We are driving up from Melbourne the Saturday before

Thinking of driving up Wed from melb possibly solo subject to wind/waves forecast. When is the cutoff for registrations?

I've been told the same, I tried online but it went to ****, tried to contact them but nothing so far.
I'm going with on the day.

Haven't been b4 what style are they competing with in the kitesurf event?

Is not a comp is a festival good party but not a fair competition and if you don't know the organisers and is not sponsored by a brand that is supporting the event no chances

nobody gives a **** about the results- that's not what it's about.

you obviously take yourself too seriously. it's not the place for you

Just telling the true he is new never been there and asking about the competition!
Just explaining how it works I been there a few times i can say exactly how it works
Is not a comp is a festival like i sad good for drinking and party
But that is all nothing fair about the competition part of it

**** , I was just asking because I wanted to bring my son and he asked me what styles as he only uses twin tip. Chill the **** out if this is the attitude of people that go I think I stay home??

There are prizes/awards specifically aimed at young people and newbies who have a good crack at it, who are stoked to be there and who never whinged!
Make sure you let the roaming judges know who you are
No 1 Rule - No whinging (not to be confused with Winging).

Its not a normal competition, Its the Merrimbula Classic, there are no heats, no rashies or competitor numbers. The judges are all the senior members of the club + long term attendees of the event. Even if people are kiting at another beach and really showing some talent and style with good attitude it will not go unnoticed.
Sure there are sometimes some strange decisions, especially if local legend Ben Wilson turns up ( apparently he can win without entering the water ha!)
Remember Rule No 1 - No Whinging!

Its all about the stoke, ,meeting old friends and making new ones, and having the time of your life on and off the water.

Can't wait!

Steve (also a judge, bribes willingly accepted, but I have a short memory)

Hi Scotty Been going to this event for years And is so chilled and met so many kiters who are now good mates and each year make new ones
1st year was on twin tip So much fun and chilled
Started wave board brand 2010 which James Carew a small tacker then started on my boards and also gave away a few junior boards back at the start
All who registered take price from table so everyone wins Also as Steve stated they are all ways looking for new junior talent to support

Jeff

Hey mate, I was not having a chop at you at all. Sorry if it came across that way.

Mambo is all about having fun and enjoying the wind and waves. taking the competition or yourself seriously like old mate has no place there. I hope to share some waves with you over the long weekend and a beer on the beach afterwards

That all sounded great a pleasant relief from ego and sales central ...

Which is what those type of "oh I am in a competition look at me' is...which takes all the fun out of it.
Children in Africa and suffering dogs/cats etc in Greece Neal and bali etc are more important..
sound brilliant.
Have fun
