no need for a 4x4 i did 3 weeks up there in my van not so long ago. I went to heaps of different beaches and didnt have any probs.

hope i can make it back up there again for the expo

Exmouth Expo dates are set at 3/10 to 8/10
Same as last year with a morning meeting at Yardie Homestead Caravan Park and BBQ and drinks each night there as well.
We are currently organising a band at the Exmouth Yacht club on the final night so accommodation in town for the 8/10 is recommended.
Pm me your email to register and I will send any updates straight to you
cheers
Scott

Just been up to exmouth and kited at town beach. The wind was great and there are some nice rolling waves out the back. So good to be out in the water again!!

Sorry everyone
Just noticed I had the start of the Expo as 3/10. It should of read 2/10 to the 8/10.
Any way thats an extra day of kiting.
Numbers are already looking good and we are starting to get some confirmations from the manufacturers, Although we will be securing different brands right up to the event.
I don't suppose anybody can fit a slider or kicker in the back of their car on the way up.
We might be able to organise a club day where we build something here at the yacht club anyway.
Any other ideas?

can you put me (andrew from esperance and tania) down on your list , cant wait to get back up north away from this cold! not driving twice like we did last year so see you and emma then!

Hey Little o, how rude to come to Exy and not drop in to stay with/kite/dive/surf with us.

I is still here!

i'm thinking about it, would be going from the 2nd 'til the 6th inclusive if i do.

edit: getting different dates from this thread & the waksa site. it'll be sat-wed, however that fits in..

We are having a club construction night this friday. Should end up with some solid objects in the water this year, so bring an old board with you

Hi Guys

Can't wait for the expo this year! We'll be delaying the opening of the school and our shop to enjoy some real wind at reasonable temperatures for a week to get the blood pumpin' again before we kick off!

BRING IT ON BABY!

KH

i'd love to come but i'll be in cambodia! Yippee

Sorry Daz we had a looksie for you but time was short as the swell of the year was coming.......Scott ended up with 2 mag covers out of it. I got very aquainted with gnarloo carpark.......

finally got to the bluff though... way better

Pmd. Im in, +1. super stoked!

Will catch you up there Scotty (pm sent) and others

What is everyone doing for accomodation? It'll be last minute for me because of work. Are most camping? If I don't have anyone to drive with I'll fly I guess. If I fly what are hire car rates like up there?

a few of us are staying yardie creek caravan park, $150 for a powered pitch for the week, pretty cheap.

G'day! I m interesting in going and driving up from Perth. Would be happy to car pool...anybody out there to pool with?

Beware of mr & mrs hitler, they pretend to be dog lovers, donate your bond to the flying doc's(great charity) and then, in his words," you people come up here from perth and think you can do what ever you want". The manager and his wife put a real dampner on what was a great expo last year for my family. Would of taken the matter further with the owners but they were away on holidays and when the dust had settled just kinda thought it was'nt worth it.

Walks i take you wont be staying at Yardie Creek Caravan Park this year then???

Doesn't sound good as if you read the event update posted today this will be the wind down venue at the end of each day

Also of interest is the Yachting silver card membership which it sounds like is
compulsory personal injury insurance

All good mark, you don't have to stay there to enjoy scott & emma's hospitality, its really chilled out and you come and go as you please, just a shame my wife and dog won't be coming this year!

Thats right weta as for us (Exmouth kiters) to insure our own event it is the only way we can do it affordably.
The Exmouth kiters donate time and our own personal gear for the expo.
Any profits not used for the expo will go to improving kiting in our local area and creating a better expo for next year rather than going purely to kiteboarding in Perth only.
I am a member of WAKSA and I believe we still need a central association however it is the local clubs which can resolve local problems.
I understand AKSA is working to include local clubs under their banner however it will not be in time for the expo.
So untill then we will use what we have and those without a silver card will have to pay an extra $12 per day.
Hope to see you all up here and you can all enjoy some Exmouth hospitality
And Walks I am sorry about your experience with the caravan park but if a caravan park says dogs on leash then dogs must be on leash and you did get a warning
cheers

Thanks Scott for the clarification on the insurance & errant pouch owners

No worries turtlehunter, i know were i stand, just how i like it !
