I couldn't agree any more or say it any better than Jamie. And I thought Jacks' write-up was brilliant; Thanks Jack!

While agree that the criticism is valid, the bottom line was that we just didn't have enough people to get it all done. Website updates in particular require someone who is computer qualifed. Consequently, we priortized our activities and focused on the contest at hand and put few resources into the website. I must admit that Joe Coyne approached me a few times for update info and I was just too busy to get it to him. Finally, he came to my room to pick the data up personally. I rewarded him by roping him into printing heat sheets for over an hour while I ran off and got some dinner.

Also, I was so impressed and amazed that Darcy and Scott were able to have professional quality audio visual material from the day's surfing up and running every night just 2 hours after the day's competition ended. Absolutely amazing!!

Tom,
way to play possum with the shoulder thing and then win your division. :lol:
i think the underlying theme here is that there was a lot of interest 8)
i hope in the future that there is more heat by heat analysis and updates from a kneeboarders point of view. 8)

That is it!

So much better to have people that take an interest & want to follow what is going on & be a part of it all..... albeit at a distance.......than to have those who are just not bothered!

Right on Jamie. Well put and u really have put everything in perspective. I know that everynight when we got back to John Mels, Mark Mashby and Scoop put together a write up on the days activities and a snippet of the night befores activities. This started from the day that they arrived in Santa Cruz and ended the day they left. This was then posted to the Kneeboard Surfing Australia site and emailed to various other locations including mine in ireland of which I am editing and sending off to the Irish surf Association. Maybe folks whom weren't there should have looked at all the links. On the whole all comments are justified and if it does help that each worlds gets bigger and bigger then it is all good for kneeboarding every where.
