The Across the Bay to Conquer Cancer is planned for this Saturday. 25 kiters will attempt the 90km journey from Rye to Port Melbourne.

You can find out more about the event - and get the link to donate to a worthy cause here: www.facebook.com/pages/Across-the-Bay-to-Conquer-Cancer/418371941550110?fref=ts

We will be carrying EPIRBS, SPOTs and have PFDs. There will be support boats too.

Here are some photos of the 66km training run we did last weekend.







We are looking for a few kiters to go on the boats, and a couple more boats are welcome too.
