Boys, let's hope there is going to be wind this Thursday night! I'll be up there then staying at the Whyalla Foreshore Inn so I'll be right out front of the action!
Yep..good value for money there! I will enter... walk around with my New Rashie and try and win with the biggest Crash! 
The biggest crash prize may not be the best one to go fore, whyalla is a bit shallow and bones can break, but good luck anyway.
If anyone is coming down early on friday arvo i am trying to organise a downwinder from another beach just out of town its around 7kms and even in 25 kts the biggest wave you will see will just be a ripple. Gave it a run last week and there was patches that were actual glass not a ripple and yes it is actually straight down wind to main beach of whyalla takes around 45mins with lots of mucking around and then can ride main beach till dark or later.
The comp should be sick looks like weather should be just right cant weight to hit that slider again. hope to see you all soon
[}:)]
Nice work Waxy- I will be rolling in on Friday around 1 at the latest or even coming up Thurs night. Count me in on a downwinder for sure.
Current forecast for this week in Whyalla
www.weatherzone.com.au/sa/west-coast/whyalla , click on the detail tab to see the wind info.
If the forecast is correct then add the sea breeze on top of the 3pm wind speed for a possible 30 knots from the south on friday night and a bit less on saturday evening
hey lads, count me in for the down winder, sounds awesome. Looks like there will be a bbq and drinks at my place friday night if anyone is interested... Just a nice easy start to a massive weekend :)
Hey lads, Won't be able to make the down winder. But absolutely frothing for saturdays comp and the triple birthday celebrations later in the evening.
With what looks like a massive crew from the big smoke heading up and Eyre Penninsula's best riders and drinkers. It's lookn like a F#%KN HUGE weekend is approaching.
See ya soon
ONLY 3 MORE SLEEPS TO GO ARE WE DRINKING OR KITEING OR CAN WE DO BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LEAVING ON SAT MORNING HAS ANYONE THOUGHT OF MEETING UP AND DRIVEING DOWN IN A BIG CONVOY.WHYALLA WONT KNOW WHAT HIT THEM WHEN THE ADELAIDE CREW ARRIVE
Just a small warning to anyone who hasn't kited in Whyalla before.
The blue line (weed line) is full of razor fish, so try to avoid standing up within 5m from the weed line or in the weed
Apart from that, get your liver ready for a BIG night
I heard a rumor that the sliders will have compulsory use of a helmet- so if u have a lid bring it along.
Soooooooooooo keen for the action- forecast is good, game on.
slider,beer helmets cant we do it all at the same time.
any one know where i can get a beer despensing helmet?
i saw one in the whayala shopping centre at smokemart across from the food court last time i was there at xmas
sweet they have red blue and yellow anyone know what bevridges work best in these helmets while kiting beer may be a bit frothy?
I would just like to make point that it is VERY important that all kites follow the give way rules on saturday as there will be kites everywhere.
In case anyone has forgoten the give way rules, its simple
-Give Way to Liquid Force Kites at all times -
Thats definatly an actual rule I have seen it before somewhere. Its because that to actually giveway you would need to have controll of the kite which is a lot harder on a liquidforce kite.
Nah, I heard that you need to give way to Cab riders, because we rock... And we have way no idea what the hell we are doing.. Just look we have tommy scott on our team, thats enough to explain that we are rulers of the water
So stoked only a couple of day to go....
Gentlemen, Gentlemen, Gentlemen....
Above any petty 'my kite is better than yours'
(I have a Slingshot so words need not be said about this awe-inspiring kite...)
You must of course give way to all ladies on the water!
Chivalry is not dead - it is customary!
we dont need to give way to tommy. his only move is a backroll and the likelyhood of a massive wipeout fromn that is minimal
Nah i think u should all give way to Team North, were going to be charging! he he
Blake whats the deal with the BBQ fri night? Looks like Gardner and I will shoot through early on Fri arvo, bout 4pm. Wont get up there for a kite but keen to relax with you boys over a BBQ and a few drinks.
We will not have to worry about team North. You guys will just drive by the comp area and ride about 5km's further down the beach. That's what you guys do now days
Trav havent u got the hint yet. Ill spell it out for u nice and slow so u can follow (hopefully),

Y O U !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he he
Wow- everyone is starting to fire up. Game on.
And for the record I like you Trav....
hey guys, the plan is to have anyone in town around to my place for a bit of food and some drinks when ever we finish at the beach friday night... I live at 15 billing street, or give me a call on 0432795798, and i will give you directions. I am supplyin the food so all you have to do is bring some drinks for yourself. Lookin forward to catchin up with everyone. Blake.
Anyone keen on the downwinder on friday meet down the whyalla beach 1,1.30 .to check conditions and if good I will transport anyone that wants to be in it out there to set up.
The seabreez on friday afternoon will go off be at the beach at 4.30 with your small kites watter will be shallow but supper flat next to the sandbar and straight infont of the beach as tide comes in.
Had an awesome kite with all the Whyalla crew this arvo for a solid 4 hours session in 30 knots winds. FANTASTIC!!! There is some serious talent up here that will give all the Adelaide a good run for their money in Saturdays comp. The boys were all going hard and putting some serious hurt on the line! Can't wait for tomorrows session now and even more so for Saturdays comp!
You are so lucky to get to ride whyalla on a light wind day tomorrow is looking sick, lots of interest in downwinder from 8 mile creek, sandbar session from around 3.30 then drinks at Blakes house sweet.
