  1. See you have these on your site now Jason, any in stock? Had a look at them first hand?
  2. Polarised for those on land, non-polarised for on the water. I find it hard to judge the water surface with polarised glasses due to the lack of reflections. Personal preference.
  3. Just got back from a weeks worth of kitesurfing at Paje Beach in Zanzibar, finally decided to get my arse out on the water and loved it. Fantastic location, two lagoons with a reef about 1.5km from shore keeping the chop out, beyond that there are some nice waves for the guys that are into that. Huge intertidal zone with nice shallow flat water at low tide, perfect for me getting used to the board, and quite deep and a little choppy at high tide. Conditions were perfect as the tide came in and went out. Good wind all week ~20 knots, really nice place. We spent most of our time at the Zanzibar Kite Center. If you are ever over that way i highly recommend stopping in there. Great people, great setup, great food....everything was great. If you are ever looking at heading over to africa for a kite you should put this location on your list. Fortunatly i couldn't take photos of myself....because they would be pretty boring. So here is one of a friend instead.
  4. You should take it for a trip upto the grampians. Fyans, Lonsdale and Bellfield were all amazing when i left in January, i imagine they would still be great. Really nice lakes for having a yak. I had my yak set up for fishing, some great trout in bellfield.
  5. Hope you don't mind me messing with your pictures, but this one just screamed at me to be a silhouette.
  6. I would just be doing a trip to the coast, 13th or Port Fairy. Victorian inland wind is balls, i reckon its worth the effort to go to the coast.
  7. I don't think a kite would last long in TZ, probably get mugged for it setting up on the beach. They have amazing beaches here but no kiting that i have seen. However i have only spent a couple of days on the coast and haven't even got to Zanzibar yet. Apparently Zanzibar is pretty good for kiting, good winds from about June.
  8. Can't make it this year, spewing...was awesome fun last year. Working in Tanzania these days so unfortunately its not an option.
  9. His other post has 0426841809 in it.
  10. I was super close to heading down there, or port fairy, this arvo. Just wanted 5 or so more knots to justify the long drive.
  11. They sell those retarded things at my local sportspower. I'm always amazed to see that a few have sold in-between my visits.
  12. Im going to have to get into this when i'm living in Canadia.
  13. Great pics and vids guys, looks like an awesome time was had by all. Its giving me the bug.....gotta get out there.
  14. Oh dear god i see vanilla slices!!! No I'm really sad i couldn't get there
  15. Awesome stuff, congratulations to you both!
  16. Oh man this looks great, but i think i might be stuck on call for that weekend, time to start trying to weasel my way out of it. Very keen.
  17. Im not saying that mac doesn't have the same. I'm saying that both systems have vulnerabilities and its generally third party applications that do a better job at patching up the holes than either microsoft or apple do.
  18. This thread is....ridiculous. I don't think i have ever come across someone with such a blind hatred for apple. As for your analogy that apple users are pretentious arseholes.....well....... From what i can gather, after siphoning through the massive amounts of crap you have posted, you are popping a boner because the iphone has become so successful that hackers are targeting their products more now. Well duh, who would have thought that would happen. As for the OS having security holes, again...duh. Do you run a firewall on your PC like 95% of computer users? Im tipping you do, then again going by the awesome tech knowledge you have displayed here you may not. However most smart people use them because they know that windows is full of bugs and microsoft doesn't update its software regularly enough to keep it secure. PC users are lucky to have so many 3rd party firewall/virus solutions at their disposal.
  19. on call at work. booooo.
  20. Its good stuff. As someone who works in a mine i can say this sort of thing is always in the back of your mind, good that it turned out well for them. Also good that most of the mines in Australia have backup escape routes in case this sort of thing happens. Our mine has a backup ladderway from the surface to -1400m, nice to know its there.
  21. Hmmm. I'm seeing Powderfinger in Bendigo on the Friday night. It would be an epic weekend of driving but i might be able to make it if the weather is looking special, see how we go.
  22. Good work guys, i'm constantly impressed by the effort you put into this site, its much appreciated.
  23. Stealth++ in the black, looks cool. Be interesting to see one in action.
