Shortest day...

Today is the shortest day of the year with the winter solstice officially at 13:04hrs, 21st June 2013, in Perth. So from here onwards the days will be getting longer and I am looking forwards to the spring and summer winds.

I cant really complain as we still get more sunshine and dry days here in Perth than a lot of places...

Feel de-power!

In my quest for a low wind buggy engine I am now looking at some other options...

A second hand depower kite, there are a few out there though they are a little bit more expensive than a new foil!

The winter weather is strange here in Perth, we only seem to get any decent wind ahead of a storm or rain, otherwise it is still and calm. Hence the need for something bigger.
