Dolls Point , Quibray Bay and Towra delivered perfect wind for the BIG AIR challenge on Botany Bay today. Massive air was achieved by a number of jumpers but without doubt Moritz took the trophy with the biggest jumps ever seen on the Bay. Estimating the height of a jump is always difficult but all who observed the jumpoff would have to agree that the winning jump by Moritz had to be close to 40 feet from the flat water .... awesome jump with a magic landing .... not even the GALAH could match that one.
And on another tack ... ...as mentioned by Moritz in an earlier post ... Friday at Dolls saw a number of kiters enjoy beer and pizza after another enjoyable NE kiting session. Thanks to the Southern Sydney Kiteboard Club secretary ..Cliff ... alias " The Hoff " for running around and organizing the feed and grog. Many more such sessions will take place as we grow the Club.
And thanks to Charls " The South African White Pointer " for his photography today .... Once we get ourselves organised for regular meeting nights we can entertain ourselves with some of the " movies " made by Charls and some of the other blokes who are regularly seen with their tripods set up on the beach.
AND the " WELL DONE " award of the day goes to Simon " One Pump " for his spectacular retrieval of Jonesy's Bow kite as it hurtled unattached in 30knots , down the river towards Caringbah - excellent job One Pump ... Marty also shares in the award for his very flash capture of a runnaway Bow kite that also had its sight set on a visit to the far reaches of the Georges River ...... what is it with these Bow kites .... they just don't want to stay attached to their drivers 
. anyway lads it was great to see the mateship spirit of the Bay Kiters.
Bloody good day of kiting
cheers

I couldn't agree more with Col. Moritz was pulling some huge airs. The peanut gallery was WELL entertained. Charl aka 'Kaffa boy' did a great job with ocean filming.
I am looking foward to see what the new week will bring us at Dolls.
Jason.
thanks for letting me, Ray and Tex know about the jumpfest. I asked to be kept up to date on what was going on. Forgetting your teacher is a bit slack big fella

excuses , excuses.. but it is good to see that things are starting to happen in a club like sense. Keep it up and don't retire to the gallery just yet, talk to you later in the week.
No chance of me retiring mate. I've still got some life in me yet. Besides that , I'm allergic to peanuts .... give me a choc coated cashew any day
I think the Club is really going to kick on this year now that we are registered. What about coming down to one of the meetings once we get things going. You could demonstrate your new PREDATOR straps and give us a talk about kiting on the Bay in the early days seeing that you,Tex and Ray were the pioneers . I think that a lot of folks would be interested in hearing about your days of two line flying and the stuff the three of you got up to. Hey , you might even give a talk about teaching that bloke who pointed in the opposite direction when you asked him which way the wind was blowing. You remember him don't you .... the choker ... Remember your favourite saying to him .... " Don't choke the kite. Don't choke the f...en kite ". He was definitely the worst student you ever had .... it would give everyone a laugh .... but you don't have to mention his name ... you can keep that one a secret
ps. I noticed today that that bloke is still a choker.
Thanks Col, but it was only a question of cm between your and my jumps... I probably just got lucky with a good gust....

Hey Col who exactly was at this comp. It sound more like a jump off between you and Moritz. Where was Rich. Was any of the Kurrnel crew there
Rich and the Kurnell crew weren't there. Rich went to Wanda and the Kurnell crew stayed local. But we had probably 40 kiters + between Dolls and Towra.
Col tried to get the Kurnell crew to join the jumping fest while we were up at Quibray Bay, but none of them came down... Maybe next time.
It would be great to have Rich come around. He jumps massive.

very impressive display of airmanship yesterday. i'm gonna have to do hours of training to try to get anywhere near that league! Well done to the red north rider for the dead mans!
juat to let everyone know, Ryan is making up a dvd from footage at dolls. from what i have seen so far, it will be good to go.
he's gonna need some of your footage Moritz. you got some good stuff.
and Cole, stop being so modest you old bastard
Definitely like the idea of a movie night. When we get back from WA we will have a truck load of footage. Myles will be honing his skills and camera-shy Matt will not escape the lens. Cheers
Ok boys and girls, I have put together (very roughly) part of the footage I took on Saturday's big air stand-off between the high flyers Moritz and Col, a taster of whats to come...
Ps.Shane, I have a couple nice jumps of you too. I'll send them on soon 
Great vid!
Super big jumps!
Where is this spot?
It looks great,these guys are doing huge jumps and landing like 2 metres from the waters edge !
Most places that I go to are trying to bring in some b ullsh1t rules about not doing tricks or jumps too close to the shoreline,to prevent incidents and bans etc.Its good to find a spot where this does not apply. I'm coming over there !
no it does apply at this place, but that particular day was an an 'organised event'
Yeah,with two contestants.
Get in their way and they give you "the finger" !!!!
Great club over there. Bunch of elitist locals !
Really tolerant of outsiders."Who were those other guys out there?"
Big Hero gave one of them the finger ! Hoo-fkn-ray!
Great Video Charl, well done
Yes there were other contenders.....they just didn't jump high enough... Big effort to CJP to hold down a 14m in 30+ knts and still manage to hold an edge.

Cheer up, fliping the bird now and again just keeps people honest!!!! All in all a good bit of fun for a saturday afternoon..
40 feet?? ..... 30+ knots??.... PLEASE!!!
Aren't you guys the ones trying to bring some order to the sh@t fight at Dolls? What a great example you set. Do as I say, not as I do. That works really well.
JEFERSON... the only people that go out in 30+ knots are guys that know how to kite!

Charles, great vid. Have you seen the forecast for this weekend. I think a second round of big jumps is on. We could do it at Wanda and get the extra hight by hitting some wave ramps...
Let's get something organised....
M
mmm on second thoughts, the wave prediction for Sat/Sun is over 3m... To hardcore for me
Moritz,
If you want to hold any kind of competition that you are going to make official by talking up on the internet, then you need to approach waterways, the council and the clubbies and get the permits. I am sure the people at the NSW windsurfing clubs can tell you how.
If you don't do it properly you may cause some real problems for the rest of us. After the number of people seen kiting through the flags at Wanda lately and dropping kites that then drift through the flags I really can't recommend that anyone push their luck with the clubbies any more.
Doing these little competitions away from crowded beaches would probably be the best idea for everyone.
