Blo dy Hell !! Great (don't drop any wrappers on the way)

Tell us more -
RU thinking of going soon (We have just finished winter!!)
What is the likely distance?
(Google earth Wilson's prom to Bridport 220kms looked shortish!!!)

What speed is the plan geared to?

What support boat ? (you could be holding 20-30 knots!!)
What sort of break cycle are you going to use?
Are you carrying much on you?
What size kites v's wind?
Give us a run through of training to be up to a gig like this.
RU going to be able to record enough of it to make a review? If so what kit RU using ...

The questions go on... If U have the time love to know more...
Anyway sounds fantastic may the swell/wind/and forecast (basically Yoda's energy bar) be with U

WOW . UNREAL CRAZY . I guess they'ed have support boats ????

ha ha - hi Ian - not as old as you buddy! beat you're spending more time on the water than ever!
I'm not doing the crossing, just managing the TV production of it.

Sorry guys can't answer all your questions, except to let you know to watch your sports news on Wednesday

just heard on the radio that they're leaving today... trust i heard something correct

what time did you hear that

was that to travell there or have they set off from taz on the epic journey sorry i'm just hell keen to find out where they might land so i can head there to greet them.......

just read the update on abc radio pretty sure they have just left to go to stanley but will be looking at heading off one day this week..

probably Wednesday looking at the forecast? Who knows its' all mysterious

Should be a 3-4m swell running with 20-30+ SW.

Dunno how the rescue boat will keep up. They will probably do 250km in a straight line and around 100km up and down the swell!!

Good luck you mad men!

Perhaps they'll bring out a Red Bull Snickers Mega Lunch Bar to celebrate?

just heard the boy's are leaving early wednesday morning might be cool to get a welcoming commity together anyone keen?

Just read an update on The Mercury...

"TWO adventurers looking to become the first to kite-surf across Bass Strait are almost halfway to King Island.

Ben Morrison-Jack and James Weight, from Victoria, left Cape Grim at 7am.

A report from the support boat accompanying the attempt says the pair are tracking well and are in high spirits.

The latest estimate is that the pair will land at Apollo Bay at 7pm tonight.

Wind conditions have impacted on their goal to make the crossing in 10 hours."

just heard the boy's are in the area of king island and they are est to land at apollo bay about seven o clock tonight

The news feed is coming from a sailing crowd so look under NEWS tab and sailing for info'

Apart from it being winter - would love to do a little pacing

Googled this path -- wow some downwinder!! They have to cover a decent distance.
Look forward to Great outcome - hopefully the support boat can exocet any blind shipping container boats - aka the disaster to the young lady just starting her gig to sail around the world

I had a Snickers earlier because of this sponsorship - Nice
BOL

Why isn't this bigger news right now?

This is the only place I've seen anything about it! Surely it deserves a few seconds on the news!?

nope, heaps of people have crossed the strait before, why would it be big news?

Yep, and heaps of people have sailed around the world, it is still interesting to joe blow and his wife and 2.5 ankle weights.
