This is a longer race, zig zagging across Jervis Bay and finishing up just off Huskisson Beach. This event is open to Foils, Surf Boards, Twin Tips and anything else you can ride under a kite. It begins with an official start and after entrants have crossed the start line, they’ll proceed around the zig zag course buoys, basically crossing from one side to the other of the bay until the final buoy, then it’s a simple dash to the finish line to claim your award.
As this race is a means of moving the kites to the other side (Event Central) for the free style comp, choose your gear wisely or arrange for your free style gear to be on the other side.
