THE WOO MOUNT

Awesome idea!

Hey Paul can I borrow your board?

Yes everyone feel free to come and grab some more Jump specific gear!
We will also keep the leader-board updated on this thread.

tell him it doesn't record freestyle

Joel!

Freestyle is where it is at!!

Check the results from this mornings test session -

Pretty impressive height for the bay! I think you should put an * next to bay sessions - I reckon that's way more impressive!

Do you have to actually land or be on the board when it takes off ?

Awesome. I reckon I'll have a crack at it on my slalom board in an estuary.

Max velocity meets wave.

I'm not sure how much leverage you would get if you aren't actually 'sailing' your board when you hit a ramp!! However, you don't have to land it!!

This competition is all about getting MAXIMUM height!

This is my game plan!!!

6.5 Severne NCX & Futura 101

Max Speed + Ramp = Reaching the stratosphere!!

How many units do you have? You can almost guarantee that the good days on the bay when you fellas will be having a crack will be good at Invy & other places too, so for us living down the coast who might want to have a go it would be good to have a couple of units if possible.

As it stands, we currently have 1 unit available to use!

But... do not fear! We have more available to purchase if you desire!!

Only 1 unit is gonna make it very tough...If theres a good forecast for the weekend it will be near impossible to borrow it then...IMO you need minimum 5 units to make it workable.

^agree... take the long range forecast for next Tues for example...



20-25 SW = Prime jumping conditions for all areas including the bay, surf coast, mornington pen, the island, and Invy/SandyPt . Not sure about far Sth West, but I'm sure there's spots there too.

If you have Tuesday off, you better book it in now then

Nice comp fellas. There was a Kiter that hit 11.7m with his WOO the other day in Whyalla. It looked impressive from the shore.

There is something to aim for.

^ The first rule about the flight club is we dont talk about the flight club!!
The second rule about flight club is we dont talk about **%*** kiters

Gents,

If demand is high we will put a second unit on demo ! But keep in mind you can have a session with a few mates using the same unit, all you have to do is switch it off and on again to create a new session and this will split up the Jump info! The comp runs to the end of February so plenty of opportunities to have a go !

Great conditions today to kick off "Flight Club", we have two units out today so we should see the first results tomorrow !

Ladies and Gentlemen we have our FIRST results from FLIGHT CLUB!

We are sitting with Jan "Koster" Kruze as the high flyer from yesterdays session at Dendy Street with a 22.4ft rocket air!The G-Force on the landing was pretty high at 4.4 so no doubt it was a knee shattering jump, that's what we want!!!Hock is coming at a close 2nd, at 20ft, and I've got a feeling this was a forward loop, good it see the boys going huge!

Victor (Victori) "Fernadez", with another big jump in dying wind conditions was a great effort at 17.5ft!

Keep up the good work guys!

We have decided to split the groups up into Bay & Coast sessions, just to ensure we have a level playing field!

At the moment, we have 2 units out! So be sure you drop into the Zu early to reserve your unit for a big session!

Remember, "Keep talking about Flight Club"

#Letsgethigh

Alright, with the competition kicking off with a big session at Dendy Street last week, we thought we should show you what is on offer for those high flyers!

Fanatic & North are kindly donating a North XT extension and base (Rrp $395)





We will also give away a Woo Sports to the overall winner (Rrp $299)






So.... Make sure you drop into The ZU Boardsports to pick up your WOO Unit and see how high you are!!

1991 ish....

A quick update, we haven't had any massive conditions lately but we have a few more competitors on the leader-board.
Forecast for Saturday looks good so come and pick up a WOO !

Ok it has been a bit quite a while due to light winds but we have a new leader, Tao manage to clock 28ft at the 13th beach bombie yesterday (respect !)
And we have 7-20Ft waves forecast for the next few days and we have already had 4 people (you know who you are) requesting the Woo, this could get interesting ! Stay tuned !
