i chose to compete only Saturday and in the website say you have to be insure and they will check prior .... i was insured on the day
My Opinion about NKL is 5 comps whit no prize for the winners , the only one that wins any thing is David De witt and his friends that gets to travel around Australia well planed retirement trip
Should just use all this money and make one big comp whit some decent prizes for the winner that would attracted much more people
that is basicly how i see EVERY sporting competition, but especially kitesurfing where organisers and there friends get hotels flights booze COMPED and everyone else who they MADLY try convince to compete are the ones paying for it all. were talking government grants comp sponsors all sorts of ****. i have seen the figures first hand that you can pull if your half smart about doing a comp there is all sorts of tourism grants (but GUESS WHAT! you have to be an "organisation" to get them *edit every bull**** kiteing org that just wants moneys name here* ) that you can get ontop of all this.
and the costs? with all these "semi comped" volunteers? absolute bugger all. oh but the logo designer spent 50 hours doing the logo ohhhhh and we ran fundraisers on our days off for the event etc etc etc at the end of the day a handful of friends get to party it up and walk tall at everyone elses expense.
i dont really have a problem with it at all, i really dont. i just want them to be more transparent and honest. if there was complete transparency on it all i would have no qualms about it.
personally brazilnuts i think its pretty **** you werent allowed to compete, but you should of just been the smarter man and not thrown these sharks a few steak dinners. i see a bit of anti brazil **** on here and i wouldnt be surprised if that had a little part to do with it. probably worried australias best kitesurfer would be brazilian or something hahahaha
