This is an online blog journal of all my kitesurfing activities. I blog and log every kitesurfing session and provide information on skills progression, gear, weather and locations. I am based in Melbourne, Australia where we are blessed with good winds and some wonderful kitesurfing. I also take kitecam photos and video. I also record many sessions with a GPS.
Session 518. Nice session in the surf at Waratah Bay with three windsurfers. The easterly was a bit gusty on the beach but nice and consistent on the water. There were some good waves to surf.
A downwinder to Walkerville North would have been on but a car shuffle would be needed.
The waves at the beach close to Waratah Bay township are more regular and predictable than those at Sandy Point.
Very happy to get this session in before thunderstorms and 100mm of rain arrived over the following 2 days.
Session 513. A strong easterly was blowing so we headed to the section of beach at Waratah Bay that I scope out yesterday - there was plenty of wind and it was cross shore. We left some cars at Waratah Bay then drove back to the start. I was on the water quickly and enjoying some great waves.
The surf was nice - easy to get out with occasional bigger wave to ride back in. The water was lovely green colour and very clean. It took a while for everyone to get on the water then I headed down going out and catching waves back in. I scored three great waves, with the North Cross board turning on them fast and smooth.
It would have been possible to kite all the way to Walkerville with that wind direction, but I was tired and a bit sore by the time we got to Waratah Bay and the wind picked up to 30 knots.
We headed to Inverloch for lunch then the gang had a good session in Andersen Inlet with about 20 knots of wind. I took some photos from the beach, resting my hip.
