Hi all,
I was at 3rd ramp on Sat and the swell is on the rise. Looks like a great weekend coming up.

The Tide and Swell looks as though it's going to be fairly high over the weekend so don't get caught out with 2 wheel drive vehicles on the beach late afternoon.

For those who find the swell to big or if the wind is to off shore for their liking then there is another option at Lake George about 30 k's down the road. Turn towards the lake at the Woakwine cutting turn off.
If you want smaller waves then the surf beach at Beachport.

Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Shout out to all the crew heading up to Robe - drive safe, have a good trip and I'll see you up there !

To all those staying in adelaide or going elsewhere book it in now for next year- epic good times !!!!!.

hey Dale, the ferry is 24 hours.

Robe was F*#king awesome!!! Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Onboard, the SAKSA guys, anyone who helped to organise, sponsors, and all the competitors for making the weekend such a success. Im sure that everyone had a great time and have met many new people. Looking forward to next year. YEEEEOOOOOOW. Not looking for the 3 day recovery period

To all the competitors and hangeroners, thanks for making Robe 2008 massive.. Thanks to the SAKSA boys for their efforts, the boys from Onboard and Gary from Red ball. A big thanks to the DJs, they made it. It was nice to be able to chill out at 3 rd with tunes.

The robe easter classic over the last 3 years has been getting bigger and better each year, With red bull coming to the sponsor party, they are already talking about bigger things for next year and well as trying for other big sponsors as well.

What makes Robe so good?? Is it the chilled out style of the comp?? Is the Saturday night at the Robe Pub that no one can remember what happened? Or is all the coopers and red bull you can drink??

If anyone can think of how to improve the Easter classic let us know, as plans are starting for next year already.

Thanks.

DAMN, What a massive weekend that was, i have only just recovered. Well i think we all agree on what a great event and weekend it was. The surf and wind was awesome on Friday and Saturday, and i dont think we could have asked for much more. A MASSIVE thanks needs to go out to Gary from Redbull for bringing down the Redbull tee pee's and keeping us awake all weekend, Coopers for the massive Friday night party, Hayden and Alex from Wink Entertainment for busting out the sweet tunes day and night through the comp, Little Creatures and all the boys from Onboard for organising this awesome event. Also all the companies that donated prizes to all the winners, and the door prizes, Neil Pride, Cabrinha, Rip Curl, Quiksilver, Slingshot, Mystic, Naish, North, Globe, Robe Bakery, Robe Butcher, Schweppes, Cadbury, Derringers Music, Red Baron, South Coast Wind and Wave, Evan for the great trophies and everyone else who helped out. With out all of these people and companies we could not hold such a successful and awesome event. So try to remember to support the companies that are supporting kitesurfing in South Oz.

Congratulations to all the winners;
