Sounds like a fun event and all. Too bad 2nd of march colides with the last big festival of the season and I'll be big in japan most of that day

Yeah, it does look like fun. But that soft fluffy Japanese snow will be calling my name also...

Hi Sam....you can just rock up and register on the day or right here. Haven't sorted registration on the WAKSA web site just yet, but maybe we can manage that still.

We have heaps of volunteers and it's going to be real fun. The Steering Committee is meeting tonight to discuss weightings of Land, Launch and Tricks.

It looks like it is almost upon us!!

Anyway if your coming don't forget to bring the following to make the day more comfortable

Chair
Food/drink.....The WAKSA BBQ will be fired up.
Shade.....There will be some shade tents but more is better
Good Humour and a sense of fun

will do bring all of the above .......

G'day Guy's n Gal's

Looks a great event with a nice bit of diversity of skills

I would like to raise a couple of points you may wish to have a look at regarding the nominated course.

Jibe markers 3 & 4 are right dab bang in the middle of the windsurfing area.

Jibe marker 4 is just in front (upwind) of the groyne, you will get some nice rebound chop of this and with the breeze blowing towards that loverly pile of rock you have good potential for disaster once the red mist of racing descends on everyones eyes.

There is a cross over point where people leaving JP4 cross the path of people heading towards JP3, Who's going to give way?


It looks a great event I would just hate to see things go pear shaped


Time to fit my flame suit

I believe the Kitecrossers get extra points for taking-out any randumb poleys.
lol.

Very good points Elmo, we will make course adjustments on the day so that no one has to be angry.

However, there will always be angry unhappy people out there find something to hate and want draw attention to themselves...........like the polies who came racing through the WA State Titles in recent past.

If a course like this could actually also suite polies, then maybe next year we can look in to inviting them to run the course too.

No Slave, you get points for being nice to a polie......poor dying breed.

thanks guys for your messages but first one in to be teammate was dawn patrol....

so i ll go with him

cheers to all

can t wait to feel the breeze of woodies yeahhhhhhhhhhh

Sci Kiteloop session on the river friday ? Saturday?
Leon & Mel...when do we catch up this week end?
Geoff, tobby , hamish wher did you disappear?
Damo are you going to Kite X?

Righto, this actually sounds like fun. Who wants a 110kg partner to drag out of 'Save the Swimmer'? I can do a good imitation of a dead whale.
and you can be the ICR

If anybody is looking for a partner, I am available.

My Stats:
Weight : 88kg
Level: Somewhere between beginner and Intermediate.
Body dragging not a problem.
Tricks: Not many, Jumps, backroll, frontroll.

If anybody keen, let me know?

Cheers

Forecast is scary

Looks like we are ready for a rocken day at Woodies. Thanks to Huey we should be able to have the first run at 11am. All are welcome to join in on the festivities...WAKSA and non-WAKSA....there are many non-WAKSA volunteers whom I thank in advance.

Just a few things:

Choicey> is safety in Bay 1 and sets out course
Youngy> safety in Bay 3.
Launching judges Bay 1> Darren, Daniel, Craig
Landing judges Bay 3> Youngy, PR, Pat
Trick Zone> Dave B. head judge> Woodies crew of 10 will alternate so there are 5 in box always.
Registration BBQ area.

And please, if you are just going to kite at Woodies without entering the "race," then give room to the guys and gals in it. I would also appreciate it if some of our best riders help out with any rescues that need doing.

We've got plenty of food on the WAKSA BBQ which is going to be run by a French chef.

Everyone on best behaviour as always because we have all sorts of functionaries coming for a look. Should be a good crowd today.

Cash prize pool of $20K to top finishers, your dreaming....maybe next year.

Sounds like you're gonna have a wicked day! Wish I could've attended but to in a choice of Chemical Brothers, Sven Väth, Mark Knight or a kitesurfing event the booze always wins Enjoy guys!
