The Lighthouse to Leighton returns in 2013 with once again spaces for 110 competitors to vie for the title, the trophy, the $1500 first prize and the bragging rights to say they won!

Race Day is Saturday 14th December with a scheduled start: 14:30hrs from Phillip Point, Rottnest Island. A reserve day of Sunday 15th is also booked if * no to low wind * is forecast for the 14th.

This year's race will be part of the kite boarding festival that is the: 2013 Kiteracing Oceanic Championships. See: kiteoceanics.com/ so expect the competition to be even hotter than before!

As well, Alex Caizergues, the inaugural winner and record holder of 24m:34s has confirmed and booked his flights to be on the start line!

In memory of Marc Sprod, we are initiating and awarding a new perpetual trophy to the highest placed Western Australian.

For improved results in 2013 we will be using TracTrac (see: www.tractrac.com/) to enhance the race results and tracking - this is super exciting, genuine real time race analysis!

Invitations are out to kite boarders from around the world to enter during the nomination period, 01 October 2012 to 31 October. The ballot for places will take place at Kite Addiction at 6pm on Monday 4th November, 2012.

Register at www.lighthouse2leighton.com.au - with 31 days to enter, so no rush!

Hi Picker et al, After three super superb years Red Bull will not be naming rights sponsors this year. The Red Bull support in 2010, 2011 and 2012 was tremendous!

This year the L2L will be closely linked in with the 2013 Kiteracing Oceanic Championships - making for a no doubt even higher profile race. Roll on race day!

Just signed up! Did the Ledge to Lancelin "Marathon" last year. A drag race from Rotto sounds like a lot of fun!!

Just need a ticket now

Anytime your name is drawn AFTER mine is OK by me

And a sneak preview of the 2013 race lycras, Mr J Keys winner of 2012 will seek to defend his title in the much sought, Yellow Lycra, everyone else will be in blue or purple. Fingers crossed for more breezes for training, ... so who is using a foil?!

Awesome I am in.

I got my conformation email today but the process was still super confusing! Anyway this will be my first L2L and I am thinking my thruster surfboard might now be up for the task. Anyone like to talk kit?

Yewww scored a spot.
Fyi it was in my junk folder .
Time to get training. Will prob be riding my surfboard aswell.
Will try out a sector or similar but bit to time strict to get the hang of a race board haha

I thought there was 24 places for girls?

I might be wrong,

But if thats the case, I say well done.

More girls the better.

always only been 10 girls last 2 years

im pretty confused as to why there where thly 6 available spots for females

The reason might be because some of the WACK girls already got free entry and sponsorship. Can't have a free ride and affirmative action at the same time!

Can't WACK join the ballot like everyone else?
