Big thanks to Best,Catapult,Slingshot, Joe from Adrenilin Rush,Nobile Skim boards.Thanks to all the competitors for turning up to a relatively unknown location,I think that everyone can agree there is now another spot to kite at on the way north.I can confirm that they dont call it blowin bowen for nothing.For those stopping in at bowen try the northern end of queens beach or kings beach at the creek/rose bay end.
it is always hard starting and or organising a new competition in a new location.The support of you the riders for a event in an unknown location was fantastic because without you guys there is no show.Comments from the bowen community have been nothing but positive (WATER FIGHTS ASIDE ROFL
and the downwinder will definately happen (weather permitting of course but locals tell me that was the most rain they have had in 2 years).Never have i seen anyone kiting at 7am in the morning but the wind on saturday morning certainly proves bowens location as a kiting spot.Thanks once again to all the sponsors Best,ARSA,Slingshot,Catapult,Nobile Skimboards and KWALA Skate.And thank-you to eveyone who travelled to the event.Check out Fiona's website www.kitesessions.com.au as she did a power of work over the weekend and took some great photos, thanks fiona.we are now gearing up for a bigger and better Tannum comp over easter 6-9 april 2007.
