If you have never been to Whyalla, its one of the funniest places in SA to kite.
The crew have the biggest stoke factor and are always keen to share that with other kiters.

Don't hesitate! get your car, bag and esky packed and drive on up.

Im keen to see the boys again and have a fun weekend.
Look forward to seeing everyone there.

BOOKED!!!!

Can anyone shed some info on the format and whats going to be run on the day?

Thanks

The event is still in the planing stage, but the date is locked in. One thing you can count on It will be bigger and better than the last comp. The tide is awesome and december is known for good strong breezes.

Hi to all......
Thanks for the great comments on the comp so far.We will be running Downwinder to kick off then as that finishes sliders/kickers will be ready for anyone with the skills,then the Freestyle in all divisions with prob best 10 to 15 riders out as pro shootout, following if time a freeride for everyone to go stupid and get as many kites on the water as possible for a great photoshoot from Hummock Hill and then to wrap it up a Newby for our comp a BORDERCROSS best dressed!!!!!!!!!!! Eg...Geoff (crossdress)Waxy(Santa)Phil(Borat)Crok(Priscila) etc....Big PRIZE for this one!
Along with Events Whyalla,Tony Angel(Avid Engineering) and Xtreme Kites & Paddle we are going to create a Huge event for every rider to enjoy with cash and product prizes totaling over $5000.We are currently working on getting Kiteboarder Mag to the comp as well so we can gain national and international recognition so the comp will grow in years to come.
We will have more info as it happens and yes we do need a few more officials,mc's and whatevers so if you keen to help out just give us a shout.

Bugger me I'll be in Gero than as well. Apparently Decembers no good.

I heard the same thing

I heard the Tino has arranged for RedBull to be there. The WigWam, product and maybe the Wiings Team depending on other events in the area.

We're looking foreard to it.... bring on Whyalla.....

Definitely will need the 8, most probably need the 12, and hopefully need the 6!!
December usually is 12 and 9m weather for me, January last year was all 9m with a couple of 7m days.
What the hell, bring them all!!!

All locked in for Xmas family reunion in Whyalla AB what to bring? 12m,8,6??? all?
Looking forward too the point such a great spot.Pound bay(aka secret spot) and false bay. The old boreshore should be fun too hoping for some twin tip lessons think I'll be in the right spot for that if someone can lend me an old unused twinny that would be good.

Let us know when you are in town so that we can organise a few sessions at False Bay and The Point.

It's been a wet winter, so there is a chance the wind in whyalla wont be as strong. So definitely bring a big kite
