How about a wet T shirt contest to go with the beer at the end of the day!
Im sure all the guys would be into that. ;)

Who said it had to be girls that were in the wet t shirt contest.
Im quite happy to have a go with the girls im sure they would love my 6pack er ........(beer gut)!!!!

By the way the old lady has now gone blind the old man was blind anyway.

Please dont let anyone else see that!

i'd be interested... but still gotta convince better half it's a good idea. What's the latest on the airport situation?

did you need someone to follow on a jetski? i work at boltons kawasaki and would be happy to pull out our 1500 for the day if you wanted.? let me know. cheers chris

I have heard or read somewhere that one needs to have saksa membership and be wearing a tag when kiting around adelaide or certain beaches.
I've just moved back to SA but don't plan on frequenting metro beaches, however, if i were to take part in this event would i need to become a member??

Hey hey all- the wind forecast is looking promising for a start at between 12 and 1 on sunday, let's hope it all comes true as seabreeze predicts !!!! Hopefully you have all spread the word and we can get a large number of kites along on the day, the more kites the better the spectacle. My mobile number is 0418 828 603 and if anybody has any questions feel free to contact me ! Take it easy and hopefully I will see you all sunday.

Well all the day is almost here- due to the strong winds forecast we will start from Henley as the 25km from Seacliff to Bower Rd may be a little much in these conditions especially with a very southerly wind expected. So meeting point will be just inside the Torrens outlet at the south end of the esplanade at henley beach at 12 midday on Sunday. We will be coming in at Bower Rd at Semaphore and will have beers and a barbie. Thanks to Chris Jordan and Boltons Kawasaki for supplying us with a three seater jet ski to take care of and cheers to Pete at Onboard for ponying up some beers and meat. The goal on Sunday is to have fun, meet new people and portray the sport in a positive light. Please if you are coming along there are no prizes for pulling kite loop back rolls to blind with a handle pass two metres from shore. Ride within your limits and come for as cruise with a lot of people who get a stoke from the same thing we all love !!! If you read this please post a reply if you are coming so I can get a better idea of numbers. Se you there !!!!!

The negotiations for clearance through the no fly zone stalled and without the go ahead I am not prepared to break the rules- once again for the good of the sport we can not be seen as irresponsible.
cheers all !!!!

Looking forward to the broard reach

I've just checked out the lastest BOM forecasts for tomorrow, looks like it's going to be bloody windy early to mid arvo. It is then supposed to be easing to around 20 knots mid arvo. The wind will be up around 30-40 knots early then easing to around twenty., I reckon it might be better to leave it until one or there abouts to let the wind ease up a bit. Also to allow me a bit more time to get back from goolwa with the jet ski!!! got it at home now, too bad the weather is **** otherwise id take it for a hoot!!!
I should be there with the ski by 12.30. dont panic if im not geoff. i wont be far away!!

I was on they way back from a friend's Sunday and tracked you guys all the way up to Semaphore, stopping off occassionally to watch you go by. A good thing Chris brought the jetski - it looked you needed it a few times to pick up stranded boards, etc. Looked like the wind eased too just in time, according to BoM it was gusting to 30 knots at 12pm, but by 1.30pm gusts had eased to 25 knots.

It was certainly great to watch... and I don't kitesurf!

Hey guys any chance of posting a link to the Photo's

Clint

Hey all,
The photos will be posted on the A.K.F.A. website in a couple of days time, check back then for the link. Cheers.

damn right it was a good day. and to all those snoozers who went kiting somewhere else and didnt bother coming down, pull your heads in. adelaide is too small a place to become all clicky. geoff put in a ****load of hard work and lots of people busted their balls to get this going right and legally. we need to raise the profile of this sport, otherwise it will get banned and there will be nowhere to kite or have kiting schools!!!
we didnt really need the ski in the end but it is always nice for the relative newbies to the sport know that there is help if they need it. im happy to supply the ski anytime you need it geoff.
once again geoff, bloody good job.
and if anyone has photos of the day, if they could send them to me at [email protected] that would be great. if anyone took any off me on the jetski i wouldnt mind those as well so i could stick them up in the shop.
hopefully we can make this a annual thing and more and more coverage and kiters coming along. it makes a great day and gets everone together!!!

Thanks Mick for editing the photos and posting them- cheers.
