Have a look at www.nswkba.com.au
The association is entirely run by volunteers located around the state.

It has info about how to join and discusses the aims of the association. When you join NSWKBA you also become a member of AKSA, so check out www.aksa.com.au as well. The cost is $60 per year and runs from 1st of October each year. You can join anytime but the membership finishes at 30th September each year, to coincide with the insurance policy.

The main thing people get from the membership is the $10M Public liability insurance, which is especially important when learning to kite.

Hey Lotofwind,
Joining also gives you a great support network of other kiters. You get to meet and learn from great riders. As you know it is a challenging sport so the more info you can get from other kiters is vital for your safety and the safety of others.

We are trying to keep the community close so that people know each other and keep an eye on each other when they go out. Also you can get hints and tips on gear and riding styles from your fellow kiters.

All the best and welcome. PM me if you need any help with anything

Hey Uber,thanx mate.Thats one thing that i have found with kiting is that everyone helps each other out.The local kiters at my beach have really taken me under their wings and give me heaps of advice.You dont get complete strangers helping you out when you learn in other sports(if anything they rip on you)like snowboarding and surfing.I havent met a kite boarder yet that wouldnt sit and have a chat to help clue me in on gear,safety or any other question i fire at them.Good sport,good people.

I'm a member of AKSA - how do I become a member of NSWKSA? Get on your lists? Get the support you describe?
