Great vid, thanks to all who put it together, nice shots good tunes = good vibes.

At 1.50 is my wipe out at the finish. I was all the way at the end of the race and managed to pass the SS and then just lost it..........I did try and go fast.

I like the loop at 2.30.

Functionally redundant, but looked great.

The fastest was 24.34, and the last in was 57.04.
The first official female time was 42.28.
The bulk of the crew were between 30-40 minutes.

Damn I have just arrived at work for a nightshift and can't view video so am going to have to wait till tomorrow.

That is fantastic!

I'm so glad that kiters now have an equivalent of the Ledge to Lancelin, I can only imagine the buzz

Hope to see many more

Best kitesurfing video ever. No ego, no flicky spins, no Ben Wilson voiceovers, just a bunch of mad dogs hauling arse across the beautiful ocean. This is something you can show to the guys that sail boats at work and they get a newfound respect for how wonderful this stuff is.

That looks epic and lots of fun.
Almost looked like a kite hit the Helicoptor at 1min 32secs.
Thanks

It was one of the best events I have ever been apart of in all my Nine years kitesurfing. Well done to everyone involved from Tim to WAKSA and to the competitors. What a great video from a great day.
Look forward to next year I'm in training now.
