Hi All,
Just to let you know that JB the Naish and North Kiteboarding "Guru" and I will be down at Happy Valley this Sunday the 17th from 11am onwards with all the new 2009 North and Naish gear.
We will be down at the Grassy area where the BBQ's are with all the gear on dissplay.
It Looks like the wind may swing southerly and there will be a out going tide so it should be kiteable
Either way we will be able to fly the new kites and check out the full range of gear regardless.
We will have one of the BBQ's cranking and some cold ones as well.
Please all feel free to come down for a snag or two and a check out the new toy's
Regards
Luke
I'm sorry for my stupid question but where is Happy Valley?
Is it possible for you to put the map here or give me a proper address?
Cheers
Alex
Good Point!! sorry for missing that minor detail!
Happy Valley is on the Sunshine Coast at Caloundra.
www.google.com.au:443/maps?ie=UTF8&q=caloundra+maps&ll=-26.796187,153.13036&spn=0.061904,0.105743&z=13&iwloc=addr
Ok, On the above map Happy valley is right on that Green area directly under the word Caloundra right where the last letter "a" is in the word Caloundra, Hope this helps
Its allso known as the "River Mouth" right at the tip of Bribe Island on the mainland side.
Its in between "Kings Beach" and "Bullcock beach".
If you need any more info please let me know.
Hope to see you there
Regards
Luke
I've got my fingers crossed for you. The new gear rocks!!! and i'm sure people will be stoked.
Make sure you get in early on the beer or i'm sure JB will drink it all.

Winners are grinners 
You should come up PJ if you can get out of the office, looks like the sunny is going to kick the goldie for wind! might get a decent photo shoot out of it?
JB
We will see, if it looks like good wind on sunday i'll come up but there has to be good wind and waves so i can try out my new kites and surfies.
Jacko
Well we could not wait any longer to try the New Naish and North kites out.I just got back from a early morning session down at Happy Valley with JB.
Wind was cross off and smoking.Man its a hard choice to decide wich ones better both the Rebel and Helix felt great!
Come and test them for yourself tomorrow and see what I mean!

I went to the BBQ today and got to try the Rebel and the Sigma in marginal winds.
(12-15 knots) I was surprisingly impressed!
Good company, great conversation, excellent beer! We should do this more often.
Thanks Luke and JB. I had a ball (although it was freezing cold and my agates are now permanently embedded in my armpits)!
It was really great to hear that a certain kite shop manager got "luked" by the guys at Pro Honda......now that's karma......
It was a great day. weather was nice, the sun was out all day.
Massive props go out to the Kite Action crew, they put on an excellent day, and to all that helped out in the setting up and packing down, Thanks.
I hope you all had fun, and hope to be back to help out again soon!
Here are some happy snaps of the day....
Regards,
JB
I got an awesome sequence of the HELIX 09 relaunch, check out the gear review section! Such an awesome kite!

Another nice shot from Sunday of Luke, sorry mate I missed your mobe, but I got your front!
I left the scenery in on this shot so you can see how nice the day was.
Regards,
JB
Thanks to all that came allong.
It was Great to see some old, some familia and some new faces.
Stand out kite on the day for me was the Helix!
when I rode it there must have been all of 8knts max, the tide had slowed down and I was still able to pull some tricks, ride up wind and all without working the kite that much.
Thanks JB for your efforts and for sharing all your extensive knowledge on the new gear.
Regards
Luke
luke make sure you dont get stuck with the wrong kites this year,im sure you have good memorys of last years debarcle
NOW let the pimpers respond!
Hi guys,
Just wanting to say how great sunday's demo day was.
So glad we finally got some wind to actually go out.
Was so impressed with the new gear, can def see my self riding the new Helix this season.
Can I try the 9m Helix some time when there is more wind?
Thanks to JB and Luke from KiteAction for all your help and advise.
thanks luke for the ride on the 09 Helix 12m. was my 1st go on a naish kite and i now realise the cool shape isnt there just for looks, the thing flew very niceley indeed. loved the simple bar design with long throw, could do with a stopper to unspin the lines tho but then again the bar pressure was so light that it made it eazy to unspin them without a stopper. i also loved how in light winds the heilix would move accross the window fast and boost me up high eazyley and float me back down gentaly. i diddnt get to water relaunch because it was eazy to feel where the kite was and i diddnt really want to get it wet lol. i wouldnt mind demoing a smaller 1 in higher winds some time please mr luke and cheers mate for the bbq and beer was a great day.
Good stuff Even,You had that Helix dialled dude!
I reckon we will have to get you on that 9m one for sure.
The only thing I missed was some of those nice backroll kite loops that your famous for!
Rip it up Bro!
cheers
Luke
