Yep, congrats Ian, sounds like it will be a blast.

Also Puppet has been selected. he's apparently scored 2 free kites, and a harness and all expenses paid trip for the downwinder.

congrats to PsYLor as well.

it's all downhill from here.

Can't find the Puppett on the web site yet Reli...they must be working on his profile Who's doing the movie on this one?

He has also scored a board (just the one he wanted), and not 2 kites but THREEEEEEEE....now that is cool.

Other benefits for Puppett include:

Personal kitecady
Three personal assistants


I volunteer for any of those positions, naw...not pretty enough

Thanks Mike - (an others) how awesome is this !!!!!

And in case anyones wondering ??? amazing as it seems - this is really true - not just more of the same old forum-fantasy-foolery BS this time round.
I really have been invited along to the Monkeykite Downwinder !!!!
WHY ME ??? u may well ask - got no idea myself - certainly not my big-boosting skills 'but hey' Im not complaining
praps the council of monkeykite elders believed gruezi's photo in the gallery & figured I am a world-wise kick-rse kiter dropping blind landings in exotic locations all round the globe - DOH
praps they're commitment to making it 'all ages gig' just placed me at the upper extreme of applications - even more DOH
praps they learnt of my dedication to the concept of 'down-wind'. After all I did spend my 1st 5 mths as a kiter practicing nothing else but downwinders B4 even trying any other kite-skills
praps they are looking for a wise, mature, temperate role model to lead Team Monkeykiters on a steady, moderate, straight & narrow pathway. Sort o' like the grand ol silverback of the monkey kite troop - DOH again - hope thats not it or Ill be sent home after the 1st night

WOTEVER - Im stoked - cant stop smiling WOOOooooHOOOOooooo unreal.
ps - the rumoured added freebys are a bit of an uncertain entity at the mo. - but hey who cares - Im going

Rosy,

So you finally got Ash into kiteing? Must have been hanging around with the French boys from the GG....

See you girls on the water!
