Its on again! date is Dec 4th
Hopefully everyone gave their liver a rest last year because it is on!
This year the guys got in early with Events Whyalla and booked an awesome tide. Hopefully this year Whyalla really shows its stripes with howling 30+knt winds like it is known for.
Game on... its going to be heaps sick
Time to book accomdation... I reckon we all stay at the foreshore Motor inn, as the caravan park didnt realy have much love to us last time..

Just ring and say that you are part of the Whyalla kite comp, we have had rooms put aside for crew traveling.
Good on the whyalla crew for putting a event on.

If you have never been to Whyalla, its one of the funniest places in SA to kite.
The crew have the biggest stoke factor and are always keen to share that with other kiters.
Don't hesitate! get your car, bag and esky packed and drive on up.
Im keen to see the boys again and have a fun weekend.
Look forward to seeing everyone there.
get back from Mambo on the Wednesday, drive to Whyalla on the Friday ready .....aaah yeah !
Epic flat water spot, sweet setup for riding or just lounging at the beach and watching the action.
Seconding Joyriders comment- awesome crew, friendly and super fun- and the Eyre Hotel never disappoints.
BOOKED!!!!
Can anyone shed some info on the format and whats going to be run on the day?
Thanks
If it is run like the last Whyalla Comp, it will be a free ride event with the top X number of riders having a 30min ish bust out session at the end of the day.
Frothing for it
The event is still in the planing stage, but the date is locked in. One thing you can count on It will be bigger and better than the last comp. The tide is awesome and december is known for good strong breezes.

Definitely will need the 8, most probably need the 12, and hopefully need the 6!!
December usually is 12 and 9m weather for me, January last year was all 9m with a couple of 7m days.
