The 2011 Onboard Robe Easter Classic is on again! Running over the Easter weekend from the 22nd to the25th April, we can promise a great weekend away with a combination of Wavesailing, Kitesurfing and SUPing. The event format is a simple 4 day expression session with an emphasis on waveriding and just having a good time. SUP waveriding heats and Downwind race planned. Also a social paddle for the ladies on Sunday morn, a wine ta...sting tour and a sports specific stretch sess to unwind.

Riders of all standards are encouraged to take part!! Sponsored by Onboard, Coopers, Redbull, Neilpryde, Cabrinha, Fanatic, North, Slingshot and the local guys at the Robe Bakery, Robe Butcher shop and the Robe Hotel! Apart from the riding, the traditional Friday Night Party at 3rd Ramp promises to be a big one with, Free Coopers and Redbull for all participants!!! Stewie is organizing a taxi to ferry crew from Robe to 3rd ramp on the night so call the store for further details!

Entry this year is $50.00, including a Coopers Showbag, Free Coopers and Redbull, BBQ lunch and the 2011 Robe Easter Classic Hoodie!!! Signing up is from the 10th of March. To ensure that you get your size and colour hoodie you want, I recommmend gettng into Onboard soon after that date. We also recommend booking your accommodation ASAP – Robe entirely books out for Easter!

Maybe Anthony could shed some light on this or are you just taking the piss HAAK?

There is some talk of it here, personally I think it will cause more problems than do good...

Yeah i have heard it too... But whats $5, its less than a red cruiser or a beer..

Cant wait, easter is always an epic weekend, and this year there is one more day to recover before heading back to work. That equals more stewballs crazness..

Me, take the piss, its not in my nature

To help pay for the weekend I bought a Robe football jumper today.
I reckon I'll set up at the start of the dirt road to 3rd ramp and charge $5. Might get enough for a couple of slabs[}:)]

If it makes things easier for you come and see me, I give you 5

Ah, yes and no, council are pushing for it, think we should be able to get around it, as I cant see them implimenting it before next month!

If it becomes too much of an issue, we can all ride at stonies beach, I've been hitting that heaps lately and due to current weather conditions, its been going off, clean wind, solid swell lines, water is still freezing but you get the picture!

If crew are looking for somewhere to throw a tent, Ive still got a heaps of space on a near vacant block, has power but thats it! feel free to pitch a tent on that if ya get stuck-

Luke, Head out Kingston road for approx 6 k's and turn left down white metal road.

Noticed you have a crazy fly for sale. Was that you at Torquay a couple of weeks ago and towed an old guys kite back in?

If you are passing through Mt Gambier prior to Friday, Port McDonnell / Nene Valley will be going off. Should be double over head if swell forecast is right.

Beer is in the fridge getting cold, wetsuits (all 3) are drying, ready to wear, Easter eggs are brought (and eaten)

So what is there to do but wait, until the epicnest begins..
