I've never experienced any x-aches from the water in the Gorge.
yeah the demographics is very friendly, 30% female now I would say and they rip!
This year was mostly waroo's, 50-60% I'd say, compared to last year was only 20-30%. The rest is pretty evenly divided SS, Naish, North and Cabby.
Most everybody kites the event site spit, number wise, rufus should be fun. small pebbly bch but nice desert scenery with only a few other people to kite with.
definitely getting that place in lyle for summer relief!
