1130pm night shift.... and im thinking, im kind a glad i missed KS this year, or am I !
any word peeps has there been any wind at all !!

What a good call to stay home

The $1500 I would have blown can be used for some new gear!!!!

I do feel sorry for the organisers - 2 years in a row ------

I would be reassessing the venue and time of year


This was taken during all the action yesterday

obviously we could just blame that Cyclone on the N/W coming down....

****BUT the question is*****

Why is there no back up plan for a Windless event between all these great organisers to buggerise everyone (apart from the 250) and leave them with a big smile on their face at party time

I'll give yas an allday clue below



Oops sorry - a few W.A sandgropers jumped my shot



and then

GPA Seaview indicates that it is currently blowing Southerly at 30 knots. Should be enough to get a kite in the air. Oh, did I mention the swell is 2 meters and building? For those with a kite small enough, today (and tomorrow) may well make up for this season's misery. Meanwhile, with a 5 and 6m kite in lying idle in the garage, I have mowing the lawn to look forward to.

we scored a great session on the way back from KS (which almost made up for the fark'n 130km detour due to bushfires south of Dongara!)...wedge was pumping!!

Pity about the wind but still had fun with the SUP's.

Good call for the WAKSA guys to bring in the SUPs this year, welldone. I think the SUP market has just trippled in WA. I was not bored once especially with the female SUP acrobatic team.

Welldone Juddy and the WAKSA crew, the nights enternainment was good and social and you could not fault the organization of the event.

The guys have been a bit harsh on Juddy (myself included) but like Phil said you have been the best so far and have done so much in keeping kiting open at a lot of places - and that is more worthwhile and valuable than any event (with or without wind).

Gud on ya Juddy!

Cheers
Rich

Despite the lack of wind, I had a wicked time hanging out on the beach SUPing and also kinda learnt how to surf

Great company, well organised and awesome tunes on Saturday night

Alot of my mates didn't come up this year as it was a four day event (extra dollars) and clashed with Australia day weekend.

My two cents, have a three day event, with the option to buy two or three day ticket for food and don't combine with Australia Day.

Hard to predict the wind but if you pack the ute and trailer with kites, sups, surf boards, snorkeling gear and cold beers you gunna have a good time one way

Cheers to all the guys and girls that organised and a big thanks to Leon for providing fun and games with the MC ing... I am biased off course

Port Denison arvo on the day kitestock finished was not too bad. The wind kicked in late after blowing SE horribly 'on and off' all morning. I was comfortable on a 7.5 for a couple of hours of fun, choppy small swell conditions. The wind switched back SE again too early really and 'that was that....'

First time back after 4 years , no wind but great time , all off the knockers regarding wind need to look at the weather patern regarding cyclone iggy and realize it is what it is,time well done to the organizers . plenty of partying done by all.

glad you all went to wedge, meanwhile a few in the know scored well over head heigh with a touch of SE just after morning tea

A touch of SE hey, so still gusty as?
We had far enough to drive home due to the fire without heading North first.
