I dont get to kite much in Darwin but thankfully the boys made a cable ski.

Alot more solid tricks in this video.
This park is the only thing keeping me from leaving Darwin back to Adelaide haha. I miss the wind!!

I thought that was really good. Lots of effort and plenty of filming done to get all of that!!

Love the color of the dirt around the pond!!!

Good effort.

Darwin or Adelaide... exactly how many mirrors did you smash?? Only joking.

Sick vid, like the varying angles. Is that a private setup or open to the public?

PassingWind...keep that on the down low bro. We dont want the rest of Aus knowing how good the conditions actually are down here in SA. Let them think we are still 20 years behind the rest of the country and dont even know what kiting is, just means more open beach for the rest of us!

As if we don't know! Always looking at the synoptic/wind prediction maps and SA has been rocking!! Very jealous!

From memory the price of a two tower system is close to that of a boat so around 80 - 100k i think? not too sure though might even be cheaper.

Just do what i did, make your own......cost less than 10k its 150m between the towers and 9m high. This pic was taken doing some early testing on it.

its open to the public.

The fellas that set this up, 3 sparkies, it cost them around 100k but they already had land and an excavator So that made a HUGE difference for them. Theyre going to build a 6 carrier system in the next couple of years, a dirt jump track, foam pit, boat hire....and yes....they have a hovercraft :)

There is talk of filming quite a "production" showing some unique things that you can only get away with in the territory and getting some pro riders up. That could be a while away though.
