Hey guys, just transferred for work from Geraldton to Australind, just wondering if there are any local kiting crew on here i can get in contact with to tag along on your next session.
Iv been kiting for 6 years and living in gero there wernt many days in summer/winter i wasnt out. keen to keep the kiting going down here. cheers
Speak to the Pin Puller on Seabreeze here. He's a champ of a bloke. Love a good kite and a beer!
Hi Arloj. There are a small group of kiters in the Australind area of mixed abilities that usually congregate to the RHS of the boat ramp next to the BP station in the middle of the Estuary, just look for the kites. Friendly crew. You will usually find someone about if there is wind. A couple of the guys are at Exmouth at the moment. After Gero I hope you have bought a big kite.
Hi Arloj. Welcome to Australind ! I've been here since 2013 and i've been to the patch beside the BP garage. I'm a noob (can get on the board but can't edge properly yet) and so i usually go down to the Canals near Pelican Point. There's a bit of a beach there which makes it easier for launching your kite etc. There's usually people knocking about when its windy. I usually get chatting to a few people aswell.
A more experienced kiter will be able to give you the low down regarding wind conditions. I find the wind to be quite gusty there and this makes it difficult for me to kite. That could be down to my inexperience though, so take that with a grain of salt.
(BTW: I'm thinking of heading up to Geraldton for 2 or 3 days last weekend in October. Can you recommend anywhere suitable to go for a beginner ? Or hotels close by ?)
Cheers,
John.
Arlog hit me up the weekend... It looks awsome I'm giving a lesson on Sunday but the winds looking good both days. Saturday arvo for some big kiteloop mayhem... There's a progression white board going up down there this summer with a penalty of a carton for not trying what you said you would each seshhhhhion :-) hopfully it's a progressive year for all. I own a motor repair shop in town so can look after ure car while down south

Progression whiteboard with carton penalties. What a bloody great idea.
Agreed. We have a facebook kite group in Perth and I think I might need to pinch your idea Dan.
Hope the trip back from Exmouth was uneventful.
Stayed in dongora had a few beers with Cauncy at south beach while the kids reaquainted themselves with cold ocean water. Missus is driving now before I take over on the freeway 
Hey guys I'm new to the scene too!
Keep me in the loop of any events.
Cool spot. Cooler people. Cheers guys!
Keep me in the loop too, I work down in Australind Monday to Friday, how long for I don't know.
I've spotted a few guys down there few times but never taken my gear down with me but I will be doing so starting next week,
Cheers
