cant wait for robe!! its going to be so awesome. lets hope that we can get as many windsurfers as possible! i want to see numbers matching the kiters on the water! even if you have never sailed in waves come down and give it a go! the first time i ventured out in waves was at robe. i was ****ting myself! but ended up having one of the most memorable sails ever! its a great weekend. BE THERE OR BE SQUARE! also make sure that you sign up for your show bag! i would do it NOW! cause they sell out really quickly. peace everyone! cant bloody wait to see u there.

footy or game of cricket at the park would be good - like Aussie day weekend - maybe Saturday arvo if the winds crap - If we make off the water plans Huey may spoil them with wind and waves!

Beach cricket against the kiters?

5 girls, 5 boys and one dog on each side?

The kiters might struggle with the 5 boys, will you let them have extra dogs?

Oh no good.... i'm heading over to victoria with a few of the boys to help in the rebuilding side of things over that way.... should be interesting and great to give a hand also. and i currently cant even get to my windsurfing gear!!!!! covered and on top of what seems like km of boxes and junk from the house. Have our first open inspection for sale this saturday!!! been fairly full on couple weeks. 17 years in one house certainly collects a fair bit and lots of little things get run down a bit also...

Anyway sure all will be sorted soon hopefully.

We accept your challenge, but wasn't sure if there is enough windsurfers coming to Robe to field a team.

its not always about quantity - its the quality that matters - and most of crew are used to signing up when they get there - this idea of doing it before you leave is somewhat foreign to many of them that have been competing down there since before kitesurfing was invented

Hey guys I now this comp has been around for 27 years.. I know in the past years, sign has been be done when ever, But with the hoodies now, we need a bit more planning time..

The other thing the comp use to be only about 20-30 competitors on a good year, now with those tea baggers and SUP crew, we are now going to be over 150 competitor.

As to date, over 90 people have signed up, and good news about 20 windsurfers are in that list.

The good news is, there will be heaps of Coopers, Red Bull and stuff to go around.

Well I should have won the event for the last 2 years with my Saturday night performance.

So I think you need to party as hard as me.

To get any where close to winning this event.

So stoked, cant wait.. this week is going to be so long… a week from now, we will be getting a taxi bus to 3rd ramp for a heaps cool beach carpark party.. Drinking many beers and redbulls, and listening to some tunes… I can feel it now…
