sweet i will be there to help setup should be good winds i might even try it on a twinny

Hi Guys,

Todays racing was definately the best yet. We raced a figure 8 course with a shorter upwind leg and lots of close reaching. Sick! 7 racers turned up to test their skills in lighter winds 15-19 knots.

Heaps more fun when you're not about to die on every downwind run. Each time we race we get better and better at running this sort of event so I look forward to bringing the racing to the river in the new year.

If you're interested in racing, keep an eye on the forum as we will announce dates when we start up again.

Sensational, full speed, powered racing and now some crew are getting big kites and race boards, no doubt the racing will get more and more full on. Come and join in the fun!

See you's in the new year and thanks for all the support thus far, it's been quite the learning curve LOL.

Cheers,

KH

Hi Dazz,

would love to have made it today but juggling the squids got to much.

I know Rocko is along way, as Pinaroo is from this end of the Earth. But shoalwater would be a seriously good spot to race, maybe one weekend some committed crew will make the journey down. There would be a healthy show of locals I reckon, maybe something to think about once your manager is up and running with his license. A one off, well planned annual thing. Happy to help and I'm sure Jason from west oz will get behind it with support.

Bummer - just back from overseas & was hoping it might be on today :-(

When is the next race Darren?

I finally got my car back so I can actually get my kite gear down the beach again :-)

Stolen jetski still no show :-( Can't afford a new one right now so I'm still out of action teaching :-(

Were you covered with insurance? If not thats a real bummer

And can any of the kite shops in Melbourne start doing this, i really feel like im missing out. This would be great fun

bugger, hope it turns up then somewhere

The good news is that Ed has his truck license now, so I am free to setup the race at any location I see fit

Hell yeah, a racing roadshow. I'd be keen but can't make it up that far on a work day. Hopefully you get a chance to come down to woodies or safety bay one day...

notice how today (wednesday) was an absolute howler again, I never though I would see the day that the organization of a wind driven event is jinxed to always having copious amount of wind. Murphy's Law had dropped the ball on this one thankfully

Hi Ian,

Sorry mate, gonna do it next week and it will be on the river. Maybe some input from others to decide the better day. I don't want to clash with the windsurfing crew who also race on the river Wednesdays.

Was thinkin maybe Thursday? Input anyone?

Cheers,

KH

yep yep yep, ready an waiting by river are you thinking melville? Thursday is good from memory, could get there for 5:15 and help set up if needed.

Maybe start a new thread?
