Thought you guys may like to know the kite surf comp in Mackay Aussie is going sweet.. For some reason they did not have heats today.. Seemed like ever one was just having fun on the water.

Started off bloody cold but sunny.. Strong SW winds (not normal direction) but great for inside the river mouth.

I have taken heaps of photos.. but not sure were to upload them to show you guys. may place them on NZkiteboarding.com

Great spot. !!
