Hey dude,

I head to Woodman point after work sometimes. Happy to help out giving you a launch and land, sounds like we're at similar stages. Only available after 5 ish though as I've got to get down there after work. Trying to find someone to hit up Leighton with too.....

Drop me a PM some time....

Hi mate
I appear to be just up the road from you!
I am also a newbie and looking for someone to get out through the day with.
Let me know if you are still looking!

Cheers

Hey lads,

I'm keen to catch up and kite as well, been learning for about 8 weeks or so now. Usually self launch/land and kite on my own at Leightons, Scarbs or Woodies. Can get up and go both ways, still need some work before going upwind though I think.

Basically available to kite anytime during daylight hours

PM me if interested.


Cheers,

Jesse

Hey everyone... my name is Louisa, I just counted 22 days of me kiting in 3 seasons (spend a week on a trainer kite, got proper 9 hour IKO lessons and some more practice in in the first season, second season only done a refresher course over 4 days here in the river). I am just back from 2 weeks (7 days of kiting) over Christmas and I can finally go upwind (hooray!), but not turn yet unless I put my bum in the water, so eventually i'll still end up somewhere downwind :-)

So I live and work in Northbridge, I am out at 4.30 (can get the car from my housemate at times) And i am ok to go in the weekends as well when i ll prob train it.


I am looking for someone to get to know kite locations in leighton / safety / woodman outside the crowd and to keep and eye on eachother's wellbeing, stance, landing and launching. I am a master in body dragging lol. I am happy to help out and make video's. Drop me a line and let's meet up!


happy kiting,

Louisa

Hi there, I'm very new to kiting (been out 4 times). Mastered the up/downwind body drag and am now trying to master the board. I'm not confindent enough yet to go kiting by myself, so I thought meeting up with others would be prefect.
I'm available after 3:30pm weekdays and all weekend.

I'm happy to travel, but keen to stay away from over populated places until I have a bit more control.

Cheers,

Cat
