not sure why the red thumbs? would be stocked to go anywhere for next years nationals, was alot of effort put into this years one and it was a shame the wind didnt turn up. Not sure what you mean by floating format though? And i wouldnt combine the waves, as i believe the waves normally has its own event and you would have to move around the event unless you hold it in the waves.

noted. as i said its only in the planing.

Our experience at this years nationals was that Kite Racing is a very different styled event and would be best run separately, preferrably together with a local sailing club.

Would love the events to be in Melbourne.

No should be in the west coast as it has been on the east coat the past 3years

how about sydney harbour

Sail Sydney is on after sail Melbourne in December and will apparently also have kiting (yes they will have all the correct permissions)

i would prefer the nationals to be held in a place that is more easily accessable and could attract more spectators to help increase sponsorship for the riders.

it would be nice to have it held at a different spot each year as well so riders get to travel to different spots and meet different people :)

I think just about anyone that was at the nationals will also be at the sail Melbourne event so cant really have a Nationals race event at the same time.

It might be a big ask for most to travel to another kite nationals (race) in the month or so prior to the first week in December?


Man I cant wait for December to roll around given the point of having race gear is to actually have a race and we will all be done to death talking about it and we will all just wanna race

With sail Melbourne open to anybody who rocks up I reckon the fleet could be double what was at the Nationals with ozi's that have bought race gear over winter, plus international riders that may decide to come down here for what will be the first official ISAF world cup that will have kite racing we may see some big names, its gunna be interesting the next time we all meet
