Many thanks to Darren, Drew, Lee, and all the WAKSA committee members, the volunteers, including Vicki & especially Ruby for making KS 2014 a great weekend.

Personal experience tells me it always helps running a kiting event when you have wind, & this year the was good wind across all three days. The Epic Downwinder was once again, EPIC & a personal highlight.

Many thanks to all the sponsors & supporters, including local kiteshops, and big thumbs up for everyone who made it up to Dongara this year. Will post pics later when I've emptied the car of South Beach sand.....

Kitestock is billed as an international event.
Maybe you should just be in the newbie section

Many thanks to the Kitestock crew again for putting on a great event. These are just a selection of a few hundred shots taken over the weekend.

hi kitepower steve - great photos!

a couple of questions if yourself or anyone out there can help:

curious what board the guy strapless punting in photo 8 is on?
what kind of knee brace is that in photo 13, and what structural deficiency is it helping? acl?

bit of a long shot, but thanks for any replies...

shame there wasn't a bit more swell up there for the crew.

cheers

Thanks. Sorry no idea what that board is. The knee brace is a custom CTi, I think it is to help with an ACL injury stabilisation. The guy wearing it is Olly Brunton a kiwi and Ozone/Axis team rider I was travelling with.
