Sunday:
Northwest winds 10 to 15 knots increasing to 20 to 25 knots later

Looks like a switch to Presidents Park is the way things are going to go...
Not actually sure I will make it this weekend, as I've got quite a bit on; but that's not def yet.

Goshen, you took the words out of my mouth. Was just about to post a similar suggestion. I have kited at Apex Park with Westerlies and it's damned gusty and out right nasty. With a Northerly it would only get worse with the big row of trees on the Northern boundary.

Northerlies are very nice at President's Park.

I suppose the only other option is the hill next to Apex Park, the 100 steps to federation, but the space is limited. Never tried it there for landboarding.

My vote is for Presidents Park.

Don't forget to park in the Hockey and Softball car park (it's the third one).

A much shorter walk to the area we will be using.

I think it will be the same area as we used last week for those that were there.

PS: bring some spare tyres or tubes, many of us had flats. :(

Hope the winds will be as smooth as they were this afternoon. Only 4-6 knots at ground level but just enough for a couple of scoots across the paddock.

Well bring the big kites!!!!

Latest BOM forecast for today:

Sunday
Northerly winds up to 10 knots. Afternoon and evening seabreezes around 10
knots. Waves half a metre or less.

Fingers crossed it is usable!!

Packing car too.
See you there!

Hi Folks,

Just a quick post to say great day again, shame the race wasn’t better. If only the wind had behaved itself all would have been good in the world, the sun was out and it was amazing!


Joel where's the Presidents Park video, George the Jumper in action, would love to see that!
