We have had a very busy and windy week running into Christmas. It has been lovely having some traveling kiteboarders around and being able to take some photo's on the sunny windy days. Here are some pics of Kevin, Megan and Joe out at One Tree Point with Mt Manaia in the background and the NW cloud cap on the heads.
The swell has come up and it was 25 to 35 knots from the East yesterday, so DK and I played hookie and got a downwind session in the waves from Tip Rd to the Power station. DK got to try the 8m Gaastra Jeckyll in windy conditions and thinks he found the top end for his 78kg's in some of the gusts. The bottom end of the kite is superb and the quick release/ safety system has been improved from last year. Still got good bar feel, stable flying charactaristics and that good turning from having no pulleys anywhere. If you want to try it - you are more than welcome to give us a call or pop in. There are always Decay Kiteboards available to demo too!
We'll be available throughout this festive season and would love to show you around our spots. Merry Christmas all!

Hey There!!! Delighted to find your blog as we are coming to North Island in 4 weeks and hoping to do as much kitesurfing as possible. Spot photos look great! Can't wait to hit the water. Any chance you could advice on kites (sizes) we should be taking with us? Is it windy in February? Best wishes for New Year! Kasia & Gavin from Ireland
