Yep,
A big thankyou goes out to Ian Young who came up and assisted with the setting out of the priority buoy's and advising on the event. His knowlege of events is greatly appreciated.

I was also surprised that he didn't feature in the winners list as his light wind foils certainly made him a clear winner in his heats!.

All results will be released by WAKSA and rankings for the Nationals.

Thanks all to the competitors who were excellent ambassadors for the sport over the weekend. Enquiries from local kids for lessons will flow on from all the "cool" comments made by them. There were also a lot of local businesses involved behind the scenes that usually don't have anything to do with watersports. Geraldton is now well and truly a kite friendly community.

Great call GreenPat!

Gav.... Top job mate... shame about the wind, but what can you do about that!? It was pretty clear that if it had've been on, everything would have gone real smooth, so it's a huge credit to you and everyone else involved.

Can't wait for the nationals in January!

Deano

yeah great job gav, many thanks as it turned out to be an excellent weekend despite the wind. many thanks to all the sponsors too.
punchy

Huge effort on Gavin's behalf,thanks to all the sponsers, Geraldton sea resue cadets,you have all done an excellent job.

Cheers,
Dale

didnt quite see it but from wot i heard it was close to a record. well done dale on the win and thanks too gav. no luck on the wind but organised very well. one thing i see wrong with the lay out of 3 man heats is only having one man go through. not exactly the fairest of layouts. one suggestion 20 min heats[ instead of 15mins] and 4 man 2 go through. double elim. get through more heats as less time wasted between heats if u understand. also jake was ripping if u were there u would have seen the smoothest back mobe of the little kicker wave in the judging box definately best trick all weekend.

wicked comp! thanks to Gav and his crew and everyone that was involved in organising it. well done it was a great weekend and i cant waight to get back to gero for the next comp.

i am looking for anyone that had a camerea on the beach on sat and might have cought me getting lofted in that huge gust that came through. i have seen a bit of footage but nothing from take off to landing. so if you could help i would be greatfull.


see you on the water

I'm sure we have footage of it somewhere up here. I'll see what Clark Galloway has.

Got the jump on film boys I'll copy it and give it to ya Damo. 13seconds of hang time on my timeline not including the initial jump when you left the water, an easy 2 seconds of footage is missing.
