Just a reminder guys and gals, the "wind will and gravity tour" is on this weekend in beautiful Augusta WA!!! So all you folks who are still thinking about comming or haven't booked it in yet this is your last chance!!!
This is going to be a wonderful event with world class riders such as Andy Yates as well as a colourfull bunch of euro riders that I'm sure you would all love to meet.
This event will be focusing heavily on the media side of things and recently KBM profiled world class photographer Paul Smyth will be your man behind the lens making everyone look unbelievable!

I hope to see you all there! I will leave you with a couple of teasers from the man himself.

Hey everyone,

This is news to me.

I never committed to the event, and I will not be attending.

I wish you an awesome time with sick winds!!

Cheers,

Andy Yates

Just an update for all you beautiful people out there.

Day one: The lighting was perfect, the strong euro contingent was lovely and the colours were almost to good to be true, yesterday was amazing!

Day two is looking even better and the wind is already increasing! If you are having second thoughts about comming down, don't! This place is paradise!

Although Andy couldn't make it here in person, he was here in spirt and gave us all the motivation to ride our hardest and bring out the champion within us all!

I reckon a simple apology is in order rather than tapdancing.

I'm glad it's been a good event so far.

Day 3 was awesome! Excellent conditions today with wind most kiters were saying was well into the 40's! Paul was the guru behind the lens once again and while most people were enjoying lunch the best conditions were firing and some awesome shots were captured. (pics to come soon).

Not as many people as we thought showed up, so if your thinking of coming down, we have some free accommodation and BBQs on every arvo for anyone willing to make an appearance!

Andy, as an official organiser of this event I apologise for the confusion.

Mr Saturated - I do not know who you are, and whilst I thank you for trying to promote our event I would prefer if you didn't put your foot in it. I don't know where you got your information from. Andy was approached but couldn't make the event, we knew this early on. Furthermore, at no point were we offering free accomodation or food for spectators. This is not your call to make.

One more point - while you seem to be a big fan of Paul Smyth's photography I would like to give credit to the other three photographer/filmmakers who were equally involved in the event.

Photos will appear in KBM, Kiteworld and Kitemag from the WWG visual team - Gwen Velge, Ding, Jo Ciastula and Paul Smyth.

Regards
Cielito
