I dont actually have a race board
I have never even seen one being used around here.
But I have often thought North Haven on a Northwesterly
would be the go with a raceboard.
Great long flat water speed run.

Dont have a race board either but a bit of fun on a twin tip or surfboard I am sure.
A race around the pole at North Haven would be good. (what ever that does) - Kiterben please comment.
Caney may need a lesson or two!!!!!!!!
What is the format of a race?

Hey guys, we have a few things in the pipeline at the moment on getting a race series started. We will know more in a couple of weeks, so stay tuned.

If anyone is interested in volunteering some time to help this series get started, please PM me. Remember many hands make light work

Cheers Croc

This is kite racing!!! I've been using the race boards for 2 years now and only got bored of it because there was no-one else to race with.

3rd race board on order!!!

The pole you are referring to at Outer Harbor Jim, is a lead light which vessels use to keep in the deepest part of the channel when navigating in the day and night. During the day they align the triangular shapes together and at night they align the blue lights (when inline they are in centre of channel).

In a north westerly i would be happy to use my boat to run some floats out in the shape of a course. Even on twin tips it would be something different and fun.

Awesome Ben!
Hey Jim, thanks to your help, I got to go around that pole several weeks ago! "Just lean back!" Made the difference mate! :-)

I am selling my race board, I have a cabrinha 188x65 2012 model, tri fin. Only selling it because I don't use it, and I am hopefully going to be leaving the country for a period of time in the near future :) if anyone is interested send me a PM, or chuck me a MSG on 0432795768 and I can get you some pictures. Asking price $1000, or make an offer, I am open to reasonable offers. The board is in like new condition :)
