G'Day Ian,
After speaking with Mike and Andrew of AKSA via several emails, I can tell you that the nationals is definately split into two seperate events.
The Wave nationals will be in Kwinana, Queensland and the Freestyle will be in St Kilda, Victoria. I think AKSA are still making their mind up as to whether to have an overall champion, but good sense and fairness would dictate that there should probably be two seperate champions and no overall.
I guess we will have to wait and see what happens and trust the people who are running the events to put on a fine show. The bickering is pointless now as the decisions have been made and are not going to be changed irrelevent of how much protesting there may be. So I suggest we take a proactive approach and ask what we can do to make this years events successful.
The wheels are in motion, it's time to get behind them and lend a push!

Hey it's windy today with a big swell, I've got a new board to test and I'm goin' kitin' YAY!

Good winds to all
