Hampton after a big front had pushed some nasty wind through - by the time we got there it had calmed somewhat to around 20 knots.  Still some big holes in the wind - particularly out near the rock groyne.  Great to be on the water and nice and warm - but not the time to be trying new tricks as the wind was all over the place.  Some real big rollers coming through too. Got my gps back so must get back onto my around the bay efforts !

Fantastic evening session from 8 till 9 at Hampton with Peter. Worked on rotations, some good, some not so good. Water was balmy.

I'd spent the last week teaching Thomas how to kite so I was hanging out for a session down at Inverloch. big 5 hour session - 3 hours of which were marginal, the last 2 hours from 8pm to 10pm were fantastic.  Just enough wind to keep a line and do a nice transition, but in beautiful water under the stars in Inverloch gave it a special something.  Pretty unforgettable scenery.
