Hey bro's. heres a write up of teh naki nut buster i held on the weekend.


Well the first day of the naki nut buster was insane.
Wind started of around 8 knots and pulled up to a super clean 15 knots mid afternoon.

The course race was a diamond shape with some rocks and monster puddles to avoid and a fast 50kph down wind run. Al and Perin battled it out until Al broke a line. We saw 2 new buggy racing contenders emerge with Dan taking 2nd and Lawrence 3rd with some solid buggy riding.

Then we had the first ever adventure race. It lived up to its name and was a true adventure. The race went like this. Cruise down the beach, around the boulder wall, cross the river (chest high and 50m wide), avoid the baby head sized rock feild, skirt the thin slither of beach with drift wood direct down wind, watch out for the box thorn hedges, caution look for the rusting steel girders jutting out of the beach (not wide enough for a buggy to go through).then dash the deserted beach to the finish.

Perhaps the first ever buggy race with a river crossing!!. its one of the funniest things i've ever seen!. Perrin, Conrad and Lawrence simply rode their big foot buggies across the river. Thomas ditched his kite in the river and Conrad managed to crash his kite into a box thron hedge and not damage his kite!. Al tried to skirt the river upwind but was foiled and dnfed. Dan threaded the needle through the steel girders with about 3cm to spare on either side, on the deserted beach we were all treated to the mildy amusing sight of 2 naked surf casting fishermen...... Perrin blazed to first Dan 2nd Lawrence third myself Conrad and Shaun followed in after.

We then cranked a distance jump contest. I took out the distance with 21meters and Perrin slamed a 16m jump on his big foot buggy race kite combo. Madness!..

Day 2 was sweeeeeet. Wind pulled up to a solid clean 20 knots all day. Today we had 3 events. Cross dressing time trial, nut stylee and yesturant parking.

nut stylee was an expression session each competitor had 2 mins to wow the crowd. Dan doom laid down an unbeatable smooth doomer room to take the stand up stylee. Brett cudby wowed the crowd with 360's and 2 wheeling to take the buggy stylee.

Cross dressing time trial ment you had to use what ever device you haven't used before. so buggy rider on board or doom wheels, board rider on buggy, doomer on landboard. This was absolutely hilarious seeing the dudes out of there comfort zone. Perrin on Doom wheels was a site to behold!... Brett Cudby took the Crossdressing time trial out with 28.65 seconds. followed by Dan .34 seconds back.

Perrin showed precision of a scaple and sliced up the resturant parking to take the win!!....

All in all a very successfull event.

Ok boys. Location for the nut buster on saturday is Fitzroy Beach. Race HQ will be north of the Fitrzoy surf club. Straight out from the holiday park.

Its going to be a balmy day so stay clear of the crouds near the surf club flags. North of the flagged area is the better end any way.

I'll be on the beach from 11am. race breif will be at 12.30 feature race will start at 1.30. we will shoehorn other activities around this.

Location for sunday is yet to be decided. We will have a dicsussion at race breif.

My Cell is 0274 973 929. Particularily if your comming for sunday your''l need to ring/txt to confirm location.

The general np public are not used to landkiting (its only me actively landkiting in the naki). so take that into account when kiting by random beach users. they will most likely have no idea at all.

Cheers and see you sat... or friday night maybe

Totally agree about kiters and swimmers at Orewa. I kite overseas a lot and in many places, kiteboarding is banned due to inconsiderate kiters spoiling it for the rest of us. It's only a matter of time here.
We need to grow some balls and have these inconsiderate guys on, before they spoil it here too. Its easy to just look the other way but.....
