Cheers

So happy they are putting this together. There are alot of ladies out there that kill it and deserve more attention and credit. Glad to see a big air competition in place where they can shine. Good luck to all and stay safe. I really hope someone can capture some decent video of the event.

Yes, looks like a good day, I did a long downwinder late yesterday and then it blew all night (see chart from Bloubergstrand), will maybe be down a little around midday today, then should come back strong this afternoon, and the swell is big today. If you wear a DECAY hat I could find you on the beach, I'll probably stop by on my downwinder this afternoon.

At beach now, looking like a great day ahead.

In a grey WOO cap Hugh, and I'll be organising Su's Airush Kites.
