Hi all , thanks for the calls , here are the details for you all.
We’ll have the conditions, you’ll have the support, CHOICEKITESURFING’S DOWNWINDA – DEPARTURE @ 15.00hrs from Woodman Point – your choice of beach. Finish point @ South Beach – barbeque area, some food provided plus BYO.
Friends and families, spot prizes included. Christmas fun day!
For those of you who may not have done an ‘ intentional ‘ Down wind run , then this is a nice easy cruise off the breeze. For those who are more experienced then you can have a ball jumping your brains loose , or buddy up with a few crew and have your own drag race, dress up as Santa, whatever. Take your time and cruise and it will take about an hour. I would be interested in times from those who do race.
Then come ashore and join the family. South beach is a great place to hang out in the afternoon with the kids, there is a café clean toilets, showers, grass, BBQs and plenty of shelter from the wind. So get dropped off at woodies , then get your partner go to south beach with your picnic . Please bring along cricket sets , and some balls’ , there will be some b2 land kites for those who are interested in learning to fly small land kites. It would be nice to see this as a regular thing. If all goes well, your wife and kids may be asking you “when are we going kitesurfing next ?”
Bring . Your family and friends,
BBQ foods and drinks (gas BBQ on site)
Beach sports stuff, Volleyball, Cricket set, footy
Christmas spirit.
For riders
Three do’s and three do not’s
Do not attempt to do this run if you are not competent at RIDING, WATER RE-LAUNCHING AND SELF RESCUE . (if this is you, your help will be appreciated, with launching and landing kites at both ends, taking photos and of course join in on the fun)
DO NOT LEAVE AFTER THE BOAT!
The Boat will make its way down around 3.30 if the first crew head off at 3pm
The boat crew will be observing kitesurfers down wind of the boat .
DO NOT JUMP OR DO ANY TRICKS BETWEEN THE GROYNES AT SOUTH BEACH. (This is a swimmers beach.) If you want to show off and get your pic taken from shore then do it at the crazy waves groyne end of C Y O’conner dog beach just to the south of south beach.

Do use a safety leash
Do check your equipment
Do ride considerately

If we get no wind then we go on the Sunday.
Cya there
Choicey

i have picture of my GF on Choice home page (www.choicekitesurfing.com.au) for your viewing pleasure, so i see it only fair that all you lads bring your chickies to the beach for me to meet and greet...

i hear your lady is a hottie Puppet! may-be she can be then new Choice poster girl...

seriously guys, just because girls can multi task and learn to kite much faster than you ever did, don't keep her away from the sport... you've got the head start you need and surely she won't ever be as good as you... Then don't let your man ego be dented if she does get better than you...

also a good chance to introduce your kids to a great sport... Remember Aaron H and Giselle were both world champs at a very young age... maybe you loin spawn could be the next big thing...

keep the phone call coming to the store and we'll keep the prize pool growing...

"so far the REV is not a prize but i am sure we'll add it to the prize list if you all want to pay a entry fee of say $95each...[}:)][}:)] so far with the 17 people who are confirmed riders we should be able to cover a REV prize... NOT!!!

Bump. The forecast is looking good for Sat, see you all there.
Choicey

Hey Choicey, Pete and I will be there so bring lots of beer.

Found a board at woodies this arvo (wednesday) I think it might be one of your's.

Hi All Saturday still looks good , sunday looks to be no wind for us so its Saturday only.
See ya all at woodies from around 2.30.
Choicey

I'll race ya Choicey

Not sure if I'll get there in time though - after lessons @ Peli Pt

If I don't make it have a great arvo.

If I do I'll be begging for a lift back to Woodies afterwards

i dont think i can take another full day of kiting but meh, should be good doing a dwer to a beach i dont know

can you kite at south beach? and secondly... where is south beach??!!
Edit: I mean can I start and end at south beach or are their swimmers ect

Full cred to Choicey & crew for a fantastic outing.
After looking seriously doubtful early on the wind kicked right on time.

Perfect 13m Waroo wind

I echo the sentiments of all above - well organised great event - met lots of people, free beer & a hat! spent a solid hour on the water - bit sore but had a great day - cant wait for the next one - Thanks Choicey!

When i put this post up i forgot about a wedding i had to goto in Busso... DOH! so preyed that wind would not be good on sat and hoped to day would bring the fruit... i have got to keep the shop opened until 3 but after that i amped fore a kite...

So for any one who could not make it yesterday and wants to do a down winder today call me 9336 7884...

Glad you all had fun and i am sorry for my self that i was not there to join in the fun and festivities...

the thanks you guys have put up all ready is great and from such a wide range of people in the kite community... You're all such good ambassadors for the sport...
