South Beach at Dongara......
I can't think of a better spot for that gathering.
Is the wind too strong there ?

Avalon, Mandurah!

Perfect flat water on the inside for the steeze danglers and a long left reefy for the Mitu/Wilson sorts.

Avalon for KS10

Vote now.

Do it.

No way..... If you want to make a light wind testival maybe...
But as there is not much interested locally all the partecipants will have to fly in.
Doesn't sound like a good idea to me!
Bye Jankie

This is disturbing. I woke up today and found myself agreeing with the slave. Am I really awake? Is this a nightmare? Have I gone to the dark side?.......


NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.....................!

wedge island the road will be in by then

hmmm, I see there's a poll on www.waksa.com. Looks like only logged in WAKSA members can vote now though. I suppose that's fair enough, since you have to be a WAKSA member to go to Kitestock.

Burger!

Why is the move on? Hassles with the current location/setup or just a change?

For my 2c I went to KS for the 1st time this year and found the whole set-up to be A1. Particularly the pub/grub and hospitality were superb. Like a well-oiled machine.

I couldn't imagine a Perth venue treating us anywhere near as well to be honest. Hey, I live in Perf and the service etc in this kneck o' the woods is 3rd world!

Obviously Dongara is a bit of a drive but 4 hrs listening to my fav tunes (that's why I took my hatchy - it has the nicest stereo ) tres relaxing.

My only gripe (which plays into the hands of moving it to Perf) would be I didn't get much of an idea about the kites I demo-ed due to the well above average Perf winds. I guess for this reason the retailers would be keen for a move.

Oh well..

Stay in dongers i reckon.
Perfect set up with waves up the road a bit

This place looks wicked...

If it ain't broke......
I can't think of anywhere else that would be better than Dongara/ Denison.
Yes the wind was a bit strong for some people this year (especially for testing kites), but last year the wind was just about perfect and the year before was too light.
I would say on average the winds at that neck of the woods are spot on for the event.
Lancelin would probably be a reasonable alternative, however a lot of us go up there regularly and I think it is good to have it a bit further up the road.

Pete, we know you want it at Avalon.

Don't be shy.

personally wouldnt mind a change.. 3 years all of them excellent but would like to try somewhere new. no idea where though :)

somewhere on the east coast.
