All we have to do is hope the weather and wind are in our favour
Last time I'll mention it as I don't want to jinx us.
Catch you there if not before somewhere

Stockton works in all directions, just some directions you get longer runs up and down the beach, either way its a great spot even when its offshore!

Im booked with Troy, Don, Jon, we all have cabins for the weekend. In fact I think we have all of them it will be Kite row!

I'm getting there early friday morning to have a good session at the low tide if the wind is up!

Going to be a great weekend~!

:)

Ok a few of us heading up Friday for a fly on Stockton Beach.

I will be there by 10am at the north end near the surf club to kick off the MAYDA weekend.

The weather is going to be fine and looking like some wind at this point to.

Cheers
Luke

Hi Luke,

Just checked the wind graph for Saturday and Sunday, I think somebody up there likes us and is putting on a mini cyclone.

Hey JD,

your right I cannot believe the forecast 2 days out.

If they are correct this is going to be one hectic weekend




thats a tad hectic for my Speed II, its still going up though :)

Let's just hope we get a bit of a slight direction change to make it perfect, or otherwise upwind is going to be tough.

Yes true the SW is bit hard up wind, but we have some 4wds on hand and will be doing tows up the beach a few kms upwind for the buggys throw everybody GPS units and you can go screaming back down the beach, I think we may see some new records set on the weekend, mine on stockton is 86km/h in the same wind conditions in a SW because its coming just over your shoulder the back wheels are not spinning out sideways you just accelerate.

Its looking good! :)

Good to hear that you have some 4wds lined up as the blokarts might need a tow as well. This wind direction might be a bit tricky for us but I will be there on Saturday to give it a go.
the doctor

Good to hear Doc, the more the merrier, should be a great wild windy weekend

cya there

Speaking of bells on, you may want to bring your game face to amigo, we have some serious wind for this event this weekend, hopefully everybody stays safe, I can't believe the wind direction and strength for a one weekend event, we are certainly blessed

Hi Luke,

It's nice to be able to put a face to a name,

even better to see aerial acrobatics live and within metres of the actions

It was truly a great weekend and near enough to perfect conditions for all levels of kiters

Definitely will be going to Stockton a bit more often

Thanks Kitepower and everyone involved

Hey JD,

Was great to meet you too.

As soon as I get time I will do a round up of the weekend myself, and hopefully get some photos posted also.

There will be some epic video appearing in the next week I am sure.
