With the collaboration of all Kite shops in Table view I would like to announce the Oxbow Wednesday night racing series.

First day of racing is the 7th October 2009 and there will be 9 consecutive racing Wednesdays days.  Followed by a prize giving at Mojo.
Entry forms will be available tomorrow at all shops. Pre race registration will start at 16:30 at Mojo and closes at 17:15. Starting time is @ 18:00 in total the course should take +- 30 min to complete.
More information will be posted in the coming days.

Thank to Oxbow , Vitamin Water , Glide & Rogz as well as all the shops for support.

Cool, this would be great, just I normaly have regular sailing on Wednesday to go to but if it ever gets blown out this would be a great alternative

You mentioned on you mail - 1st day of racing is the 9th - thats a Friday...

Either way - well done for taking the innitiative and doing something like this...sounds great!

Sorry it is the 7th

Sounds like fun. What is the course going to be ?

Excellent idea - I like it!!!  What's the proposed course and what will it cost to enter?  What beach is it from. e.t.c. C'mon - we need details!!!!!

This is gonna be cool thats for Sure!


Ok Just a few questions, i havent been ariund and am not updated on the latest!


1. Entry Fee?

2. Course Lenth?

3. Starting in front of Mojo yes?

4. Bi Directional & Directional Classes? Will you have also diffent Rankings for Juniors, Women & Men & Seniors or All in One rankings?

5. Any prizemoney? Per Event or end of the series?

6. Also discards, its hardly possible for everyone to be there for all 9 events, especially alot of the CT/LBN guys who will be in Luderitz the whole november.... So How many discards and so on, whats the story??

7. entry limit? Are you guys going to limit the entries? or is it going to be as big as possible? And if its huge, will you split starts? or do en masse as with a long distance event? Just asking , most of us dont know these things.....


See you all on the water!

Peace!

Hi

At the moment I am not sure if we will have prize money if there is some money left over at the end sure.

As for the start Olaf van Toll will sort that out and it is not limited , the only limitation is directional board to TT boards and those are the two rankings.

The general idee is to have a fun racing event for every level of rider and to have some drinks after that.

Good initiative - is there a rulebook or refferal to what rules you are racing by?

Lot's of scenarios will play themselves out and Olaf V T should know that if it gets competitive there will be disputes.

Please make sure we don't make up the rules after the fact as has happened in previous races.

Premature starts have always been the single biggest stuff-up and it needs to be handled correctly or the whole series will be a flop.
