Yeah I remember that day. A lot of people took off and never made it around the first buoy. It took Brian Eagle an hour to set 1 buoy. That was a sick Border Cross.

No reason why we can't put together another 2 part Kite Masters Race.


I agree Mr. Moore, just want to make sure I'll have another chance at tackling the DW!!! LOL!!!

Let me know if I can help.

Would love to help but not much I can do from up here in PC. IF you guys need some website hosting I have some free credits with Godaddy.com, might be able to help you with that!

Too many sharks off of Eggmont........
 
Bayflight, Eggmont would be cool but way too many sharks out there in the channel. I know people ride from NB to Eggmont when the wind is right and I'm dumb enough to race to it. I guess if you started up North and ended at Eggmont, that would work. My boat holds 6 plus gear for the ride back, if I can convince my girlfriend to drive.

Who's Afraid of a Little 'Ole SHARK!

I've gone out to eggmont and back B4 ( on a big windsurfer ) on NW winds from NB. Also done recon with the boat around the island alot. Bottom line is that it won't work. West side is totally unlaunchable/landable, and east side U R restricted to a small patch of sand on the north side since the rest of the island is quarantined by rangers.

Basically the only place you could even be allowed would B the NE corner of the island where the ferry goes and it would have to Bee a N, NE or E wind
with a alot of coordination launching/landing kites

The South corner would B cool since its a big sand bar but its off limits
