all of the gear in the trailer is open for general use and demo to everyone at the event.

i bags a sup and thruster wave!!!

Day 2

Awesome day today everyone out on rs one setups and sups. Lots of family on the water enjoying the gear and kids out sailing. Big hammerhead and turtles around. Really good mood at this years event. Wind kicked in late. 65 of us hit the pub tonight. Still blowing tonight

Day 3

with 2 light days and a very enjoyable comp the wind had finally come through to add the icing on the cake. We set the barge and opened the course. Competitors blasting on 18 knots across a 3km area. As the ride dropped we opened up the northern run and saw col in the helicopter join us
Col did a fantastic job buzzing the guys on the run with his pilot pulling some banked turns ready for the next chase.
Around 5pm we closed the course and headed in for presentation. BBQ was filled withe steaks, sausages and plenty of red claw.

legends was taken out by Geoff fringe, open by vando, womens by Anne and Kellie, youth by Bradley.

Bradley also won the ka koncept in the lucky draw. A great result!
This year we had a massive prize pool with the biggest sponsor support to date.


I'll be back online fully mid week with a bigger wrap. Thanks to everyone. This years event was memorable for all.

Cheers justin
