Hi guys,
Thanks to everyone that came along to the 09 KITESPORTS Challenge, was a fantastic weekend of kiting...
Saturday morning the easterly wind built from 15knots, up to 25 knots by mid afternoon. This made for insane buggy times for the 8km run...
Landboarding... a bit too windy for my liking, but Nathan, Joe & a few others certainly put on a show.
The wave riding was epic Saturday, the waves just getting better as the day went on...
Saturday nights party went off! See ya Sammy
Sunday morning was hard for quite a few....but hangovers aside, the wind kicked in side/side off from the left, the swell was nice & big...8m & 10m kites set us up for a good long session, & yes, the walls of whitewater were as big as a house...hats off to those who went out strapless!

RESULTS:
Fastest buggy time of 8.58, & the winner of the Peter Lynn 6.8m Viper- Richard Pettett
Best Dressed- 1st Joe (wedding dress), 2nd Sam (suit on the water)
Best Freestyle landboarder- Nathan
Wave Master- 1st Cookie, 2nd Julian
Wave Master Female- 1st Sandy, 2nd Ariana

SPONSORS: A big thanks to Peter Lynn Kites, DAKINE, Stance DVD Mag, JACK PACK, Watershed Bar, & The Bach Bar
