Sat avo now.
Covers were brought out at lunchtime when strong(ish) direct onshore of the morning brought in the rain & flattened the wind. Previous to that thunder & lightening kept all sensible riders onshore as those reckless enough had variably shocking experiences with static arcing from bars to hands & producing audible cracks from board to water as jumps were landed (scary shyte). Subsequent wind drop-out to zilch cancelled all heats for the whole day .
Dunno what the official word is for tomorrow.
Thursday cant remember a whole lot about day 1 . All a bit of a blur . Praps someone may like to fill my gap here.
Friday - cross/cross-off kept judging area busy all day. 00's of kites and a fair swell running. Pretty tough conditions I thought but theres some hotshot kiters here (WOW) who obviously breezed through it with ease. Downwinders to Pambula river mouth were popular. Awesome spot down there - unique, picturesque, blah blah blah - just awesome. A must see stop for anyone passing anytime.

TOP ORGANISATION - full marks to the hosts - no doubting why this event is so highly rated right round Oz & beyond.

pre-party drinks now - then onto pre-pub party - then the pub - Aaaaagh its tough schedule but wot can u do .
PsYlors cookin us up a batch of his famous pumpkin scones (apparently he taught Flo ) & I would just like to say that Paulios Nan has been very much mismaligned on this forum. We are getting on famously. I am finding the incontinence more than easily managed & the jumbled loud ramblings up & down the street is acceptable when theres 2 of us doing it together. Its all good
