........sure to get a kiters blood flowing.

only if your one of the clicky crew
it was a "RACE"
rumour has it its on again perhaps for the racers this year

forgive me, did'nt the guy out front cruize to victory.
look, my point is its supposed to be a race not a sunday jolly-up, perhaps if that is what the powers that be want they should make it a charity event like the city to surf

Not a bad idea really.
Good PR for kiters.

how long did it take to finish?

Between about 24 minutes for first and about 48 min I think for last

Yes a very good idea to gain alternative sponsorship, raise the profile bar, higher than any Naish bar throw could ever go

The top finishers would still relish their achievments regardless of what its called....

Maybe have different age brackets so people could still be competing whether first or 50th - share the love

Sorry to hijack topic but I've always been keen on organizing a downwinder for charity on the east coast. I don't have lots of cash but really like the idea of raising money for my favorite charities and like it or not people think kiting is 'cool' and I reckon we'd get heaps of donations and local media coverage if it was kind of epic, like 100kms. My favorite charities are Breast Cancer (McGrath Foundation, for their work providing breast cancer nurses for post treatment support) and the Mens Shed movement.

Mike Walker coined the name 'Kitesurfers for Boobs' but we might work on that! Ayone else keen to be a part of it? Maybe this summer coming.

Spreader this was just a post about some photos about an awesome event lets just let at that!!!
