The Kitepower 300
Kitepower is looking for 6 people to join them on the kite road trip of a lifetime.
For at least 300 days the new Kitepower bus will tour the top spots along the East Coast of Australia starting at Cairns/Yorkeys Knob in May 2008 then on to Townsville, Alva Beach, Mackay, Whitehaven Beach (we will rent a 50' cat for a week or so), Bowen, Rockhampton, Tannum Sands, Elliot Heads, Hervey Bay, Noosa, Caloundra, Brighton in Brisbane, Byron, Lennox Head, Coffs, Port Macquarie, Foster, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Geroa, Merimbula, Lakes Entrance, Sandy Pt, St Kilda, Altona, Geelong/Torquay, Warnambool, Portland, Coorong, Adelaide/Lights Landing/Semaphore, Cactus, Woodies, Margs, Lancelin, etc, etc, etc and ending in Geraldton/Corronation Beach in April 2009.
We would like to hear from people who can be with us for the entire trip, Kitepower will provide all the latest kites from Cabrinha, Ozone, North, Slingshot, Best, Flysurfer, and Peter Lynn. We will also have mountainboards from MBS, and Dirt Theory, buggies from Flexifoil, Libre and Peter Lynn.
Land kites from Peter Lynn, Ozone and Flexifoil.
All breakfasts on tour are provided and there will be food available for lunch and dinner too, but you may choose to eat in the local towns for variety if you wish. However we plan to invite at least one person with chef/cooking skills and will be eating well, because we know how important good food is for kiters who are doing lots of kiting and thats the plan! Lots of kiting.
The bus will comfortably sleep 6, there is a doublebed bunk room and 3 single bed bunks, shower on board as well as a dunny, full on luxury, including a full kitchen.
There is a roll out annexe on one side of the bus for outdoor living in almost any weather.
Some one with a license to drive a bus will be almost certain to win a place on the tour. Some final finishing touches are happening with the bus now and we will be ready to leave Sydney on Monday May 21st, so please send your details, including age, sex, skill level, and a short story in approx 100words why you want to join the tour. Send all applications to sydney(at)kitepower.com.au addressed to Steve.

i can't drive a bus, but i'm pretty good at licking windows?
hope you have a better run than the best bus
OH MY GOD, that would be insane. Whoever gets it is going to have a trip of a lifetime.
Is it going to be an annual thing?
OMG where is the drooling smiley.
Dont believe rellie. He sure can appreciate a feed - any feed - but you gotta doubt the cooking claim.
I vote a BIG no.1 for Tobes as tour chef.
Jees!
What I wouldn't give if I didn't have a wife and two cats to feed.
Good on ya Steve, are there going to be regular updates / video evidence?
Those scrambled eggs left quite an impression with you eh Puppet!?

ahahahaha steve!!!! i was just thinking of ways i could get into that with a good letter. AHAHA i thought it sounded a bit far fetched. Like going on a trip for a year, with all kites/food/travel included... i know kites are expensive but ur not making that much are you? ahahha goood one!
Shat, should have read the last few posts before reacting. Windgenuity just bidded on a bus online at pickles to come join you! I guess now we'll be going by our selves (assuming we win the bid).
JB
The bidding just ended, and we are the new proud owners of a great tour van. Now quite as big and comfy as the KP one, but here she is.....
you gonna be doin some ghost busting JB??? hahahahaha
p.s. i thought the kitepower thing was a hoax, seemed rather impractical in many ways lol.
Looks like fun...
until they all decide to have curry for dinner one night!!
Hope it's got an emergency blow out window...
Lucky sods.
soooo.. whos bus is it..
random kitepower bus
I think this tour should still go ahead... but 300 days is a big long
Hey Haircut, what was wrong with the Best Bus?!!!! That was a great tour, we met many nice natives and have many fond mamories from that trip. Okay there was the odd death threat or two ("if you bring those **ity Best kites to our beach we'll burn them and your rep" is one of the comments i remember), but hey kitesurfing is an extreme sport!!!! Obviously either my nice nature or my great big guns made them back down!!!
Anyways, Chinese Steve - hats off!! That was a bloody big maggot you used to hook that lot!!!!! LOLs
