Allmost forgot to thank onboard for the demo BOARDS and kites supplied for the event, and Martin from JN Kites for coming down and doing some instructing, hopefully next time the weather will be a little more suitable for the clinic but i think everyone had a lot of fun.


Sounds like tony may need a new clutch in the ute lucky his son is a mechanic, good onya Scotty

Is it just me or would have angling it a bit more down wind would have made it easier to hit?

It was fairly down wind but maby a little more may help we have all summer to work it out, great fun.

Hope the tide is a little lower next time so it is a bit higher.

Not normaly that choppy it was crapy wind and tide, around 2hrs later i was riding flat water on my skim board in 20 kts lots of fun. Will definatly aim it more down wind next time.

The tops were supper slippery being dead flat fibreglass hardly marked the boards but was like walking on ice.

May need to make a super slippery kicker to go with it. some rails maby

With regards to the slider angle, Dre says to have it at the same angle as your kite lines when the kite is low......

I'll be back up at Christmas for another Freestyle Clinic, hopefully the tides will be better. Blake might have a kicker by then too.....
