This year was amazing with more than 80 riders turning up for this year’s event. The wind came in on time for Saturday and just stayed in. Sunday was a little sketchy with wind swinging for southerly to S/E but when it came for the finals the wind stayed in for the main event and turned to be a fantastic display for the spectators sitting on the beach.

A big thanks to all the riders who turned up and made the event the success that it was. Take a bow guys the show that you guys put on was amazing to watch. To All our fantastic sponsors a big thanks for your support. A big thanks to the kiting sponsors ( in Alphabetical order), Best, Catapult, Four way fin systems, Nobile/ Shinn, Slingshot,Zero Gravity, thanks heaps guys your support is appreciated. If this event is any indication next year will be even bigger and better again.Hope to see all of you in Bowen in September.

Thanks Justin for a great event, 4 of our team riders entered the event and 2 got into the top 10. Though they were not good enough to win yet but everyone of them enjoyed the event thoroughly. Well done and keep up the good work mate.
