Seems a little suspicious that the winning cell just happens to be the most popular. The whole thing smells of a marketing ruse.

So I'm not the only one

Was thinking they would have had to have seen the original to get that close by that many people.

the image was on the website for cocos . not rocket science . So many people butthurt over a free competition . It's like you retards paid money to enter the comp or something

Kitesurfing was the real winner...

let it go already. you're just not happy unless you have something to whinge about mark.
and claiming that you're not having a sook when it's obvious you are just multiplies the whinge factor.

But it was open to all and kitesurfers are more likely to look at the sponsors site than fisho's, surfers, windsurfers blah blah. Or more likely to have seen the pic when browsing before the comp started.
You don't see the real unedited pic availabale in a soccer "spot the ball" comp do you?

Nothing to do with whinging, it is a discussion based on principle of the thing. "Retards" is a bit harsh.


BUT Triggerhappy - have you been under a rock? This discussion was done to death in about 3 threads when the result was announced

Oh i was away and search didn't show anything. I am a Euro so I am not eligible even though i had a go, just found the observations curious.

Marketing ruse, there's every chance it was, I mean why would Zephyr bother to sponsor the comp and presumably donate or heavily discount the prizes if it didn't want to generate additional traffic through their website?

Maybe there was a stuff up with the same or similar photo (can't remember which it was) on the Zephyr website but I don't think the same mistake will be made again.

It sounds like a great place to kite, I've got mates going in 6 weeks, can't wait to hear how they go.

Not everyone on SB is a whinger, free comp, who cares!
Keep the comps comin Laurie, good work!

Hello....

From recollection, (happy to be corrected??) it was a "COMPETITION"....

Similarly, I purchased a Lotto ticket last week but didn't win in that "COMPETITION" either. I didn't ring Lotteries House to complain about that...I took a chance & didn't win.

I might buy another ticket next week, or I might enter in the next Seabreeze "COMPETITION" next year (or when Zephyr run it again)....

FFS people, wake up. Some lucky guy won the "COMPETITION"....maybe if you try again next time, it might be you....in the mean time, a teaspoon of cement on your cereal.

How about next comp go's to the winner of Best Trolls on Seabreeze

G'day all,

^^^^ I'm one of those lucky bastards too, and I can tell you it def wasn't rigged if I won it (Lizard Island Trip, increadible trip btw). I'm usually one of those "I never win anything" type of guys, infact every one else around me knew about it before I did. Not until I was on a plane on my way did I believe it!

Keep em coming Laurie. Why don't you do smaller comps and give away small stuff, for the fun of it.

cheers,

Robbie

ps What happens if past comp winners win again? I'm hoping you don't throw our guesses aside and we still have a chance !
