The ACDC event will be wrapping up around 5pm just as the strong winds will be picking up, which is perfect for kiteboarding and windsurfing.

Last year, this ACDC event attracted over 500 people to Canal Beach, so, there will be lots of spectators on the waterfront, if people want to come and kite and windsurf that day, it will be a good time to join the party in PA.

Our local community is still abuzz from the daily wind shows and South Port Kiteboarding Open House a few weekends ago. Thanks to all of the wind peeps who venture over the hump for their wind fix in our PA mid-island hotspot :)
