Who is going the the Nationals at Elliot Heads between the 7th - 11th of march?

I'll be going, but I'll likely only be watching. Buggered my shoulder and have to get an ultrasound Monday to see if it needs to be fixed Either way, it needs rest for a while.

Hey Mr Bonk, that sucks about your shoulder. Bad timing.

Any guys thinking about coming up and not competing should enter regardless because there's going to be aome great divisions including races, kicker sessions and so on and there will be tonnes of prizes easily outdoing your $50 entry fee. Boards from Nobile, Liquid Force, clothing and accessories from Slingshot and Best, subscriptions to Kiteboarder Magazine and even seabreeze.com.au sms packs and plenty more!!

Hey bill sounds like its going to be sick just wondering when we registered were we ment to receive a comfirmation email??

Im going all flights booked im excited

if i just rock up (haven't registered) for the days will i be allowed to actually ride? i dont' even care about competing just wanna be able to hit the water if there's good wind.

Its going to sweet im going for sure cant wait to ride in a tide again

It looks like the wind is going kick in. There is a camp ground 250m from the event.

Elliott Heads is named the "Coral Coast's best kept secret"

Should be all time. There should be some space around for guys to free-ride. Please just be a bit courtious and try to stay out of the way of the event as it runs.
The caravan park should have some camp spaces but it definitely doesnt have anything in the way of cabins. If you need this sort of accomodation your best bet will be Kellys Beach Resort www.kellysbeachresort.com.au/. They've also been good enough to do a 25% discount for anyone who mentions the Nationals event so there will be a great scene with plenty of kiters staying at the same place.

Just a heads-up about those tides. A 3.2M tide means nowhere to rig up (and I mean *nowhere*), unless you stand on top of the dunes and set-up/launch. However, it also means the huge lagoon behind the dunes fills up with flat, shallow water

Yeap boys I'm there going to be great nmot just to ride but top catch up with the whole crew again..
I plan on having the camera out too so keep your eye out for it..
Can't wait :-)

that lagoon is awesome in a SE. should be a ripper event if you get good wind. a beautiful place that's for sure.

I have never kitted in the lagoon, can't wait. The weather predictions look sweet.

Are the Redbull promo people going to be there?

Dunno But the redbull people will be at the Classic

Red Bull is over, Rockstar will be on site if you dare. lol. You'll see!

Also bring your helmets if you might be keen on some kicker action. we'll have a bit of abest trick for cash event (not too much casy but the kickers should be pretty fun regardless, haha). Kickers on both tacks for the first time i've seen!

Forgot to mention.

Friday night party is the 80's party in town. Start op shopping now for your outfit. I just wish my hair was a bit longer at the moment so i could cut a decent mullet.

anyone needing a lift im leaving the sunnycoast thursday arvo and i have a seat left if anyone needs it. 0423700541

Good luck to WA crew heading or already over east. Enjoy

i dont think they will need it, wind forecasts are looking straight out of the west at this stage, haha.

Awesome event.
