Is anyone wistfully thinking about going to Kingston in 2021? I've had so many travel plans thwarted this year by the 'rona that I am looking at next year Hoping to get there (I found a route that does not go through Victoria) BobM

Must be time for an official 2020 Kingston thread. Dates will be however long you wish to stay up until Australia Day (26th Jan). (later if you wish). Some of us turn up two weeks prior, some one week prior. It's all very casual with no particular structure. I think the Blokarts will be there again this year - if you've got any details of that, pop it in below. Let's hope for a dry claypan and a clean beach. I'm booked in 13th - 26th and will bring a few more single liners this year as the foreshore fly is becoming more and more spectacular every year. Looking forward to seeing you all there.

KINGSTON S.E 2019 Its that time again everyone, to start planning the main event of the Extreme Kites Group. (Correct me if I'm wrong @.Joel as the earliest thread I can see dates 2003) For the last 15 years, kiters have got together for the meet of the year and the best way to start the year with a catch up in Kingston S.E in South Australia. Kiters come from all corners of the country from Experience, WA to Canberra, ACT to buggy the long stretch of beach from The Blackford Drain up to the Granites, or if the weather is perfect, a ride out on the Lake Nadzab aka The Clay Pan. Members usually stay at the Kingston Foreshore Caravan Park for the duration of their trip, a fully equipment park with unpowered/powered sites, basic/delux cabins and decent bathroom and kitchen facilities and on Australia Day, put on a fantastic Ariel kite display for the general public. This is a non-organised event, it just happens as a way to celebrate a great meet up. This year, myself and @igeighty, along with @roblukin are planning on a slightly longer trip over. Arriving onsite on Saturday 5th January 2019 and heading back home on Sunday 27th January 2019. (Of cause we don't expect everyone to stay for 3 weeks, but its general idea of the dates) We have already made our site bookings and are now on the exciting countdown until we can head over. So if each year you've ummed and arrred about heading over, do it and you'll find that you'll return again and again each year as we have. Looking forwards to seeing you all! Mez

We anticipate to arrive Saturday 13th January and leave on Australia Day (as per usual) Who else will be heading over there in January?

Extreme Kites Kingston 2014 Meet When? Saturday January 18th -> Monday January 27th Where? Kingston SE, South Australia. View Larger Map Where to stay? You can camp on the beach, as has been done most years previously. You can also book in to the Kingston Caravan Park, where a lot of people stay either in cabins or camp sites. Social BBQ This was a blast in January 2013, so lets do it again! Once we work out numbers etc we will get more info out there, huge thanks to Jenny & Bull again for letting us have this at their place, it's just up the road from the caravan park. Thinking Saturday the 25th may be ideal, other suggestions welcome.

With all the northerly and easterly wind we've been having in Adelaide, the normal venues for buggying and landboarding (the beach) offer no real option, so I've been using the Clipsal main straight and associated network of paved paths and open grassy space at the former Victoria Park racecourse, in the East City Parklands. There's nice long runs on N, NE, SW and S wind directions on the longboard. The grassy areas seem too soft for the landboard, but OK with the buggy. The open space is just big enough to give you a reasonably smooth wind patern in winds around 10 to 15 knots, despite being surrounded by trees and buildings. In any case, with the low rolling resistance of the longboard, you don't need a very big kite to get going. So who is coming to join me for a fly/buggy/landboard/skate?

On our monthly club fly day in October, we are planning to run a come and try day. Refreshments provided.

Its on again...

Come along...

And I do mean ancient! I haven't done much kiting since the World Cup back in 1995, you could call me one of the victims of what happened around it (although I thought I did a pretty good job as Field Director), but I'm heading over to Adelaide next weekend for Skatetacular, and I thought I'd try and track down some of the old mob. Of course, once I start looking, I can't find any one! I found out that the AKFA fly day is today, so I've missed that! Anne-Marie's sold the shop, Arista has done a(nother) disappearing act, and the rest are just first names, or nick names - Woody, Grant, and so on. On the off-chance that there might be some hanging around who recall the old days, I thought I'd bung a message up here. Oh, I'm Gary Schmidt, if that rings any bells, I used to fly various kites made by Highly Strung (what used to be here in Melbourne) (and if that doesn't age me, what will?!?!?), and a few other bits and pieces. So, are there any left? Cheers, Gary B-)
