Hi guys and girls,

I've finally had some time to get some things done and have made the first of the marker bouys for the slalom racing. I'll have the other 4 finished by the end of next week.

I figure the best place to have the first race will be off Leighton Beach. It's wide and sandy and allows plenty of room to spread out and is centrally located between the North, the South and the River.

I was thinking the 9th of December would be ideal at around 2pm, and now need to call for registration of riders interested in the series or even individual races. Racing will be subject to good wind speed. The stronger the better

Next race will be in the river and will be a course race and a slalom to make things more interesting. Then next race to be at Pinnaroo Point. Additional events will be run if we get the interest.

If you are keen to give it a run, just register on this thread and send me an email to info@kiteboardingschool.com.au with your name and phone number.

I hope to get a bunch of keen speed freaks together and run a regular thing.

Good winds,

will there be a handy capping system as not every grom can afford a REV [not pimping, just first the first really good upwind kite i thought of].

sounds fun though

Put me down for it.

I'm happy to race even if it's lightwind - upwind too

Dale - come on mate - this is your chance to meet the challenge I put to you last year

Curse doonas and all the upwind they stand for . Youngy do you want to let me 'demo' a doona on Friday? If the wind's as borderline as it looks I'm going to be the first fatarse left at the line.

Daren, any chance of a coure map/ sketch?

easy just sabotage his lines... all 100 of them.

Hi Airhead,

Thanks for the input. We'll definately set the start finish to be the least intrusive of other beach users. The whole course is subject to modification to best suit conditions and environment on the day.

We are hoping to use as little beach as possible, thats why the start line will be out on the water.

Thanks again and wish us good wind,

yes yes yep ill be there

Hello and thanks to everyone who has expressed interest in the first ever West Australian Slalom race series. It looks as though the gods may be in favour of our event and have provided us with a forecast fit for racing! The BOM has forecast Southerly winds of 20-30 knots in the afternoon which should see everyone nicely powered

We will abandon racing if the wind speed starts nudging 30 knots. Sign on and briefing will be on the beach at 2pm and racing will begin at 2.30pm. You are entering an "enter at own risk" fun event so please be prepared and manage your safety with forethought. We request you be a current member of WAKSA or AKSA and wear a PFD or impact vest, however, this decision is up to you.

We are running these events out of our own pockets and they are free to enter, however if you wish to see more of these events, we would gladly accept any donations to help in covering the costs of putting it all on.

This is a fun event, there is little to win apart from bragging rights so please do not put winning above safety. I am sure there will be some spirited competition amongst the speedy, so I urge you all to race as Gentlemen or ladies and be sporting.

Full racing rules will be given out tomorrow at the beach prior to the briefing.

Good winds and thanks again to everyone for their support, see you at the beach. If you wish to speak to me before the event, please call me on the number below.

PS, If the forecast changes, I will notify competitors of any cancellation here on Seabreeze by 9am.

Damn I have to work a 12hr shift so wont be able to make this one, it's a shame coz I do own the worlds fastest kite

Hey Kitecrazy, I can loan you a board for the day if you wish to enter .... and it's fast!

No excuses for not winning then eh?
