I would offer but I wouldn't know the difference between a Skeezer and a switch Crow Mobe

I vote waveslave

thought that was a KPWT event

pkra is not wakestyle.

but i want :)

can you please chnage the dates, i have uni exams, just tell them and im sure pkra will chnage it to suit me

you are right andyy however.... i think you will find he rode powered and kite low how he thinks should be the future in the last event and he lost his heats. after that he had to revert to kitestyle.

yeh no player hatin on aaron but with the comps set out the way they are and with the judging criteria how it is , there will never be any recognition for riding with your kite lower and with more style.

Thats so untrue its just plain silly.

Real power control, board skills, synergy between kiter and kite, and individuality is what brings the cream to the top in all comps, keep it real.

One trick wonders and claiming does not cut it.

who said anything about one trick wonders???

i would rather see someone stomp a back to revert or a front roll with power and style than see some of the other pkra blokes dangle on thier monkey bars. doesnt matter if they have full control of the kite or "synergy" its about whatever looks best and how difficult the manouver is.

"synergy between kiter and kite" wtf! this isn't ballet!

Nope, only KPWT, the other one is the Teri Pacific Cup.

I'm pretty sure Aaron rips in bindings/cable/and has his kite lower than anyone. He's in the PKRA so.......

Andyy is correct (almost).
The event is called "The Teri Kitesurf Pro 2008", and it is not an official round of the 2008 PKRA competition series.
However it probably will be in 2009, the head of the PKRA will be attending and it is the intention of the The Teri Kitesurf Pro 2008 organisers to run a round of the 2009 PKRA series in New Cal.

If Andyy is who I think he is (Andy Yates) then he is an invited rider, so is Ben Wilson, Paul Jackson, Keahi, Cam, Marine, and CJ
There is a strong NZ field of riders too including Jamie Barrow, Dave Edwards, Sue Kay, Torrin Bright, and Marc Jacobs.

Entry is still open to other riders, contact the organisers (via me for now, until I get some more info) for entry conditions.

@siwalker - never said it was, you did though.
If you don't know what is meant by the term, fine, you just keep riding the way you do, and enjoy it. In the end thats what makes the difference, some people ride for themselves and others who are always of inferior skill in my experience ride to be seen - you know who you are!

News to me as i haven't recieved an invite yet?

Would like to know how they pick these invites?

Paul J

No idea, maybe I have let the cat out of the bag Paul?
Your name is in big print on the publicity blurb they sent me along with all the others I mentioned.

I'm sure they will be in touch soon.

Riders wishing to enter, or those that have been mentioned and who have not heard from the organisers should contact Cyril CATTEAU catteau(at)gmail.com replace the (at) with @

Hi all !

I am the organizer of New Caledonian event this year once again and for sure it is NOT A KPWT event. There is no KPWT event scheluded this year be sure of that.

It is not a PKRA event also but an open event with 30.000AU$ of prize money. The best riders of the Pacific and some wild cards will be there from november 1st to 9 : Aaron Hadlow, Gisela Pulido, Seb Garat and more ...

Actually our team (judges, head judge and race director) seems to be completed. We also hope to organize a PKRA for '09. Stay tuned !

Cheers, Cyril.

NB : Sorry for my poor english writing !

NB': Any good riders (male, female, junior) are welcome ! Please come and see our beautiful spot.

Hey if I get permission and can have the time off work, can you please put me in the list 2 please steve..
Ps how do I get an invite to compete, was thinking this would be my last competive year as an open so am going to start doing some training, and give it one last good crack.
Doea anyone think i can make top 5 at nationals this year??

The judging positions has been decided, and a well known oz kiter will be on the judging panel.
Dave contact "bandidos", he is the person in charge of competitors. His name is Cyril as you can see in his message above.
