Surprised there isn't comment about this on here yet from today's Townsville bulletin. Or maybee everyone chooses to ignore because of who's behind it?
Cant believe he still has anything to do with kiting after trying to get kiting banned at palleranda out of spite.
Great Idea. should do it. In the loop could organise it better. Just look at how the nationals went.
I guess if Pauly really makes it happen, it could be a positive thing for Townsville and kiteboarding! If he gets the right people around him, it could be well organized.
Even if the man hasn't been on the positive side of kiteboarding in Townsville lately (reference to Channel 9 TV appearence), this could be a good thing for him to show us his support for the sport...?
local paper:
"The event is a dream of Townsville kitesurf instructor and businessman Pauly Goldstein who said he got $18000 in prize money to put up for the event.
Our foreshore is as good as Hawaii but its not being utilized.."
Oh dear-this is another ridiculous approach to promote himself in the local media.
Not too long ago the bloke tried to ban kiteboarding in Townsville using local media and now he wants to organize a kiteboarding event..!?
he couldn't organise a root in a brothel with a fist full of fifties
there will be heaps of events next year in NQ but i dont see him organizing an event because he got no permits, no support in the industry or from the local/regional kiteboarding community.
If it happens we race and take the 10k for 1st place and have a mad party in Alva
I don't mean to be the grumpy old man on seabreeze but holding a kite race in a swimming pool is extremely irresponsible and bound to result in kite bans in other swimming pools in the area which will spoil it for everyone. I suggest you choose a more suitable venue for a kite race.

Its sad that a guy that has nothing to do with the sport and the local kiting community but causing a lot of people big troubles for years is constantly putting stuff to local media to self-promote his agenda.
He should rather stop harassing and threatening people!!!!
Below is the bloke's story on Win News few months ago and now he puts out a bull**** story saying he got 18k price money for a race in his savings account.
Cant wait for him to hand me the $$ for winning this race.
