$500 to enter, yeah right

? The entry fee is $150 and includes the one way ferry.

At $500 it would still be worth it!

What i have to give my credit card details now? Why?
I should be able to pay when i know i have place not before. Is this just another data mining thing?

I suggest the organizers put the race rules up early.

Ie. when not to cross the line/ green flag.

Give slow learners 3 months to get their act into gear.

Most people I don't believe had a problem, I know I didn't.

But you may have heard that from another townsville local who used a race board with race fins, but most people used surfboard style boards

maybe I am blind but I can't find where to enter? Is there a direct URL?

Im ready!
High tech "Cashies Rocket". $95 including glass and sand paper!



Just hope to get in now.

BTW why no vids of 2011? Seemed to be heaps of film crew there??

cool board brings back some fond memories, I took my lessons on that board in noosa many years ago then move on to airush square one. Ps it wasn't that fast then!

Looks good LouD.

It may only be the 1st of October but it's beginning to feel like summer.
I just registered for this and for the Wedge Wave comp today and it is 33 degrees outside ATM.

I got my hands on a Stonker the same as that just after last years race and tried it against the Stone Surf Design board that I used and I think it was faster, not too sure though so the will be a bit of experimenting to do.

Mind you there is still time to make a custom.........

Yep I click the "Registration" button and go to a page to enter my name etc

something must be wrong, because any time I click on the www.lighthouse2leighton.com.au link it takes me to the 2011 website, then if I click the "registration page" link it just reloads the page... does anyone have a screenshot of the page and link? I know I'm bad with technology but I didn't think I was that bad!

open the link and if you see the 2011 web page "control F5" to refresh

vwpete really ?


read the fine print . It's a virtual deposit and it comes out at a later date . IE IF YOU GET SELECTED

I understand, my point is, i do not want to provide my credit card details before i have been selected. there is no need for it.

Thanks for info - was a bit confused but most of us kiters are air heads and full of wind. Got my entry in & with a bit of luck & hoping I won't stuff up on start again this year. Ahhhhh watch your backs Dale & Marty! [}:)]
