Finally got far enough south that the (deadly) box jellyfish wasn't a concern, so we went kiting!

It was glide light, but a nice flat water spot with a ton of potential... might have another go at it before we head south towards Noosa Head and Brisbane.. hitting Frasier Island tomorrow (no kites just cameras.)

'Why do they call it XXXX?'

'Because Queenslanders can't spell BEER!'

[Ha ha ha ha ha - from a Tasmanian]

Enjoy Brisvegas.

Found some flat water today... got some shots of the impressive locals. Nic and I were kiting at the same time so no shots of us


Mmmmm, slick


Grab on land


Grab in the air


Unhoooked


Carving flat water is fun


Rode this thingy

Not sure what Rooster was like the other day, but it was so hot here I actually had to come in and cool down. I am guessing the water and air were both in the 80's. Hate me. Very Happy

So many days on the road I have forgotten where we are at this point.

We found Andy Yates and his friends. Sorry no picts of Phil they were all blurry. Not the best lighting for picts but took some anyway. Enjoy

Kiting this part of the world is fantastic. Phil, hope we can connect here in the next few days while your around Brisbane.

Windiest day yet, super overpowered on the 9m... turned into a dangle fest (and we were loving it) ...

Photos by BettyB (thanks sweetie!)


Start the day...


I am overpowered


Kitelooping local (this was a small one)


Oops I crapped my pants


Water down there somewhere


"Silly humans"

Oh and BTW, XXXX Gold isn't going to win any contests, but its definitely my favorite post sesh beer down here... nothing washes down the salt water like a good light/cheap beer... Then with your din din a nice Walking Man IPA would be preferable, but I'll take what I can get down here Very Happy
