Thanks to EVERYONE who was involved in today's race: participants; volunteers; the freestyle boys who came down to entertain us; friends, family, Red Bull crew; safety boats; sponsors - Red Bull; Cabrinha; YJS; Dreamboats; Rottnest Express...If I've missed anyone, I'm sorry but thank you.

I need a beer & look forward to post race discussions in half an hour.

Will post photos on WAKSA Facebook page asap depending on how many beers I get in tonight....[}:)]

After an unfortunate delay due to poor weather, WAKSA and the event convener Tim Turner are very pleased to announce that the 2011 Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Kite Surf Race will be held this Sunday, 18th December 2011.

Participating kiters will have received an email in the past hour confirming their place in the event and event details.

Whilst Alex Caizergues and Rob Douglas won't be competing, this means that L2L 2011 will most likely be won by a local kiter - so who will be the first kiter home this year - a West Aussie or someone from over east????

With a steady winds forecast, it's looking like it will be a sensational race on Sunday.

Come on down to Leighton beach from 1.00pm for entertainment and to cheer local kiters home. The race will begin at 2.00pm - what time will the first kiter get back to Leighton - will it be another 24 minute crossing this year???
