Hopefully it will be a good season and there will be at least 6 months of non-stop seabreezes! Fingers crossed!

I've got my first surfing lessons next Saturday and Sunday, I don't know if there is going to be much swell, but I can't wait.

Best we keep quiet about "how great it is" and then we can have it all to ourselves!

Geraldton is a top place to kite surf, too windy for my skill level, I think I'd end up in Asia!

I think he must have been working really hard at it. 2 years ago (when we saw him last) he spent about an hour getting rigged up and 2 seconds on the water, before being dragged, big stylie across the beach, face down, into the path of an incoming four wheel drive! (i'm sorry, but it was funny as, for those of us watching!
) But he was a tad p*ssed off mind you!
