Running over the Easter weekend from the 2nd to the 4th April, we can promise a great weekend away with a combination of Wavesailing, Kitesurfing and SUP.

Stewie is organizing a taxi to ferry crew from Robe to 3rd ramp on the night so call the store for further details!

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...
Have to be stoked.. 5 days to go to the start of the 2010 Robe Easter Classic..
In this early stages, the weather is looking great for the event, increasing swell and forecast SE winds, with a day temp of 24C and not much chance of rain..
