Kiting triathlon

[RB]

This has to be one of the most constructive threads in a long while….. Excellent idea

 

I agree with the above, perhaps have 3 people, one for each disapline.. As I don’t know many bug users who could go on water. Obviously this would be on a time basis….. Any scope for the riders to gain points for any tricks thrown in, i.e. they get 5 seconds knocked off their total time for pulling a trick mid run. Just a thought, would give the slower riders a chance to reduce their time by pulling tricks

Hehe wonder what its like to kite surf with a yak haha..

 

 

Phatdan says kitesurfing with the 14m aint too bad

[Frakke1599968664]

I'd be happy to do it...

Can buggy

Can board a bit

Can't kitesurf and never tried it so this woud be more like a kite drag

 

therefore I like the idea of teams

 

have you thought about the distances???

like is there a "recognised distance for a kite triathlon"

this could go in the guiness book of records so think carefully if this is the first EVER kite triathlon the winning team could be a world record holder...

 

then there's the "individual event" where it becomes "the kite IRON MAN" world series..... and so on

 

If we need a long beach what about the beaches fameous for being very long like BRS, Pendine, Pembrey

or as Dee pointed out some of those on the East Coast

Be great to have 2 events run over the same course, teams and individuals.

[KermitStu]

[PieGuy]

If your holding it it aber, try and get in touch with BBC Wales (tv), im pretty sure they will put somthing on tv, if you want that much exposure lol, they are always on the look out for small stories to fill time..

 

Just another idea!

[KermitStu]

nice one piguy will do

On the website (if it's made) you need a way of getting temas together, kinda buggier seeks boarder type stuff, for all the people who might kite on their own/ only know the kitesurfers or whatever. That'll make it much easier to get teams together, so more entries = more money raised.

 

Urb

 

P.S is fund raising through entry, sponsership or post kite beach party?

[wenglish]

fundraising through everything, sponsership if we can, entry and on the bach for sure. everything we can get, its all for a good cause.

[KermitStu]

Hmm, am I missing something here??

 

Wasn't this about THE SAME person doing all 3 disciplines??

 

Has it moved on to become something else?!

 

Clarification for the nation, appreciation,

 

Dee

[wenglish]

this was a suggestion that was made by a few ppl, who arnt capable of doing all three, however it has been considerd and there is the possibility of running two events, one team and one for individual.

so its still the same event but it has more reach. we want to include as many people in this as possible.

hope that helps

stu

[KermitStu]

what he said lol ^

[Westwood]

shirley if u cant do all 3 disciplines then your not triathlon material. same as most ppl in the world are not "iron man" or at least "iron man without lots of resting and eating inbetween" material.
