Wassup!

for the nationals we have got some fun toys to put in the water and leave it there all weekend.

We will have 4-5 Obstacles:

16m C-Rail

Kicker

Flat-bar

Funbox

1 surprise Obstacle



More photos coming soon.

Matti Di Nittis and his Cairns Cable crew will also be coming down to demo and **** sh** up Jetski towed.

We will do some rail photo shootings at night time will be heavy [}:)]

I heard only Rowdy is allowed to session the obstacles though? Sad for all others involved.

We went to Alva the past two days.

Tide was pretty much the same like it will be at nationals. NEAT and Buttah flat water.

Alva is now the perfect set up for freestyle, racing and rails after cyclone Yasi. Waist deep flat water size of 2 footy fields combined.
all action close to spectators and judges.

This years Nationals will be epic!! Cant wait to see some of the finest riding this country has to offer.

I think especially the girls will make our sport look very good this year!

Kicker and c-rail are both made 10mm hdpe for slider surface and the flat bar is Modwood a plastic timber.
C rail is 16 + meters floating, falt bar is 7.5m on legs and the kicher is about 1.2m high x 3m

Wall rider makes for good pics. You prob have this covered but make sure they are ancored well. The ones last year in Makay were torn apart like nothing in the water and they were held down with tyres full of concrete.
