I remember kitestock like this...... getting woken up by two bouncers and not getting kicked out hahaha happy days
^^ Ha ha you couldn't even remember your harness.
Do you remember getting up on stage and singing a song .....we do.
What a mad couple of weeks Warnnambool then Kitestock.
I am rating it as one of the most enjoyable kite stocks we have had, and the wind was so average ! Imagine how good it would of been if it had been on ?
Mind Boggling !!
Still Managed to get two kites, 3 Sups, a couple of dives and multiple swims so the lack of wind did not keep us out of the ocean.
Needless to say the parties where awesome and we went back to back for three nights !
Well done to WAKSA for a very well organised event !
I Had a superb weekend greatspots beach pub etc. The wife however a non kiter ($ 150.00 still) thought the food was verry poor, last year there were at least two vegetarian choices day and night this year on the two nights at the priory she was told there was spuds peas and fu,.,.g sweetcorn .
Sorry waska if this looks like im having a go but it was a big let down after kitestock MMX
I thought I was mad taking a 15M C4 to Kitestock, but I used it 4 times while I was in WA and twice at Donga/kitestock.
We kited Thursday in 30+ knots on 7/8M kites, Friday on the 15 C4, Saturday was just surfing and sup, Sunday was C4 15M, and Monday was 15 at Wedge.
Awesome organisation by the WAKSA crew, such a fun event.
i remember alright was epic weekend, flying the awsome taboo 17m on uber long lines was awsome, was good flying on a diffarent tack.
FILTHY hangover on saterday but survived to nail some tickets whoooooooo gotta love the after party party

and some of it like this
Thanks WAKSA for another awesome kitestock!
Did a downwinder on Saturday and put into practice what I learnt at the Benwilson Wave Clinic.
Tried a bit of the umhooking thing on the beach until some nude old bugger decided to go swimming . Now I have to try unhooking in the ocean.
And also tried the toe side upwind gybe, and surprisingly gained some ground upwind on a 7m in sub 20knots.
Learnt some valuable things at the clinic.
Cheers

Heard it was a bit Hollywood,especially for the MC,embarrassingly so, and that a couple of the chicks had a competition of their own going to see who could get the most attention,and that was cringe material also......pity about wind sounds like a great event
