Always got to have someone spoil our fun, I vote they hold it at woodies so the local folk can get a larger choice of items to steal!

great stuff, counting down the days!

goldy has "modest to nice" constant wind at that time of the year and the beaches and vibe at this destination will spell certain success for the event and kitesurfings profile in oz too!

as wayne said "party on"

Big Air Richo can certainly make an appearance. There will be opportunities for Wild Card spots. If you win a Wild Card then you can mix it up with the Pros and show them what we are made of in Australia.

Bobsan, why not bring the surfboard and impress with cut backs pirate style

It would have to be Narrowneck, but since you have to be an AKSA member to kite there all the pros would have to join or else..... lol

The Coast is the tourist capital of the nation but it's not Kitesurfing City.
It's got the warmth but has it got any super hot kiting venues.
For a big event, you need the killer spot.
You need the flatwater slick...
You need the D>T>L surfbreak for the important stuff....
and you need wind.
Party on.

You want super hot kiting venue, you want a killer spot, you want flat water slick and a D>T>L surfbreak for the important stuff........... just come to Narrowneck, arftificial reef, peeling lefts and rights with sick pits and filthy chicks everywhere its second to none! What do you think all the shiz with the local boys is over, they want to keep it a secret!
Oh I forgot about all the strip clubs just walking distance down the road....
Dam now I told everyone they will run me out of town lol

For sure Rosy...
In fact the event will run over 9 days within a 14 day window.

Make sure you try and get one of the Wild Card Spots!

We are negotiating with accomodation and travel partners now to arrange for cheap flights and accomodation for spectators. We will keep you posted on the deals that are on offer. The event will of course be free to the public. And we hope to put on some events for kitesurfers not on the PKRA Tour, so that you dont get bored on the beach!
