i don't want to sound like the robot on hitchikers guide but it's dark outside and once again the wind is blowing at night.


We could probably find some canals with enough light, to go windsurfing ...at night, in a canal, on the Gold Coast. Any takers? I'll bet you an arm and a leg you (it) could tear it (you) up. Any bites? What size fins? I'm just baiting you.



"BULLSHARK !!!" .......no, it's true...

We have a couple of Energex kiters with some serious floodlights and 2 x 6kva gennys. There were a few of us who were going to do it on 'kite island' one night.

We are keen!!!!

Hey Vando,

That was actually me posting earlier as Brett. I was sitting on his computer but I clicked log-out and put my username in but obviously it stayed as Brett... strange, because after I realised this I tried logging out a few times and it confirms that I've logged out, but still remains logged in on the top bar as Brett... oh well.

Do you REALLY use smaller sails than 5.5m. 1982 wave NR's don't really count as sails... :-/

Been +25 knots the last few days in Sydney, has any of that made it up to the Coast or vegas??

hahah haircut! Congrats mate! LOL! I'm certain I haven't put on weight!!! Riding all on 9m Liquid Force were also Hayden (13), JP (15), and Rhys (17) and myself. (18 *cough* 20). Added a few 'winter' and t kiting for 9 months Kg, but not THAT much! hahaha =P

Just mazing amount of depower on these kites! Obviously seeing you were on a 9m Cab, and I also on 9m Liquid Force Session.

haha damn good fun isn't it!? haha

You will want to convert soon! Yes it does work your muscles different to windsurfing hey!

Weeelll..... I am yet to decide on the prize...

See it depends on what size, model, brand, and type of kite you buy

If you have bought a kite, I am sure we aaaallll would have heard about your good news and seen a photograph!
