All welcome: Sunday Feb 17
Many of us have set the 17th aside as the Freestyles backup day so assuming the comp occurs this weekend, we'll do a downwinder for the fun of it.
10 mins from Strathalbyn, Milang has always been overlooked as Boggy is so close but with little water in Boggy, I've seen the number of kiters steadily increase this summer at Milang.
Flat water, SE seabreezes, no real tides, no real waves, no big 'fish' and heaps of room for rigs makes Milang an attracive option. Plus chest deep water makes it easier for those who are not yet staying upwind.
We'll meet at the Milang carpark down by the water/jetty at 1pm and take a few cars down to Point Sturt and come back across the lake to Milang (about 12kms). I'll have a chat to the Regatta Club down there about some dinner after, but the pub serves a cracking feed as well.
Hope to see you there.
Cheers

Hi all,
Looks like there could be a couple of people heading down to Milang on Saturday and swagging it as it's generally still ridable when there's no wind in town if you're keen. I'll be down that night.
Also a few aren't sure where Milang is...
It's on Lake Alexandrina about 50mins from the Toll Gate.
Basically, you need to get to Strathalbyn either via Mt Barker on the SE Freeway or through Meadows. Head out the SE corner of Strath towards Langhorne Creek and about 5kms out is the turnoff for Milang. Alternatively head towards Goolwa and turn left at Finniss.
On the Milang main drag is the Pub and down below it is the Caravan Pk and the main Carpark. We'll meet there at 1pm on Sunday.
All skill levels are welcome as even those body dragging can practice in the shallows heading downwind from Milang. Those in control of their boards can drive upwind and go down from Point Sturt.
I'll confirm wind conditions on Friday but its almost always rideable down there.
We'll fire up the barbie after for some dinner depending on who's keen.
Cheers
Chappy
Make sure you get down if you can - Milang is an awesome spot, I spent a weekend there a little while ago with 4 good mates and after two days of kiting and a big drinking session every one of us left on the sunday with big smiles.
umm geoff im not sure if u understand how suss that sounds...... im worried about my president and his 4 mates
Actually I think the highlight of that trip was Geoff being on the "gargle blaster vommo express to spewville"... which also sounds pretty dodgy... Good session on the water though.
Sounds Awesome! I will be there for some kitesurfing & beer... (not that other DODGY stuff!!)
Sounds like a go fella's. What time would i need to be there to lend a hand with the car shuffling. My van is always good for carting bulk gear and bodies. Who is likely to make the trip at this stage fellas.
Hi Guys, I'm sort of new to the area but my sister lives in Henley Beach. I'm up for the downwinder and will be driving in my van from Henley so if anyone wants a lift i got loads of room for gear and stuff like that.
UNFORTUNATELY THE NORTHERLY WIND IS LIKELY TO HOLD OUT THE SEABREEZE ON SUNDAY, THEREFORE THE DOWNWINDER IS POSTPONED FOR 2-3 WEEKS.
However, if you are keen to check out the spot, Saturday looks like it'll be SE 20 knots down there. Metro coast is also looking good.
We'll let you know shortly when we'll reschudule it for.
Apologies for any inconvenience but that's the wind.....
Cheers

could get crowded......
KA Speed comp just got moved to Milang Saturday afternoon from the river mouth.....see you there chaps!
Headed to Milang Saturday. Waited and waited for the wind which did not seem like it was going to come and then when we all decided to leave, by pure luck Jordy missed the turn to leave town and on our travels the wind went nuts. A nice solid twenty knots blew for a solid three hours or so and was a nice reward for our patience.
That's rubbish Geoff, It was a calculated wrong turn as I could see the wind line coming across the water. 
I think I got some pics of you guys! Will post em up tonight if they are any good
