.Joel Posted November 24, 2017 Report Posted November 24, 2017 I've listed the Weekend & Christmas Break tides for Summer 2017/18 at Waratah Bay that are ideal for land kiting. Ideal for either day trips or over-nighters. The break over Christmas looks absolutely amazing this year, the best days in Jan for those not heading over to Kingston 2018 look awesome too with some of the best weekends rounding off the end of Summer during February.

Mez Posted December 2, 2017 Report Posted December 2, 2017 I'm hanging out for a sail.....and if I was to hazard a guess, the hubby @igeighty is itching to fly his new REV's (Thanks @KaoS, he loves them!) If the weather is good, how about a day trip on Saturday 9th - @Bill however about a birthday fly? Quote

nigel Posted December 28, 2017 Report Posted December 28, 2017 Saturday 30th looks OK. Tide at 3:30pm, and a forecast of Westerlies turning South Westerly during the middle of the day. A possible chance of rain, but not much at all. Who's interested?? Mez 1 Quote

Yeh Baby!!!! You should be able to crack 80km/h just waddling down wind Where's that @Chook with his calculator? $10 down that you break your PB today https://www.extremekites.com.au/records/buggy/speed/ Mez 1 Quote
Kathleen Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 It's ok @.Joel - not going to happen he left the 6m Phantom 1 at home or maybe the Phantom 2 is a faster kite? Guess we find out later in the day. Quote
nigel Posted December 30, 2017 Report Posted December 30, 2017 A good day!!! A great day? No. Keep your $10 @.Joel An awesome flat beach with no weed, cross on shore at 30+ knots, gusting to to ??? Fast down and slow back. Just over 100km for the day, and a top speed of 84.7kph. The GT just ate the gusts, and the 6m Phantom mkII needed more wind!!! Yes, I have no idea what the top end is with this kite!! I was running with the trim strap all the way out (full power) the whole day, and using the bar stopper half way in!! Need a faster kite, might have to drag out the mkI Phantom. Or steal @.Joel's R1's Quote
nigel Posted January 6, 2018 Report Posted January 6, 2018 Possible run at Sandy this weekend?? Forecast looks ok for Saturday, late tide at 3:29pm. Quote
nigel Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 Saturday still looking alright, any takers?? @DrWind, @bakersdozen, @igeighty, @.Joel, @Clive, @OBEwan, @rednblackmatuka, @Bill Or am I going to be Nigel no mates?? Grants 1 Quote
Bill Posted January 9, 2018 Report Posted January 9, 2018 Thanks Nigel but I'll be in Kingston Mez 1 Quote
igeighty Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 Sorry buddy, Kingston also this Friday. Hope you have a good run Quote
bakersdozen Posted January 10, 2018 Report Posted January 10, 2018 @nigelI'm working on it. Let you know next few days mate! I'm itching Mez 1 Quote
bakersdozen Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 Direction looks to be a bit all over the shop on Saturday. And then blowing a gale later. Sunday looks promising, however later low tide. Quote
nigel Posted January 11, 2018 Report Posted January 11, 2018 After a message from @DrWind Venus Bay might be the better option for the Westerlies that are forecast. And we want wind, so what if it gets stronger. Quote
DrWind Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 It's not the wind I'm concerned about on Saturday, more the rain forecast which is pretty heavy to say the least (up to 15mm). Me thinks Sunday might be a better option. Quote
bakersdozen Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Yes I agree, have been looking at that this arvo. Sunday suits me for Sandy or Venus Bay. Would be a later start though due to tide times. @nigel what say ye? Quote
nigel Posted January 12, 2018 Report Posted January 12, 2018 Saturday's forecast has a bucket load of rain, so I think it wise to leave it for a Sunday run. With the wind more from the South, Sandy Point looks a pearler. Will confirm with all tomorrow, after the 5pm update from the BOM. bakersdozen 1 Quote
nigel Posted January 13, 2018 Report Posted January 13, 2018 Myself, @DrWind, and @bakersdozen are headed to Sandy Point tomorrow. Lighter winds but perfect on shore winds. Any one else???? Quote
