A big thanks to everyone that came down and helped out and well done to all of the competitors.
It was good to see a few new faces at the front of the pack and even some of the girls giving the more experienced guys a real run for their money!!
Here are the results:
I thought it was interesting to note that 1st 2nd and 3rd were all on Airush kites and boards ![]()
If anyone has any constructive feed back or if you are keen to pitch in and help us make this even better we are super keen to hear from you as we want to keep improving this series to make it the best we can.
Thanks again everyone and we will see you up at Kite Stock for more racing!
Great day out - excited that I got a 4th, seemed worse on day - shows you just got to battle on in each race and not give up if it is all going to ****ttt with gear and setup .... Can't wait for the next round in Perth - Enjoy the racing at kite stock lads. No More fun can be had in 15 knots onshore and dead flat. Cool
The sectors killed it on day.
P.S good work Alty 5th, long fins and weed make for a depressing slow day on water but not so bad after all, keep it up mate and lots of fun racing to be had in near future. ![]()
Hi All,
I placed this note under another topic after the race.... Rarely use the forum
Finally we can say we've held our first successful course race series today for 2011-2012. The wind was perfect and on schedule at South Beach with 15-18knts. There were about 10 entrants and good to see a few girl's in the fleet.
Thanks to Ian Gross and Damo of Airborne Kitesurfing for supplying six Airush Sector One Design course boards and Juddy El Presedent of WAKSA for bringing the shade and more importantly, the Esky, with an assortment of cold drinks ahhh.
It was good to see new faces at the event.
For those who are interested to race regularly after work, I've setup a google group email address to let keen sailors know about where and when we will be racing, either Melville or South Beach. All last week at South beach there was a consistent 10-15knt southerly breeze, ideal course board saling. If you are interested send me an email and I'll invite you to the Group - [email protected]
See you all at the next Airborne/WAKSA race series or causal racing at the river or South Beach.
hi kosmonaut,
I sent you an email a short while ago, have you received it?
it's about the Kite-racing Nationals in Townsville, in June 2012 (from the 7th to the 11th).
cheers,
Eneour
