Unfortunately we couldn’t hold the long awaited Flatwater clinic as the weather just didn’t want to be helpful, even though winds of 30-40knots were forcast, we had very unseasonal off shore or no wind. 

That didn’t dampen the spirits of the registered students who still had a great chance to learn some vital information and technique tweeks and also received a full refund, although some students generously offered to donate their fees to the Victorian Fire Fund.

Dave of Slingshot Kiteboarding travelled from Newcastle to host the clinic with Andy Yates, Chris Wardell, Michelle England and Andrea Blythe.  We were lucky enough to get a little puff of wind late sunday afternoon, just enough to get the new Slingshot RPM into the sky.  Nice kite and by all accounts is going to fill a growing gap in the performance wake/freestyle kiting market. 

Stock is coming any day along with a demo, so check it out in store!

Chris has promised to bring us another Flatwater Clinic but this time with cable included to ensure that the board skills required for wake/freestyle kiteboarding can be passed on no matter what the weather does.
