Re: 1,400km solo downwinder in Western Australia, 80% comple

A few dramas yesterday... Harness_IanYoung1.jpg Surprise to me, I get a call from Ian a little while ago. No idea that he'd left 3-Mile came as the GPS tracker had not been updating on the web. Just when you think you've done the hard bit and the easiest and most hassle-free part of the journey is n...

1,400km solo downwinder in Western Australia, 80% complete.

In case you haven't already heard about this, Ian Young, the first kitesurfer in Australia and a former Special Forces (SAS) soldier in the Australian Army, is now about 80% of the way through a solo 1,400km downwinder from Perth to Exmouth on the far NW Coast of Western Australia. 2_IanInGero10Nov2...

Re: GoPro Hero Camera

What the hell, Robbo :lol: Ahhh.... Never even saw it coming! Had just kited out over a pretty big set and along the way I noticed that Aya had lost her board on the previous wave and was in the water, trying to get back to her board; I did a carve from heelside to toeside and came back to catch th...

Heaps of new kitecam pics from Australia

IMGP8055.JPG IMGP7926.JPG IMGP7887.JPG The winter wind drought in Sydney finally broke last week and we've had some fun sessions in the surf with reasonable wind and waves.

Re: After sale service

The Slingshot guys are sensational with after sale service -- anything I've ever had go wrong with a SS kite, (and it's been virtually nothing other than a defective bar and leaky valve like the one in the video) they've sorted out immediately, no questions asked. That's a lot more than I can say ab...
