Wind picked up again, twin tip out and the Stanley lagoon is totally full - game the hell on.  Such an amazing spot.

2017 11 25 - Stanley with a big kite and a big board

Image
Just shy of 15 knots so I grabbed Pete's flite (fantastic kite at 14.5m) and Pete and James Nuggets and hit some surfboard action.  Wind picked up so I got to grab my kite, and keep going with the nugget.  yeah ! Mike tearing it up in the background

2017 11 25 - Long drive to Stanley, but all good

Image
No wind in the southeast, so we bit the bullet and drove 4 hours across Tassie to Stanley.  No wind on the way there, but as soon as we approached Stanley it started coming in beautifully.  That, coupled with the tide coming in, made for a flatwater paradise.

2017 11 24 - wassup Tassie

Tassie trip - game on.  No real wind forecast, so we headed down to Coles Bay opposite Freycinet, hired 3 sups and a kayak and headed across to Freycinet.  Pretty tricky on the inflatable sup, but great to be on the water, and the water was magic.  Amazing swimming, beautiful clear water and sea growth.  Great workout too.

2017 11 07 - Hampton build

Built up to great wind, did a few rotations, stuffed up several raleys and got crunched doing a dark slide.  With Tarren and Pete. Winner
