After closer inspection North, Best and Airush arent really Australia based.
They dont do much in Australia at all.

Its hard to find good information when forum pimps fill people full of bollocks all the time.[}:)]

Ozone could be added to almost Australian.
I was chatting to Ozone Mat in a coffee shop down the main street of Gero 2 years ago.
The design team of 2 did a whirl wind tour. No offence to Mat I have known him for years.

thats your counter argument ?- a few posters present some information (the majority of it quite accurate) and you come back with that?

Nice contribution.

What's this about design lofts? Do they work in some sort of attic? I design things too, but generally in an office or the study at home. This loft idea sounds great! Bohemian even. I suppose they'd still have plotters and light tables everywhere though, I wonder if they're interspersed with pot plants, quaint bookshelves and funny coloured lampshades? N8 do you have a loft?


They wear berets, and those cool corduroy jackets with leather scuffs on the elbows, end almost every scentence with "man", and they roll their own smokes too!

Is red wine hip this year, or are we back to white again?

That's a great thing even slingshot is an Australian brand.

Caution, Core and Blade must be Australian too. They have pimps here aswell

Wait! have you seen the movie Lines!

Liquid force are definately Australian. 2 of their riders rode Margret River.
They must have taken a dump in the dunes sometime so that is as good as a passport.

So many

We had a little local Whyalla Vs Pt Lincoln comp over here in summer. Best sponsored a Waroo and Slingshot sponsored a Fuel. The kites were 07 clearance stock but it was great to see the support towards even the tiny, insignificant country bumkins over here.

Also Tumby Bay and Pt Lincoln have some local kite board makers. I'm pretty sure they are called AEO or something like that.
I'm not sure they have a website but the boards ride nicely and are resonably cheap too.

Gees!

By this rationale, with me living in Hawaii for two summers, I must be Hawaiian!

Good winds,

Cheers for coming down and doing some judging Sorse, greatly appreciated by everyone!!

And was that Adrian from F-One that came too?

Cheers again to both of ya for helping out at the comp, and Easto for organising the whole thing. Hopefully this year we will have some better tides and wind.

Saw you out on the Sunday when that front hit. Good height on some of those jumps man!! you ride like a steamtrain smashing through that chop.

Cheers for the Roo Joe!

Hope you can make it this year. Probably best to start preparing your liver for the comp now.

Pt Lincoln may have won the comp, but Whyalla took away the afterparty drinking trophy (2 umbrellas that ended up getting broken on the walk home anyway).

Hope to see you all there this year!
