Charitable Donations = Spots in the 2014 L2L.

Two spots have become available in the L2L and we have been requested this week to support the Ngala * Give anything for a Good Night's Sleep * … campaign

So, rather than a long winded auction, the first two kiters who pledge to give a tax deductible donation of $500 to the Ngala charity get a spot! All welcome to pledge, as long as you are a WAKSA member and have the required 100 hours of experience. You do not have to have been in the original ballot.

100% of the $500 goes to Ngala and will need to be paid by C/C on their official site.

Please email me if you wish for one of the two spots directly, first in best dressed.

One spot purchased, one spot left. 100% of the fee is TAX DEDUCTIBLE and goes to Ngala. Here's your chance for a spot :-)

Spot Two: SOLD.

Thanks Guys for the interest and support in helping Ngala.

They do an amazing job and if you or anyone else has any challenges in the world of parenting, they are a great resource to access too.

See you on the water this afternoon - yay - finally my first kite of the season!!!

Hey all those who've done this before, what time did we have to get to the ferry terminal last year for registration? I assume it would be pretty similar. Just doing some logistics planning.

Last year we registered between 8:30 and 9:30am. The ferry departed at 10.00am.

I'm no racing man, but there is lots of talent in WA. My bet is that a WA local takes out the event this year.

They are indeed. World # 1 Steph and World # 3 Ollie. Roll on Race Day. It's an epic in the making.

Anyone care to start a * book * of odds - just for fun ...!??!

Olly is actually dominating the Formula Racing atm. Won last event, dominated at worlds. He is also one of the fastest guys in the world on the foils and I'm hearing he is bringing a new NKB prototype slalom board with proto meanline fins.Pretty sure Steph will rock into the top 10 men ;)Lets see what Olly and the other guys got. The 23 minutes, 50 seconds stand!

Good for you MikeyG, enjoy it's a great event.

Rez I still have my fingers crossed you will get a start somehow, as one of the original and most talented female kiters in Perth you definitely deserve it.....

P.S. you can still enter "The Cut" sup race, I know you haven't done any paddling of late but hey the wind will blow you home.

I'll keep the supping in mind (far more punishing option) and thanks for the kind words. There is always next year right! Yes and well done mikeyg- have fun!
