G'day Cauncy,

yeah that was us.

That day at Dongra I watched the anomometer hovering around 39 knots with gusts at the sailing club around the corner of 46 knots according to a windsurfer I spoke too. No wonder my poor old Rhino 9m was sh!tting itself! Amazing but next day at Gerro, 25 to 30 knots on a 12m felt so easy compared to Dongra that day!!

Baptisim of Fire for us country bumkin's!

Red arrows are a plenty for us so alot of us took charge of the situation and got race boards with 16, 17 or 18m kites to make it bareable or else we would get nothing!

Anyway, hopefully this little fan building up does it for us!

cheers,

Robbie

... Maddog is like the old legend who hardly kite during the year, can't be bothered with the small stuff, but when the big one comes, he goes out to strut his stuff!

But when a really big one comes, he jumps in his car and heads south 'cause his house is right on the beach and will cop a hiding!!! Last one that came through wrecked 3 rooms and heaps of water damage.

Mind you when the big one comes, that's when a select few step up
