Hey Guys,

WOOOOHOOOO! Very stoked to announce that our grom "Junior" has won the Juniors division at the nats and has taken an awesome 3rd place in the opens In only his second year of kiting

Good onya Junior, aka Mike Bell. He's been in fine form and has represented WA with style. Spoke to him earlier on the phone, he was so stoked but still remained cool and was quite humble about his win.

We're proud of ya mate! Mike was riding the new Vapor 3's and rode his trusty FS.
Sponsored by AKS (Australian Kiteboarding), Airush and Flying Objects (Not necessarily in that order )


'tis a pity Abel was unable to compete due to buggered knee, it would have been interesting to see how he would have placed. I suspect he would have shaken the tree also.

Where else but WAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Enjoy the rest of the event lads, go hard and represent!
