why the **** must everything be a competition?

only reason i suggested divisions was so it wouldnt be too crowded on the water and the winners arent just picked by a couple people who would only know 1/3 of the people there.

my suggestion would only see people off the water for 40 min + finals and finals should only be 20 min and entertaining anyway.

only reason i said anything was because most people wouldnt see other people kiting unless they are doing impressive stuff, distracting from the anyone can have a go theme.

i definitely think a big circle jerk is the way to go.

carbine scared coz he will get beaten by some grom haha

at the safety bay comp me and the local shop WEST OZ KITEBOARDING they are going to provide a kicker for the comp but it will be hit it at your own will and if anyone gets hurt its there fault but safety bay is going to be sick im trying to get a geni and some sounds system will be SICK and theres going to be so many lollies for prizes will be yummy

The KiteBoy Classic!!

Count me in,

Just to let you know, I'm planning (on behalf of WAKSA) to run a freestyle comp at the Safety Bay Pond early in the new summer season, same sort of idea, open format, rider judged, fun style,

You might need to follow some of Kitecrazy's idea about limiting the number of riders on the water at once. Some sort of heat sytem will be needed i reckon,

Bring it on!!

cheers

Why are you not at school Kite Boy

Based on feedback from a number of people I think that having everyone on the water and trying to get a fair result is not the go. So basically I have had a thought about how to restructure the general format. General consensus is that to encourage everyone to participate a good idea would be to split people up into age divisions which conveiniently roughly split up people up so they are competing with people of equal ability.

I think 3 divisions would suit best
-Junoirs (under 18- not including)
-Opens
-Masters

With women competitors entering in masters maybe?

Depending on numbers then run 20-30 minute heats with all of one division in it (hopefully 10 man heats). Competitors waiting for their heat will be asked to judge and will stay in the same area to collaborate. They will be asked to vote for their personal top 3 riders of the heat and also a 4th vote for an up and comer.

Then the top 3+1 up and comer from each division will have 10 minutes to show their stuff and a final judgment being awarded (ordering the top 3 into 1st, 2nd and 3rd). This last stage is non-essential if the wind drops out the previous heat will be used.

What are your thoughts on this format. Only problem is that when we split the divisions up so much there are so many placings and to give prizes we will need sponsors which takes further organising I will see what I can do. SOS have offered a carton of beer for the winner but it would be good to find something for the junoirs, masters and women too.

can I ride in the masters!!!! Not just because I ride like an old man, but because I want to ride with the chicks!

Forgive me if I'm wrong here, but I've never seen any chick kiters that dont look like men anyway?

Excellent idea and a great spot for comp. People watching can get really close the to action. Also an ideal time to improve the relations between windsurfers and kiters. i.e. let them know and invite them along to have their own comp. Speed trials etc.

And if you are really good, get that bloke to move his yacht a couple hundred metres back.
