I believe you have to formally enter. You should be able to download an entry form from AKSA (not sure if they're available yet) or get one from your local kiteshop.

Depending on the wind direction on the day, they either start at Stumer's Creek or Sunshine Beach.

Hey Dustin

I'll pick you up for a down winder next time we go. There aint going to be any wind this weekend though. Maybe next weekend?

I had a great little down winder on my own yesterday arvo at about 4pm from Mudjimba to Surfair. Was trying to stay upwind but ended up having to walk back. I always lose ground in the surf.

Cheers
Nick

Hey Sunseeker,

Am I invited, or is flailing about in the soup not acceptable?

Time to dust off the kite and hit the sea.

See you for a breakast bastard in the morning.

Hey Skullpilot, or should I say Sloblock? I'll only pick you up if you pump up my kite for me...and you're not allowed to use an electric pump.

See you tomorrow
