Revised forecast for Sunday is looking pretty bad, 6pm low tide and somewhere between 3pm and 6pm the perfect window to get on the beach it's shifting to SE.

Wind forecast for Sunday so far is looking like the pick of the days. @nigel @bakersdozen are you two making an appearance?

Extreme Kites Labour Day Explorers' Weekend Friday March 8th - Monday March 11th Land kiters for two decades have been kiting Waratah Bay, kicking off from the Sandy Point foreshore. This time we're looking at exploring the East side of Shallow Inlet, launching from the Boat Ramp and traversing the east side in to Wilsons Promontory. Having never done this before, anyone joining us is advised to be equipped for all terrain with either Big Foots or MidiXL's. Alternatively having a ski-rope in case you need to pull through some soft patches if on Barrows or Midis may also be a workable option. Route Planned Tides Late afternoon/evening tides, with daylight savings still running we'll be able to kite well in to the evening. Accommodation Options Shallow Inlet Campground - $20/night (Unpowered Sites) Shallow Inlet Caravan Park - $40-$126/night (Unpowered Sites, Powered Sites and Cabins) Wilsons Prom Holiday Park - $65-$315/night (Unpowered Sites, Powered Sites and Cabins) Sandy Point Caravan Park - $55 - $65/night (Unpowered Sites, Powered Sites)

Still have it There's a few people dropping their buggies for puff-karts (Blokarts), put a wanted post up in the buy & sell, there's a lot of people subscribed to new notifications that may popup with one.

Kitebuggy flying under a Moustache!

Dates look good 👍

Whoah, just a few there

I'm keeping an eye on the weather for Saturday or Sunday 👍

Nice! Hope it's insured, once @bakersdozen sees it I wouldn't leave it laying around

We're booked in, 21st-28th. Need a name for this one, thinking it should be called 'shoulda boughta buggy' for all the new puff-karters. Apparently even @The Duke is now riding between safety rails.... I wonder if they put pool noodles over those things too... 😂

@Martin Faber makes them. I have one for my GT and personally I don't like it as I find it too short when going up steep sand dunes. Seeing as we're all doodling.... I use this now.... 1. Two loops on the end, larks head around my footpegs. 2. Handle (just a piece of garden hose) closest to them I use when I'm walking beside the buggy, 75cm is approximate I can't remember what I extended it to so it avoided catching the headstem from behind. 3. I like a really long tow rope, it means when I'm pulling it pulls the buggy over the sand, especially uphills or soft sand instead of pulling the front wheel off the ground and having all the weight on my arms. So I'll walk about 4M in front of my buggy. 4. I use the two knots at the top of the tow rope when I'm walking behind my buggy on a downward slope, and control it like a chariot. The chariot racing can be quite entertaining if you stand on the back axle on the downhill slopes. @nigel cruises half of Sandy Point like this. @techno decided to abandon ship jumping off the axle at speed and his buggy hit a tree trunk.... Walk behind it instead?

The way that folded out from the back of the car was just brilliant! Here I am buying new rear light clusters for the buggy rack so I don't get a fine when driving with it on and you just pull this thing out of your boot and kick it Looks like you had some decent wind too, great video.
