Big thanks to all those riders who have recently submitted their forms yew!

Coconet in consultation with AKSA have extended the application period til the 20th of Feb.

The reason that we need forms in quickly is not directly related to the comp, it is a matter of available tickets for the music event. The issue is the ticketing company is separate to Coconet and having sold all pre event tickets they are putting pressure on Coconet to finalise the numbers of riders so by chance there is spare tickets, hence the ticketing compnay can capitilise.

So even if you want to just come to this years Nationals because of the amazing band lineup and to be there is by way of having a crack at the Nationals; we need your application form ASAP!

Yes we want Australia's best kiteboarders to be on their game but hey where else will you get an event like this one. Just the after party alone is going to top any other event held in Australia, not to mention all the other benifits riders are going to get by competing.

In closing, Coconet in conjunction with AKSA is sending a mail out to all members, givng them an extension to get their forms in. Please act quickly as the pressure baring down upon Danielle and the Coconet team is not worth their time and hassle in putting together the Kiteboarding component of this years Coconet Classic. This is the premiere freestyle event which has been going now into its 6th year, if we as riders can't support it then why should Coconet?

Looking forward to seeing a massive run on applications in coming days and I personally can not wait til this event, it is going to be all time!

Cheers

Nah Jaimie, Get ur entry in!!!

20th Feb is the new cut off date.

Entries into the National Freestyle Championships have officially closed as of the end of FEB but the Coconet Classic Freeride format is still open to all riders and all levels (check out www.coconetclassic.net.au)

Any late entries for the National Titles from this point on will be accepted on a case by case basis and a small additional admin fee will be added. So if you have not yet lodged your claim to ride in this year’s event you still have that opportunity but you must have a good reason as to why you are late;

Something like you lost track of time sitting on the crapper reading sea breeze forums on your IPhone relating to nose grab KGB mega loop will just about cover it!

This year we are allowing a select few competitors to ride in dual divisions. If you are a junior or master competitor and would like the opportunity to have a crack in Open Men’s…please let me know ASAP, there will be an additional charge yet to be determined but I stress you must consider yourself a chance to compete strongly. To substantiate your claim references will be made to your trick list on your initial application!

FREERIDE UPDATE
This year the freeride will see a mixed discipline format. There will be a PARK discipline where riders will hit kickers and sliders: 12m long GALE FORCE KITES A-FRAME plus the SLINGSHOT KICKER just to name but two!
BIG AIR discipline
EXPRESSION SESSION plus heaps more thanks to the Tannum Sands Kiteboarding Club and Coconet
