The Kitepower 300

Kitepower is looking for 6 people to join them on the kite road trip of a lifetime.
For at least 300 days the new Kitepower bus will tour the top spots along the East Coast of Australia starting at Cairns/Yorkeys Knob in May 2008 then on to Townsville, Alva Beach, Mackay, Whitehaven Beach (we will rent a 50' cat for a week or so), Bowen, Rockhampton, Tannum Sands, Elliot Heads, Hervey Bay, Noosa, Caloundra, Brighton in Brisbane, Byron, Lennox Head, Coffs, Port Macquarie, Foster, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Geroa, Merimbula, Lakes Entrance, Sandy Pt, St Kilda, Altona, Geelong/Torquay, Warnambool, Portland, Coorong, Adelaide/Lights Landing/Semaphore, Cactus, Woodies, Margs, Lancelin, etc, etc, etc and ending in Geraldton/Corronation Beach in April 2009.

We would like to hear from people who can be with us for the entire trip, Kitepower will provide all the latest kites from Cabrinha, Ozone, North, Slingshot, Best, Flysurfer, and Peter Lynn. We will also have mountainboards from MBS, and Dirt Theory, buggies from Flexifoil, Libre and Peter Lynn.
Land kites from Peter Lynn, Ozone and Flexifoil.

All breakfasts on tour are provided and there will be food available for lunch and dinner too, but you may choose to eat in the local towns for variety if you wish. However we plan to invite at least one person with chef/cooking skills and will be eating well, because we know how important good food is for kiters who are doing lots of kiting and thats the plan! Lots of kiting.

The bus will comfortably sleep 6, there is a doublebed bunk room and 3 single bed bunks, shower on board as well as a dunny, full on luxury, including a full kitchen.
There is a roll out annexe on one side of the bus for outdoor living in almost any weather.

Some one with a license to drive a bus will be almost certain to win a place on the tour. Some final finishing touches are happening with the bus now and we will be ready to leave Sydney on Monday May 21st, so please send your details, including age, sex, skill level, and a short story in approx 100words why you want to join the tour. Send all applications to sydney(at)kitepower.com.au addressed to Steve.

Cya and

Goodwinds

OH MY GOD, that would be insane. Whoever gets it is going to have a trip of a lifetime.

OMG where is the drooling smiley.

Dont believe rellie. He sure can appreciate a feed - any feed - but you gotta doubt the cooking claim.

I vote a BIG no.1 for Tobes as tour chef.

I'm really disappointed that I did not get at least one written 100 word request for a seat on the fantasy bus tour!

Shat, should have read the last few posts before reacting. Windgenuity just bidded on a bus online at pickles to come join you! I guess now we'll be going by our selves (assuming we win the bid).

Hey Haircut, what was wrong with the Best Bus?!!!! That was a great tour, we met many nice natives and have many fond mamories from that trip. Okay there was the odd death threat or two ("if you bring those **ity Best kites to our beach we'll burn them and your rep" is one of the comments i remember), but hey kitesurfing is an extreme sport!!!! Obviously either my nice nature or my great big guns made them back down!!!

Anyways, Chinese Steve - hats off!! That was a bloody big maggot you used to hook that lot!!!!! LOLs
