Catch you down there!!!
The Onboard Crew :)
so stoked, its going to be massive, can not wait..
Starting tomorrow you can sign up at Onboard Glenelg, get in early to make sure your hoodie is the perfect one..
Just a note, they are small sizes, so order a bigger size than normal.
Windsurfing, Kiting, SUPing, 4WDing, Drinking, Partying, Drinking and maybe some redbull, what else does easter mean to you???
See ya down there.
should be awesome! just hope the conditions turn it on! we have talked about running another "open" final at the end of the day with 5 of the best guys going out to decide the winner. just like we did at states. what do people think???
Only if theres been at least a couple of days wind - I think the way the comp has run in the past creates a good vibe in the water and everyone can sail as long as they want. Not sure if we get one day of wind that crew will want to get out and leave it to the "chosen few" unless it was in the comp sign up rules / comp briefing.
My 2 cents worth
EDIT: I like the concept as long as everyone gets as much time on the water as possible and the "sail off" is around 15-30 mins max
Cheers
Come and sign up at the shop, Below is what the hoodies look like. Avail in Grey, Black and Pink, in Mens S/M/L/XL, Ladies S/M/L/XL and early orders only for youth t-shirts in black 2/4/6/8.
Can you register on line? I might try and get over there this year. Sounds good.
I need a new hoody too.
jumpers have windsurfing and kiting brands plastered all over the back! i think people will get the message. we were pondering about running the final late in the day. like 5. everyone is usually pretty stuffed by then. i just think a final would be awesome to watch and make the comp a bit more formal. it is the biggest windsurfing event on the calender!
Hey guys, if you are having trouble getting into Onboard Surf Shop in Glenelg, you can give us a ring and we will take your entry over the phone, Oh yeah and your hoodie size and colour.. Ph 08 82943866
The sign ups have only been open for one day and we have heaps already, get in early.. its going to massive, with heaps of SA crew coming, and Vic'os crossing the boarder as well..
If your partner or freinds are coming and would like a hoodie and be involed in the friday night party and all the fun stuff, please enter them as well, just under a social entrance..
Just over 6 weeks to go..
Just some photos from last year (ha ha)
Best to be flexible with the structure. If the conditions are dodgy a expression session is good to start with. If solid then a heat structure.
I cannot find any accommodation, the place seems to be booked out. May have to find a place at Beachport or sleep in the car at 3rd ramp.
swags at caravan park?? thats what i was thinking. i have a spare single swag if anyone wants it. or little dip?? not sure whats the go. marty knows! is it good there???
we had to pay a deposit in November to keep the van park site we've had for the past 3 years or they cancel your booking - we just book for the next year while we are there
(I was one of about 2 sites that had a clearing over looking the ski lagoon). .. but paid something like $130 for the privilege. I reckon spend that much and go 3rd's in a house. Divaldo et al has the right idea :)
camp out in the national park thats what i did last year in a camp ground near stony rise it's free
Hi all Vikki and I always stay in Little Dip at the second camp ground in, Long Gully Campground . $6 a night and protected if it really blows up.
We love it all are welcome to join us.
Kym, Phoebe and I are all booked in for Robe, who is comin?
Was in at Onboard today, looks like 45 or so Vics have entered this year! Now I am not going to be happy if our 'lesser' cousins from across the fence take home the trophies! (although, I do like their faces when they drink Coopers beer!)
Get onto it peoples!
definatly going! should be awesome fun. hoping to stay at lakeside caravan park. looking forward to it!
Hey crew, don't forget to sign up early for robe, so you have a chance of getting your hoodie size.. You will need it as winter is on its way..
You can drop in or Call Onboard Glenelg Ph08 82943866
Only 3 weeks to go.... yippy, I can feel the red bull shakes coming on already..
good to see that its advertised as a kitesurfing event and not in the windsurfing events!!!!!?????
it should be in all, Wind, sup and kite.. I dont know why its not...
Its the longest running wave wind surfing event in australia..
Bring it on...
I don't care, windsurfing event, kite surfing event, SUP event it all sounds like a whole lot of fun to me. Ahhh and of course with the addition of a 4WD mission what could possibly add up to a better way to spend Easter, BRING IT ON
Looking forward to a beer and some good times with my windsurfing mates- this event rocks for the social interaction between all groups.
