Hi all, I just signed up for the Ledge to Lancelin Kite downwind race on the 11th Jan coming up soon. Just wanting to know about what type of PFD is required - or does any PFD comply? Also any info on type of flares required?

I know its generally a sail board event but I remember doing it years back when the sail board dudes let us chase them down the coast, It was heaps fun. I hope we get lots of kite entries this year to help make the kite race group competitive.

See everyone on the start line. Try and catch me

Cheers Weta, I am onto it. Gotta check my PFD see if ts its a class 1 or 2, I'm not sure as its a wake board model.

How many kite racers were in it last year? What is the time to beat? If I remember last time I raced my time was about 35-40 mins. I'm running much faster kite and board now though.

Also is it just out to sea round a turn mark, then down the coast around a turn mark and into the finish. Or do they run a giant slalom style course?

See you on the water
