I will bring about 30 flares up on the day which racers will be able to use (for free). I'll endeavour to make them available at the registration desk.

Glad to see you have turned this into a kite-surfing event. Weldone. Dont forget to bring your moneny.
Any one able to give me a lift up to lanno Saturday morning? I dont have a car at the moment. I would like to go in the freestyle event. (Wind permitting)
I'm fine for a lift back.
I live in Alkimos so im not too far out of the way.
I've Just swapped for this event, going from the 'Windsurf' marathon to the 'Kiting', because the forecast for the saturday looks pretty shocking and Sunday, well at least it may happen , though might be an upwinder to begin with!
Does anyone know whether we have to have sail numbers on our kites etc? I've just joined Waksa, I have a floatation device, and two indusrtrial size orange smoke flares (i can wear them like Dive tanks....).
How does the start work,
Does everyone have there kites pre -launched and run down the beach, or is everyone already on the water, I've been kiting 13 odd years (I will be on the retro C kite) but have never done an event like this and the info from the LOC site I can't seem to find.
welcome to the dark side champ . start will be like any normal sailing regatta with either a 10 or 5 minute countdown . IE on the water . sail number no . Do you have a rashie with an identifying number ?
Looking at the latest forecast on BOMs Met Eye wind isn't due to turn SW until approx. 3 & then crank up to 30-40 knots by 5.
How late can you run the race?
