I'll be going, but I'll likely only be watching. Buggered my shoulder and have to get an ultrasound Monday to see if it needs to be fixed Either way, it needs rest for a while.
Hey Mr Bonk, that sucks about your shoulder. Bad timing.
Any guys thinking about coming up and not competing should enter regardless because there's going to be aome great divisions including races, kicker sessions and so on and there will be tonnes of prizes easily outdoing your $50 entry fee. Boards from Nobile, Liquid Force, clothing and accessories from Slingshot and Best, subscriptions to Kiteboarder Magazine and even seabreeze.com.au sms packs and plenty more!!
Hey bill sounds like its going to be sick just wondering when we registered were we ment to receive a comfirmation email??
The Best Kiteboarding Team will be there.
Cam Prest
Thomas Motto
Luke Bourke

if i just rock up (haven't registered) for the days will i be allowed to actually ride? i dont' even care about competing just wanna be able to hit the water if there's good wind.
It looks like the wind is going kick in. There is a camp ground 250m from the event.

Should be all time. There should be some space around for guys to free-ride. Please just be a bit courtious and try to stay out of the way of the event as it runs.
The caravan park should have some camp spaces but it definitely doesnt have anything in the way of cabins. If you need this sort of accomodation your best bet will be Kellys Beach Resort www.kellysbeachresort.com.au/. They've also been good enough to do a 25% discount for anyone who mentions the Nationals event so there will be a great scene with plenty of kiters staying at the same place.
Yeap boys I'm there going to be great nmot just to ride but top catch up with the whole crew again..
I plan on having the camera out too so keep your eye out for it..
Can't wait :-)
that lagoon is awesome in a SE. should be a ripper event if you get good wind. a beautiful place that's for sure.
Red Bull is over, Rockstar will be on site if you dare. lol. You'll see!
Also bring your helmets if you might be keen on some kicker action. we'll have a bit of abest trick for cash event (not too much casy but the kickers should be pretty fun regardless, haha). Kickers on both tacks for the first time i've seen!
Forgot to mention.
Friday night party is the 80's party in town. Start op shopping now for your outfit. I just wish my hair was a bit longer at the moment so i could cut a decent mullet.
anyone needing a lift im leaving the sunnycoast thursday arvo and i have a seat left if anyone needs it. 0423700541
i dont think they will need it, wind forecasts are looking straight out of the west at this stage, haha.
