Congrats Ian, nice to see a fellow old fart kick arse.
But sorry, that was no kite, that was a Zeppelin 
Personally I had a great day on my 7M RRD and surfboard.
cool setup for the event.. not enough wind though! ahh 25 - 30 would of bin nice with my 9m 
I was using a 15m Flysurfer Speed2 and Spleene Zone wave board 
15-20 knots wasn't enough wind??? Some people are hard to please LOL
The inshore current did make it a challenge to hit the kickers hard though.
The 15m Speed2 is the same kite I normally use in 7-10 knots 
and I wasn't overpowered yesterday - says something about the wind range of Flysurfer kites
Thanks for all the WAKSA crew for doing such a great job with everything as always.
Ah Iann!
Many congrats!
I'll assume it was ur Red bull that helped you boost massive air in the 15-20knots
Cheers Kat

Your WAKSA Crew
PROTEST !!! PROTEST !!!
Its not a butt check if the wave behind you s t r e t c h e s up and slaps your bum while you are kiting away 
. DOH
Great to get in the 'real' ocean for a change.
Great spectator crowd - huge.
Great day out all round.
But where were all the kiters - very very strange.
All waiting for Kitestock I guess
Great organisation guys - extremely well done.
Thanks heaps.
Also props to Ian for lending me the aforementioned Flysurfer after inflato-explodo, helping me out of the bottom third of the rankings and into fourth place.
Thanks to Jess and all the WAKSA crew for an expertly run event. It was a pleasure to take part in.
Great work Sue for crowd control, and Nick for killer hawt dawgs.
Looking forward to next year's.
