Shaun from SAKSA gave Windsurfing SA a friendly buzz to ask if we could give everyone the heads up that they will be running the state kiting wave comp at the mid some time during June/july (23rd, 24th and 30th of June, 1st July and 7th, 8th and 14th, 15th of July)
They will post on the forum the thursday prior and was just hoping that the windsurf crew can respect the comp area for the day and they will do the same for any Windsurf SA wave comps.
Cheers

Hmmmm im not so sure thats going to happen after the rip off day they gave us last year
You have to give them some credit, they have a state titles.
Not having a go at are guys for not having one ,
Would love to help out ,but young family and own business It's abit hard
Look at the vic's.they have a windsurfing series,state titles,sandy point Melbourne cup weekend and more.
Yes we do have beachport and robe comp ,but not everyone can travel over those times
The kiters only want one day out of the year for there state titles
For the life of me I can't understand why both groups don't get together and help each other out than bitch about it every year.
Surely both groups could call the same days and peg out the beach for both groups like mambo do. Eg, Windsurfers up wind and kiters down wind. I works well there.
Pool the BBQ, tent extra.
WIN / WIN
The way surfing SA did the SUP state titles was great
Great set up
Good people
Great vibe all day.
Would be great to do the same.people numbers are hard and yes,well all want to go sailing
Hat goes off to surfing SA for a great day
Yeah agree was SUP comp was really well run
A few years ago Craig Wood- well known long time mid coast windsurfer and surfer (who sadly passed away a few summers ago) - suggested we should see if wave sailing could align with surfing SA and come under their umbrella - in hyndsight it may have been a positive move as they have great comp structures (if competition was the path we wanted it to go) Wise thoughts unfortunately not explored to the extent it probably should have been
We co exist down the south east super well and I feel alot safer with HAAK on the same break and have never been tangled up. In summer the kiters could have the morning and windsurfers the afternoon or just have it at nene all day long with both out.
Ps loving it in Bali, having a look at canggu on Sunday, swell has been small until today as it's 3-4' plus. Hope there's a front coming for the long weekend HAAK, missing the kids and poling action
Last time i checked the mid had more then one break???
Don't worry lads, you won't miss your annual leave water time.
If it comes down to it, boggy always has plenty of space.
I apologise if i may be aggravating the situation.
The point I'm trying to get at, is Unfortunately both need to share...
Robe Easter seems to work.
If WINDSURF SA ran a state comp, majority of the kiters would stay away. There is always exceptions unfortunately.
I also understand that the mid is vary rarely "GOOD".
i hope it works for all parties.
good luck
sorry.
Well I keep peeing in the water at my favorite spots to mark my territory but no one seems to care....
unless theyre standing really close....
snicker snicker....
No crappy season here, we've just had the usual winter SE'er 40knot blast. awesome
Opps almost forgot killer swell.
