I will post up spme pics soon, but what an awesome weekend, great wind for friday and some of Saturday as well as great surf to play around in,
Some amazing sailing by both windsurfers and kiters, 112 competitors, great support form Onboard, Red Bull, Neil Pride, Cabrinha (why am i saying this I am not sponsored!) seriously fun weekend, if you didnt have a good time there was something wrong!
Susie took some great photos, if you competed and want some photos of yourself sailing Susie will have one of you, email her to get a copy!
One point I wanted to make was the responsibility everyone took in the water. there were lots of people in the water especially Friday, maybe 12-14 windsurfers and 20-30 kiters on one break, I have to thank every one for keeping the peace when it came to collisions (which I only saw one!) It was good to see everyone looking out for each other.
Yeah the weekend was awesome. I had no problems with any kitesurfers even though everyone was all in there together and the surf was a good size. (In fact one of the girl kiters stopped to see if I was ok when I was stuck out the back for a bit with no wind and no uphaul which I really appreciated) Thanks to Pete and the guys at Onboard and Coopers and Redbull, JP, Neil Pryde etc for a fantastic weekend. Listening to the music whilst out sailing was fantastic. It was great sailing with Kim and Penny, we all egged each other on cos the conditions were a little daunting with the big swell and lightish winds but we all had so much fun when we got out there. I had the best time of my life sailing. Re the photos, well I have a few of the windsurfers but HEAPS of kiting ones, cos I was sailing when the windsurfers were out there. So if I post the kiting ones I will be batting for the wrong team (?). But wow I really got some beauties of them.
