Goshen, the owner of Kitepower who's one of the best kitelandboarders in Aussie and I, went out for a session last week, and this was the result.

Unfortunatly all we've been getting is Northerly winds lately so its at Eastern beach again. There's a few bloopers at the end.

Cheers.
Ye get gets scary some times especialy when you're boosting thinking that you'll go only 3m up, then a gust comes along and gives you another 2 or 3m, but you learn to re direct the kite and and you eventualy glide back down safely.
There's a tree in the video at 57 seconds that Im trying to jump over safely, if you can call 6-7m safely.
At the moment I'm going up as high as the tree, but I need another 2m to go higher than its branches. I'll get the footage on here soon to show the the hight I'm talking about.

You're mad but I want to see the footage anyway :o but if you break something, I wasn't encouraging you

Looks like a fun day and the perfect location. Nice video with my morning coffee.

Big Prop's for Kitepower Aus. as a tourist ! Those folks teated me extremely well. I needed to use their gear as much as take a lesson. For the price of one lesson I got taken out 1 and 1/2 days . Given some basic guidance and then left to use the gear !

Great treatment and I have the shirt to prove it!

What is the story on the rocks at the one end?

Hey Bladerunner if you get back down under let me know, I'll do the guided tour of our kiting spots with you.

Now the story with Those stupid rocks at the end of the park were put there by our local council so the birds in the area called the Plover bird, which nests on the ground, can nest there without being disturbed by people.

And guess where the birds still nest, yep in the middle of the park, and the stupid part about it is that if people go near where the birds are nesting I let them know to keep away, and scare any dogs that get to close. But near the rocks I can't go near for obvious reasons and people and their dogs just walk through the nests.
So yes they ruined great spot for no reason other than to waste money..:puzzled:

Looks like a fun spot with a few obstacles to keep you on your toes. Really enjoyed that thanks!!! Those rock looke mighty sketchy though lol

:ticking: Plovers ! :ticking:

2 IQ above Council!

Great spot - just got to get them to cut down some of those scragly trees in the middle of the grass.
