it keeps building! Now in the red arrows on buoyweather!!!

again bring your small kites!!

Chris and the mackay Crew will bring a rail up to Alva!

dont forget your helmets, right Mel?

Hey INTHELOOP crew,

I personally will not be able to make this weekend, still have far to much cleaning up to do after the Rail Jam! This means I will not be able to bring rails etc. If anyone is planning the trip north from Mackay and has a Trailer, we can arrange for Underwave A-frame to come up as it is the best rail for transporting and is easy to setup etc.

Let me know either by pm or call me 0422 430430

Hope you have a blast, cheers Chris

yeah they can, it has about 5 different levels and settings, you may not have seen it on Monday, it had a completely different up ramp and everyone was hitting it no probs!

The boxes etc did not fair that well and would not have made the trip! This rail is purpose built and can handle anything. You can have it 1 foot off the ground if you want right thru to 6-8 foot high and super tech!

It was not used that much as the first day it was setup for pro level and for photos, this was done so everyone hit the easy stuff and learnt before moving and thinking that they had to hit the A-frame first day! It is a super easy build and easy to hit if you set it up to be so!

I have a huge beach clean to do or the council will let their monkey out lol!

12 rails to get off the beach was a huge effort and there is a lot rubbish and debris left behind, sorry man.

ok i will try to talk to few people and see if i can get somebody to get a trailer to bring the A-Frame up.

Yeh Rowdy I hear ya, I missed my flight back the first year I went to Core because I was still helping drag **** up! I seemed to remember we had a 4wd and trailer on the first day, then when we go to take it out no truck and no-one around!

I guess you guys have paid your dues, just a sham those dues were paid at my event lol

yeah! don't want to put me back out haha

no worries bud!

crazy night kiting session by Cairns crew and you kid.
Everybody was laughing hard when first guy went out. big bang, kite hiting the water and dude going:
ohhhhhh **** i lost mee board"

kiteloops into the dark with glow sticks is pretty insane kitekid

That would have to be Dana "The Knightrider" and Josh "The Hoff"! Not the first time those boys have done that.

Sounds like I missed an epic couple of days, real dirty. Can the event be held any other weekend other than Mothers Day? Ouch!

sorry about that ,some mixup in uploading .

We were there, we are still here, we are buggered from 4 days of solid kiting but today was awesome there was no-one there and we had the place to ourselves the seabreeze wind meter is not accurate the wind today was 15-20, it never dropped below 15, we had the tide working with us from about 2pm.
We will be back tomorrow in Sydney and will post some of the 500+ pics we have on memory cards floating around
On of the best local events I've been too, for $30 you could not beat it for value and the atmosphere was so cool and friendly.
+ the wind cranked for all 4 days we were there.
I've never felt so burned and worked from 4 days of kiting and it was some of the most super flat water on the planet.
Big thanks to Marvin, Rachel, Chris W, Joe and Mel, etc, etc, and all the local Townsville and Alva/Maggy crew for making it possible. I know I have missed heaps of peoples names and big thanks to the DJ/Light show crew, and Glen for his fireshow- awesome!!!
