Planning on taking the family. If we just are going as spectators do we need to pay? What do people who pay get?
Definitely no payment for spectators! Its a a relaxed format with no prize money. Social and fun. There will be a fee for event participants to contribute towards insurance, water safety, and other direct costs.

No spectators don't pay, if you attend and participate in events you need to pay the KA insurance, it's not a stipulation by us we're personally copping $1000 so myself and dave are insured to host the event, The event Carnt be sanctioned unless us as hosts and attendants are covered,
should be a great wknd

425k's from Perth CBD. Allow 4 to 5 hours drive time. Or you can fly in 1 hour with Qantas and Virgin. Will save your company car fuel.

That's easy
What's the average breeze for that time of year. On the fence to buy a new kite for it or wait until then to demo something

5's are always good in the midwest
Yep 5 ain't uncommon for the wave crew, last year my 7/9 were used mainly on my tt, had many high powered sessions, there will be plenty of kites to demo we've nearly all the big brands attending bar 2/3 and heaps of your lesser known brands, so you'll have plenty to play on

I ride a 9 in anything over 20kn and the 7 comes out over 40 depending on ocean conditions or I'll stay on the 9 if it's clean enough to keep control.
Wave guys are on 5-6-7s when I'm on a 9. Not uncommon to get 5 days straight of 20+ that time of year. Fingers crossed for the event

were planning a marquee set up after the big dwinder to coronations beach with some music ,food and frostys, also a coach to take us back to town as we might be fairly lashed up, im working on a full description at the moment, so keep an eye on seabreeze /midwest windfest and also seabreeze events, as ill be getting it posted up there, cheers and looking forward to the gig, mick caunce/dave whettingsteel, midwest windfest
Will there be a DW on Friday too ?
We are only planning on having the one "official" down winder where we provide all the water safety, land backup, event etc at the end.
It takes a lot of people to support a relatively long down winder and doing it more than once is a big ask, along with the wave and big air events.
However there is absolutely nothing stopping riders doing as many down winders as they like outside of the official one. But it wont be supported, you're on your own.
Cheers

Flick dave whettingsteel a message, hes the tech guy, or let me know exactly whats wrong and ill get him on it, had a drama myself getting rego
Really stoked to let people know we have secured Infigen Energy @Infigen as our major sponsor. Infigen operate the Geraldton WindFarm ( you can see their windmills on the hills to the east of Gero as you arrrive). It's a great match, re-enforcing the value of the MidWest wind both for recreation and sustainable power production.
Their sponsorship through the Alinta Wind Farm Community Fund will underpin the event assisting with insurance, water safety and logistics costs helping us keep the cost to riders as low as we can, and running a safe and fun event.
