Have fun See on the weekend
Hey crew, don't forget to sign up early for robe, so you have a chance of getting your hoodie size.. You will need it as winter is on its way..
You can drop in or Call Onboard Glenelg Ph08 82943866
Only 3 weeks to go.... yippy, I can feel the red bull shakes coming on already..
Just think, in two weeks time on this nice Sunday morning, you will just be waking up after the 2nd night of mad partying, Friday night, the 3rd Ramp car park Party, brought to you by Coopers and Red bull, and then the Saturday night at the Robe pub, with two many shoots and watching stewie make a new name for him self for this year.. (“Don't you know you I am” stewie yells.) Bring on the laughs.
Then this morning you are about to go and get wet again, for the 3rd day in row.. To back it all up again On the Sunday night at the Robe Bowls club for prezz'os. Just lucky Monday is rest day..
So fired up for this... jumping into the water the Saturday morning kills the hangover instantly.. so freessshhh.
Is anyone hiring a house that will have some room on the floor for the 2 extra DJs and their Gf's that are coming down? They are staying the Friday and Saturday night only and will pay for it.
Cheers
Hey guys, just letting you know that the Onboard team are looking after your safety..
We have once again confirmed a 6 Seater Taxi bus to transport you from Robe township to 3rd Ramp for the Friday night Coppers/ Red Bull Car park Party. For $20 total each way, its a good safe way to get from Robe to the party and back again.. For $6.66 each ( for 6 people), thats a great cheap night out...
It will be picking up from the Celebration Bottle shop from 7pm and if you talk nice to the driver, they might even drop you off at your door at the end of the night..
So not many days to go now...
Any chance to designate the party site as the only pickup point for the return journey. Last year this process was a bit kaotic in the end with people being picked up randomly along the road back into town and some people ended up with long walks not knowing if the mini bus was coming back (The van driver seemed to have no clear idea whether any more or how many more people required pickup) . Just a suggestion....
Yowser- The game is on @ Robe !!!!
My inside sources have told me that-
The Friday night Party will go off its trolley and be a rad mix of fun, good times and socialising.
The ladies wine tour is fully booked- so there are at least 30 chicks coming !
The pub will actually serve us drinks this year on Sat nite
There will be a ladies sup on the sunday morning
Martys 4wd tour will rival anything you have seen on the Leyland Brothers
Sunday nite pressos will get looser than ever
Stewie will make a dick of himself at some stage over the weekend
Even if there is no wind you will come back smiling from ear to ear and with more debaucherous stories than Paris Hilton !
Hey, heading to Robe on Thursday morning and have space in the van to take gear if needed, will be in Robe from 2pm (ish) but happy to help out if anyone needs something taken up. Space is limited, by limited I mean I cant take up someones 12foot SUP!
Cheers

Need one night accomodation in Robe for event. Please help!!
Hi, I'm from New York (currently living in Hong Kong). Me and my girlfriend are driving from Adelaine to Melbourne over Easter Holidays. We will drive to Robe to kitesurf with you guys on April 2nd. We desperately need a place to stay for April 2nd night. We looked around , but everything is booked.
Can somebody help us to find a place to sleep for that night?
We both are kitesurfers, so we don't require anything fancy. We would love to stay with anybody who could give us a couch to sleep on.
Or, obviosly if somebody could rent us a room for one night only, we'd be very greatful.
Please contact me directly if you can help or have a good adivce where we could sleep that night.
If we bring a tent with us, is there any place we can put up a tent for the night?
of course this would be our last choice, but if there is absolutely no place to stay and we have no choice but to sleep in a tent, we'll do that. So maybe somebody can let us camp in their backyard for one night?
My HK phone: +852-6460 - 2625
or you can reply to me on this forum.
Really appreciate any help on this.
Regards,
Dave.

Chops
I can't wait for the forby mission,
has everyone made plans for there sand flags yet?????
Any Ideas on where to go are welcome, and of course wind dependant.
I was thinking maybe a beachport to Nora Cerena Run or all the way through to Robe might be a good adventure for us all. The Beachport end of Little Dip has some great open dunes for everyone to try to conquer, think the sarahra desert with ocean veiws.
The Beachport end also has the advantage of B- lines through the tough stuff for those who have "Toy forby's" or a Jeep, aka geoff.
Can't wait all come and see us on the beach if you have any questions.
