Once again the Merimbula Sailboard club has put on a world class event and even managed to turn on some decent wind & waves. Massive thanks to everyone. Myself Nat & Ledger had a blast.
Few missing this year but hopefully you will all be back next year and more!

1st & 2nd don't forget the old man taking out the grand masters

I reckon it's good to see that Mark is giving his son every opportunity he can plus he gets to have fun as well

Please excuse my ignorance but why the red thumbs for the Carew tribe?
Seems like they did well and enjoyed themselves, wish I could've dodged work and been there too!

Congrats to mark hampton. He showed us the WA spirit and shredded too.

Also first timer Jed Ferguson .Solid performance from an old fish.

Watch out for Kenta/Slash turned 13 during the event but sups like a 16 year old

And last but not least Aron Kenny. First time un strapped in the waves and now he has got the surf bug.
I watch him trying to get out on a sup at pambula on the biggest day. He paddled,paddled got washed up and paddled for an hour just to get out.
Pure pig headedness to succeed,Watch this 12 year old soar.
We had a great time as always thanks to every one.

My first time.

Unbelievable vibe, first class peeps and crew...

Kiting in total onshore with 30 + other kiters... ha not my scene. Never will be.

Ben Wilson, who is the most recognised kite surfer on this planet was not the only "kitemare" on that day.

Maybe a wake up call...

Time to change some aspects..

Don't care if these comments get me off side, I will be going back earlier with more crew without the crowds.

Beautiful place..
