North Vegas will take out the veterans 45 years and over,
i don't scare easily but my hole tweeted a few times tonight over shallow reef

Don't be too sure of that, I have a Switch Nitro and I am not afraid to use it........

This over 50 will bring his rebels !!!!

Rebel or Edge (flatter kites) will win if someone can throw down big board offs like Jeremie Tronet (with board flips, King of Deadman, etc)
C-kite will win if wind is strong (30++) and someone with big nuts starts throwing loops.

What do people think about how the big air should be judged?

Biggest boost?
Roar from the crowd?
Height plus scariest and dramatic trick?
All above combined?

Cheers

same as King of the Air I suppose. Height and difficulty / risk of trick.

Risk seems to be a big factor in king of the air.

What about an award for the craziest costume.

Biggest stack award...yeh man totally.


dave what about a scoring app...

everyone logs on...collates each heat.

Let the crowd judge...

or is that getting to ambitious.


again....which beach?

I think we Need 2 Categories

Geraldton is very remote - not like the South African comp..

1. Biggest Air - no tricks - just big as you can get, the safety aspect will ensure more people and Pros will participate, rather than wreck their world championship chances..
Also this will ensure continuing support for all us amateur noobs to have a go at it, who will actually be the majority travelling for the Company gear Demos on offer and buying stuff, accommodation, shops, alcohol etc

2. Biggest Tricks - The Pros or Newcomers can strut their stuff..

We Dont need to follow what others do - that will make it Unique to chilled out WA.
Weve all read about the risk factor and why pro riders "Wont enter"

Make it Ours

I Think have 3 categories for big air Two quantifiable
Hieght and Time in the AIr for the not so young
And Hardest Trick for the pros and younger
Gives a good mix and if someone does something really special they can win all 3

Back beach would be good but got a slight onshore factor depending on where you ride. Definitely worth looking at separation pt for the big air if there is some swell. Nice cross shore, smooth on the inside, some real nice kickers on the reef. Great viewing area on the hill and a reasonable amount of beach for setting up at the moment. Get permission to section off the lookout for judging and spono setups. Plenty of parking across the road at the maritime college. Fricken sweet as.

Had a mad session at seppos
on and edge, north coros goes big, I've been checking back beach, has great sections of flat water inside to get blistering speed, then some cracking ramps for take off
This is great though for our event, if one spots better then that's where we're at, we've 3/4 cracking spots all within a couple of klms

My Vegas was going ok last night, mid / high 20s on the 9
getting some training in for the Midwest windfest

45, feeling ok for a 50 year old, backers beach has some great ramps for take off, if the winds going nuts im sure we will see some big ones, i checked it out a couple of days ago close to 30knts, looked the goods and some good looking waves north and south along the beach for the waves comp, surprised with the volume of wind
