Surfcraft including kites are banned at Leighton during summer.

Cott is up the road, make sure you have WAKSA tags.

If Leighton doesn't suit people without tags how does Scarbs or Woodies or Safety bay sound?

We have the technology to travel.
Your call.

i think what QLD JimBob is referring to is...


We ask that sponsors:
* avoid starting new topics to promote product/demo days,

so i'd like to take this opportunity to let every one know that there is a great NEW Kiteboarding brand in Australia.... Called NEW Kiteboarding from Gero just Nth of Perth and for all those who like to support locals and young and upcoming business ventures by people with similar interests to you and I, there will be a try before you buy day at a great Perth Beach on the 15th of Nov... so if you'd like to know more about this great opportunity to support a local, PM NJPornstar or call Graham Baker www.choicekitesurfing.com.au for further details...

i am not a site sponsor nor am i affiliated with New but i did pay for a 14m to be sent to Switzerland and love it.... i would recommend to all who have time to get down to the demo day and TRY to wreck a New kite before it wrecks you!!

I also think JimBob is just p!55ed that he can't come coz he's stuck in QLD with s#!t wind... my advice is shhhh and give a young local a chance.... I have never met NJPornstar but am sure he is a good guy and deserves a shot at the title... + his kites are great... If you ask nice JimBob he might send a demo kite over to your local kite shop...

happy testing folks... shame i can't be there in that great seabreeze... oh hang on thursday 15th... my plane lands in Perth at 4:30pm... guess i miss the test day but have the next 5 mths of wind.... see you all at a beach in WA soon....

For cheap flights to Perth jimBob check QANTAS.COM

hope i followed the rules maybe you could check for us JimBob...

We're all here to enjoy and enhance our sport, so the "rules" for posting in this forum are pretty simple:

1. Be good to others.
2. Keep it fun.
3. Keep it clean - no swearing, harrasement etc.
4. Keep it fun.
5. Keep it legal!
6. Keep it fun.
7. No Advertising.

What are we all here for? To discuss kitesurfing - last time I checked it's something we do for fun.

These forums are an extension of that. Our goal is that they extend the sport - and add to the fun.

I will think you will find Pornstar has been given a very wide berth because it is a Western Australian company, Steve copped a lot more flak for a lot less pimping.

lol.
Steve invented pimping.
Steve made pimping into an art form.
But that's OK, everybody does it.

Why do people care that the Pornstar is trying to promote products on this forum?

He is promoting "kites" and this is a "Kitesurfing" forum! Big Deal!!!

A site sponsor pays good money to advertise on this site, and a Demo day is only helping to promote the sport.

Obviously we dont want a forum that contains only advertising, (if that's what we wanted... we could just go out and buy a kiteboarding magazine!) but what's wrong with letting people know about a Demo day?

Hope the demo day goes well.

well Skwinty my friend let me open your eyes to a great Australian tradition called 'Tall Poppy Syndrome' you see what Australians like nothing more than to slap a guy back into place especially if he's doing well... coz well really no body like a show off... Most other countries have the opposite... they get behind their country men with support and love... not down under though... they'd prefer you just blended in... maybe it's because they them selves are a little jealous that it's not their New Kiteboarding idea or maybe it's because they feel like failures and the best way they know who to deal with it is to to try bring that tall poppy back down to their level...

hope that fill you in as to why; people care that the Pornstar is trying to promote products on this forum?

Sad but that's the way it's been down under for a long time and i am sure it aint gonna change in a hurry...

good wind and enjoy testing the NEW Kiteboarding Kites for those that find the time to check out what a local lad is upto... if you can't get down there i am sure Choice has a few NEW kites in the shop for people to demo... enjoy them!

Wow, I sleep and look what happens
Thanks for the support guys.

It's planned to be a pretty low key sort of thing.

or maybe we will need to hire security guards to keep away all the pestering paparazzi on 4wheeler jetskis and snipers with elephant guns hidding in the bush.

Now that we're back on daylight savings, it doesnt get dark till 8pm. So you'll probably be able to squeeze a couple hours of daylight in at the beach . The forecast is looking good too.

I don't think having a demo day is pimping or even advertising, I wish all resellers would do the same. Here is a guy who is standing by his products and you can have a no obligation fly. No hype or long colourful BS reviews, just turn up and have a go.

NKPornstar, great idea only problem is the 15th is the start of the Cray season and I will be off diving. Hopefully I can make it next time.

Dont worry about that!.. C-kites are different to Bows, but not that much different. Just give it a try, the pornstar will give you a few tips to get you started.

He he haha.
Dont be scared
I just call them a C kite to stir people up. They are an open arc C kite(tm) with all the advantages of a most styles of kites. They launch and land the same as all types of bridle kites and do everything a good C kite can do.
They also have better safety than what you are used to in strong wind.

They are super versitile kites if your aware of what they can do.

Come on down and try for your self.

Here's a rough vid done in Geraldton last winter.
Gav Hirch kindly filmed it.
It basically shows, from another angle how the kites react in the water, what the Neutralizer 5 does and how to easily self land.
The wing tips are nice and wide to catch the wind to launch from a 'U' position.
Works well in 20knots of wind.
