Hmmm well it's still looking a bit nasty out there. I don't trust my 9m to stay in one piece in this stuff. If it drops a little to say 30 I'll take the 12.

Mate you must have gone HYPERSONIC!!! cause you were nowhere to be seen when we got to KFC this arvo......

Just got back from an unbelievable session with the die hard crew from KFC, we had the whole place to ourselves apart from a couple of poley's.

Hope you got amongst it Kurtis, it was a good opportunity to hone ones skills in some extreme conditions.

Kate, your a bloody legend

Kate here. You boys all have some serious balls!! Not sure what I have, but if I had balls I would be bragging! It was wild out there but what a rush! Mad keen is what we are. Loved watching you boys get huge air, when I could see you through the torrential rain that is. What a memorable ride. Always feel safe amongst you blokes. Craig, you are insane.....28+ knots, stinging rain and you are still pulling off backroll kiteloop transitions in 20cm of water!!

Rory here,,, another incredible kite session at kfc, today was one of the most amazing impressive sessions ever. It was like kiting at night with no sun and insane wind. The water was super smooth everywhere from the grand to southport pool.
Paul,ron,Craig,andre,kate,and dean you guys were awesome to kite with as you look after each other in these extreme conditions....what fantastic end to a australia day long weekend.
Rail, hail, flood or storms kite till your arms fall off.

Had a great session when it passed through Hervey Bay, but kiter's here don't seem to have the gonads for it, was the only one out. Not the same with nobody to share it with, was a bit mental.
