Hi guys,

Are there any kiters interested in racing for the fun in Sydney?

Heard in September 08 that NSWKA was working on organising such project with one of Botany Bay's sailing clubs, but as I didn't see any further news since then, I was wondering if they had found ressources to allocate on that front. If there is anything being organised, could anyone please let us know?

I believe that at Botany Bay we have a fantastic playground with quite e few options to do long distance races on uncroweded areas with both choppy and flatwater zones... (and wind!!) For example Dolls Point to Towra/Kurnell, or Dolls to Hollywood with long upwind followed by a strait downwind... could be fun to see what gear and riders perform best in each different situation, and on "long" distance.

If nothing is planned, would there be any kiters interested in getting together and try that? If we don't have marker buoys and marshals, I guess it's going to be a bit difficult but we could always give it a try for the fun and see (for example we could do the start roughly together from just downwind of Dolls green fixed buoy, and the goal would be to be the first to touch the dry sand of the sandbank at the westerned end of Kurnell)... if we can get 10-15 kiters I think it could be good fun!

cheers
Jacques
PS. the idea is definatly not to do a strait downwinder!
