Hi guys we are planning a ride day with Seqka up here in Noosa on the 30th November at Castaways Beach. We were thinking of trying some coarse racing and were looking for some feedback from anyone who has hosted coarse racing before. Also any other suggestions for what we might include on the day, let us know. Freestyle, downwinder etc. Event will be posted shortly, but would be great to taylor the event to suit demand. Should be a great day, keep and eye out for the notice.

Have Fun
George!

Hey George

Course racing is an "interesting" event to host.

We ran one last year and learned from the experience.

Limit the contestants in each heat to about three of four as tangles evenuate at the first turn due to a rush of blood to the head and poor kite positioning.

A relay event from the beach, around a marker buoy and back to tag the next rider is a fun event. Make it mandatory to include at least one female rider to include the girls.

An "upwinder" will keep the contestants in view of the beach and test skills as well.

See you there.

Thanks Fitzy
All good info, got any spare girls! If we have a mandatory girl to each team the girls are gonna be run ragged, me included (Fiona) and I am still shocking in the surf. Sent out the call for all ladies to help out on the day, I know you have some on the Goldie.

Have Fun!

Hi Fi

Some of the Goldie Girls should be making the trek.

The club owns several marker buoys and a floating PVA log to jump over, all with associated anchors. We also have a few erectable sun shelter/gazebos.

Let us know if you want us to bring them along.

Hi all, yes we have all the buoys and obstacles to hold a boarder-cross event. Also like the idea of a downwinder.......MMMmmmmm too many choices and I don't want to jinx the wind thing again

Already have 6 names of riders who have put their names down for the events that day. Pls p.m me if you consider entering in the day.

Thanks

Hi guys, For anyone who is not familiar with the area, here is a google link to the location.

www.google.com.au:443/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode&q=Castaways+Beach+&sll=-25.335448,135.745076&sspn=36.765054,56.25&ie=UTF8&ll=-26.422466,153.105726&spn=0.034205,0.054932&z=14

If this link doesn't work click on our sponsored link to the left and you can check it out online.

As Paulio said, don't forget to register interest for the events, that way we can finalise the plans to suit numbers.

Hey, the DI trip sounds fantastic Phil, just really struggling to find anyone wanting to drive the 4WD's and give up the kiting, are you offering, ha ha. Maybe if we relay it? Option for next time hey.

Looks all set for this Sunday, weather permitting. We will send out an SMS Friday morning confirming once we get a reliable weather report.

Any questions, give us a call

The guys from SEQKA are bringing up some gear for coarse racing, so come down and give it a go.

CU There, have Fun!

ok, the only words coming to my mind for DI are 'dirty incident'. I am sure that is not what you mean, so what is DI?

Due too lack of wind in this frustrating sport,we have to postpone the day.

We will have a back up day,but in the new year tho. Hope everyone gets out over this weekend.

Good winds to all and stay safe.
