What we talk about
- Emma and Guy's seven weeks in Western Australia. They went for the reliable sea breeze and the chance to wing, kite and downwind
- Arriving in Perth to a big downwind scene, locals lending boards, and a first run from the North Mole at Scarborough
- Two weeks at Margaret River over Christmas, where fast moving swell meant Emma did better on a 650 foil than the 850 she'd been using
- Ten days up north at Exmouth and Ningaloo: heat, little shade or fuel, camping, shark and dolphin sightings and long coastal downwinders
- Emma learning to downwind on a 1300 foil and an AFS board, and a tough run at Teignmouth where tide and time pressure caused trouble
- Why UK downwinding is harder than Western Australia, with changeable wind, backwash and tide, though the Exmouth channel works well in winter
- Shorter downwind boards, foils with tubercles, aspect ratios, and whether people will end up on long or short boards
- Summer plans and a first go on a parawing
