Yeah... Much Kudos ( and smart marketing) to LF for doing this, price is quite reasonable, and seems like a great way to help our groms, and promote your brand in the best way... Respect. ( essential disclaimer... Never owned a LF anything...)

Tractorguy asked - "Sounds promising Chris , Who are the pro coaches and riders that will be mentoring the groms ?"

Mate, the majority of coaching will be done by me with the help of arguably some of the best riders and great people from our LF team. The likes of Katie Potter freshly back from riding sic on the PKRA will be on hand for the girls, Declan, Harry, Kurtis, Brent, Cammo and Nathan are all very good riders in their own styles and can coach, which is rare for most riders. But these guys understand the process of learning the basics well and building upon that, this is our philosophy, take riders back to move forward by breaking everything down to small movements etc.

The current LF team is very strong and these guys are really good people who are void of ego and just want to see everyone progress.

This is exactly what my son needs at the moment over 100 hrs trainer kite has had a couple of runs with his kite so can get up on board and stuff but still trying to get him to learn the body drag properly and the self rescue . Just needs some encouragement to take him that next step he will be off then . Hope I can get him there bit hard with work and stuff . Just notice that this is a Monday and Tuesday is this correct .

Juicerider... not at this stage! This is the first one and we will learn and see how this works! I am passionate about development especially the youth in the sport, so hopefully we can develop a full grom program, but at this stage we will be running Project Kaizen Professional Coaching clinics aus wide and all are welcome, there is a post up presently with dates for all stops!!

Hey guys, great response to our Grom Camp with it pretty much being booked out!! If there are junior riders out there that are not beginners we may be able to fit one or two more in!!

Please call today if you have not booked in and you may be lucky - 07 5455 6677

In typical Liquid Force fashion we will cover off in event of no wind by providing a winch, skateboards, sups and a three hour cable session early Tuesday morning!! The cable set will get thrown down regardless of wind!!

Such a good vibe all ready and we are stoked to get junior riders progressing!

Cheers, Chris

Learn something more than mowing the lawn or backroll faceplants?

If everyone pony's up 5 bucks each we can throw him on Jetstar...

Eppo.. You're welcome, Thank me later.

After looking at wind charts for the last 3 days think you guys should move this to the Tuesday , Wednesday instead of Monday , Tuesday would be more wind for them . Just a thought .

First a big THANK you to the LF team and the Adventure Sports crew to a top 2 days . My son up and riding beside me is now locked into the memory bank THAT was cool . Only wished I had a gopro to tape it for his mum to see . He felt so confident with all the help/couching it was all he needed and with that a special thanks to George for all his help . Last thing that winch pull riding was so sick and there were some big crashes was good to watch and not be on the end of the rope getting hurt . The kids are so far forward in there skills then me . When this comes to your town get your kids there defently worth the money . Again Thanks liquid force crew was a blast .

Looks like there was a bit of couching going on from that photo

Good stuff liquid force, great idea, executed with no wind options, $100 price tag is very reasonable too. Good investment in the youth, I imagine Liquid Force has gained a few more frothing customers - everyone wins.

Liquid Force Grom Kite Camp (32 photos)
Awesome two days of junior rider development!! Thank you to all the riders who attended especially those who travelled long distances to attend. It was great to be involved and watch everyone improve and take away something to work on. Liquid Force is very proud to be apart of developing the future riders in our sport and we look forward to many more days like these!

Huge thank you to Mick Neville (Liquid Force Kite Australia) and the ML Watersports Team, George and Fiona and the Kitesurf Australia crew, GoWake Cable Park - Bli Bli, GoRide Australia, DNA Winches, Scotty Green, and the Liquid Force Kite Team for their massive efforts!! A very special thank you to the Blake Family- Darren Blake, Alison Blake and Beau Blake for their amazing hospitality and continuous support.

See you all next time, we still have loads of photos and video to go through so watch this space as we add more!!

Cheers, Chris ??? in Noosa Heads.
