turned out to be a great start to the season.

good 10m weather for the first 2 races then it went nuclear and the decision was made to abandon the racing.

Although it would have been fun to race in 25knots+, the decision was totally understandable.

Thanks to the KP crew and to the PRO who volunteered his time.

much appreciated, cant wait for the next round.

I told them to Funk off, and they just looked at me....

i managed to get my **** together and get around them, far out tho.

Don't think so. Looks like there will be a nice South Easterly. Between two troughs (as per Saturdays Forecast) anything can happen though

Was wicked good, a range of racing on different sizes..
Now the question, I was so much fast upwind and round the course on my 13m as opposed to my 10m, even when the wind increased..
10m more comfortable, but not as quick upwind or down wind..
Yet most all the guys were doing much better on there smaller kites..
