Short Downwinder
|
A little more beginner friendly than the long downwinder, the short
downwinder will go from Floreat to Brighton beach with a nice forgiving
sandy beach the whole way. Just watch out for the drainpipe!
WAKSA will put on a bus which, if we can manage it right, could even
be good for a couple of runs if you get your first one in early enough.
Then cool drinks, a BBQ and a bit of a chinwag should polish the day
off nicely.

WA Chick Kiters
|
The girls will be meeting up again for Christmas at Woodman's Point,
Beach one will be the rendezvous but those who can stay upwind
confidently may test out the offshore side at some point during the
day.
Woodies East Beach - beach one.. excellent spot for those seeking
flat water. Technically it is best suited to intermediate level kiters
as the seabreeze can often be more onshore than cross-shore. But
beginners are encouraged to use Beach 1 as it is, by far, the safest in
this area.

KiteJam
|
This competiton is all about bringing keen and talented riders together
for a great day, to ride hard, have fun, and put on a show for WA to
see what kiteboarding is all about.
The event is organised to be a freeride session, this means that
the riders are free to ride as much as they want, but also encouraged
to take breaks in the competitors lounge for a ringside view of the
action. At the end of the event all competitors will be given the
chance to vote for their favourite riders, the votes will be counted
over a few beers, and the winner decided.
We would love to see spectators make the journey to the event. It
is a great venue for a freestyle competiton, easy road-side access,
parking, shade and sheltered areas are also available. This is going to
be some of the best kiteboarding action that Australia has to offer,
featuring some of the countries top riders, and visiting international
talents.
Location: Safety Bay - Yacht Club
The flat water is great for intermediate
and expert kiters practicing new moves. Beginners who can't yet go
upwind should avoid this spot.

KiteStock
|
Following on from the success of the past two Kitestock events
Kitestock 09 will again be held at Dongara/Port Denison. In 3 short
years Kitestock seems to have been accepted as the essence of what
kitesurfers want from an event. Based around a theme which places all
levels of kiters squarely at the heart of the organisation Kitestock is
run simply around the theme of ensuring that kiters are free to kite as
much as possible. And if kiting isnt filling your day then it is
chilled out, kick back socialising with fully catered partying all
night.
Friday 6th
Registrations will open at the SLSC at 9:00am.
Lunch will be served around midday thru to mid afternoon.
Demo kites and boards available all along the beach.
Kite &/or beach activities TBA
Saturday 7th
Registrations & Breakfast will start around 8:00am.
Beach Activities will run all day until wind o'clock.
Lunch will be served from around midday onwards.
A program of kite &/or beach activities TBA
Sunday 8th
Brunch will be served from a slow start around 10:00 am thru to early afternoon.
