Hi All,

I just heard there is a demo day down at Woodman's Point tomorrow arvo for the new 2014 Airush gear, and wondered if any other crew are thinking of going?

I have been riding and liking the lithium kites, but would like to try some of the other kites in the range, to see what the differences are, so looking forward to it. - might try some of the twin tips to.

Looks like it's not going to be a classic sea breeze tomorrow but the south easterly should be plenty strong enough to get out in.

Rubbish. The puffy wind is full of holes as it rolls over, all lumpy, from the Kwinana industrial strip about 4ks to the south-east of beach 2. If it drops and you miss the Point, the next stop is Karnac Island, if you're lucky, after several Ks of snapper breeding grounds being cruised by bruces looking for a quick snack.

You wouldnt need a permit to run a demo day - Woodys or anywhere else.
The new permit regulations at Woodys are purely for kiteschool instructors.

Nice enough conditions down there today with a 14 - 20 knt south easter blowing at beach 1 at woodies,

which was a nice cross / cross on direction

great to try all the gear, with it all being pretty sweet - loved the Cypher Board in the choppy conditions so my mind is made up there.

thanks for making the effort guys !

Thanks to everyone that came down I had a great time and i'm sure i wasn't the only one

The conditions might not have been perfect but the beer was cold and the BBQ was going off!

Thanks to Josh the ranger for popping past to say G'Day and we will see what we can do to get that lesson sorted for you


Also someone left a pair of sun glasses down at the beach. I have them in the shop if you want to pop past and pick them up.

Thanks again to all for coming down and see you all again next week at leighton

That' form is from the department of transport. I wouldn't think kiting would be governed by the transport authority?
