Many thanks to Darren, Drew, Lee, and all the WAKSA committee members, the volunteers, including Vicki & especially Ruby for making KS 2014 a great weekend.

Personal experience tells me it always helps running a kiting event when you have wind, & this year the was good wind across all three days. The Epic Downwinder was once again, EPIC & a personal highlight.

Many thanks to all the sponsors & supporters, including local kiteshops, and big thumbs up for everyone who made it up to Dongara this year. Will post pics later when I've emptied the car of South Beach sand.....

Well done also the WAKSA team behind the scenes, committee members Murray, Steven and Gareth.
Also a special mention to Candice and Fran who helped as volunteers and everyone who volunteered along the way.

Finally a big thanks to Drew, Leigh, Jaselyn and Murray who were at the event.

Thanks to you for making Kitestock, well Kitestock

Kitestock is billed as an international event.
Maybe you should just be in the newbie section

It's not a PKRA event

so why is it international? To whom? Meh!

and the brazilians

baha, I kite with people from South Africa, New Zealand, EU weekly - I guess our local sessions are international!

Many thanks to the Kitestock crew again for putting on a great event. These are just a selection of a few hundred shots taken over the weekend.

Thanks. Sorry no idea what that board is. The knee brace is a custom CTi, I think it is to help with an ACL injury stabilisation. The guy wearing it is Olly Brunton a kiwi and Ozone/Axis team rider I was travelling with.

hi kitepower steve - great photos!

a couple of questions if yourself or anyone out there can help:

curious what board the guy strapless punting in photo 8 is on?
what kind of knee brace is that in photo 13, and what structural deficiency is it helping? acl?

bit of a long shot, but thanks for any replies...

shame there wasn't a bit more swell up there for the crew.

cheers

It looks like a stretch tufflite to me
