Guys!

Date of the State Champs are confirmed. We will be hosting these on March 3rd / 4th (next weekend) at St Kilda Westbeach.

This event will be a freestyle event across the following categories:

-Junior
-Master
-Open
-Ladies

Hoping to see as many as you down at the event as possible. Promises to be a cracking weekend. Entry is free for all KBV members. If are not a member of KBV, you can join at www.kbv.org.au before the event. We will also have a laptop at Westbeach for anyone needing to join on the day.

There will also be an instructor showdown on the Sunday. So if you want to see who is the 'best of the best' of the local instructors - call down to see what could be the the most interesting event of the kiteboarding season.. ;)

More details to come this week regarding schedule of comp. Reach out to us at [email protected] for more info.

Stay tuned!!

Thanks,
KBV

Hi Everyone,

Just to confirm some logistics ahead of the weekends comp:

Eligibility:
- You must be a KBV member and comp is free for KBV members
- Juniors: Must be under 18 as of June 7th this year.
- Masters: Over 35 as of June 7th this year

You can compete in as many comps as you are eligible for.

King of the Bay:
Depending on wind - we may also run a King of the Bay comp (Big Air).


Schedule:


Saturday:
- Registrations are from 09:30 - 11:00
- Rider Briefing: 11:30
- Comp Kick: 12:00 (subject to wind)

Sunday:
- Registrations: 10:00 - 11:00
- Rider Briefing: 11:30
- Comp: 12:00 (subject to wind)

The wind is going to dictate the weekend events so please be flexible. In terms of location - we don't plan to move locations (due to the need for permits). We have permission for alternative dates (following weekends) at St Kilda if the wind doesn't show. We'll post updates on our facebook page and here before the event and over weekend so people can stayed clued in.

Fingers crossed the wind comes good! We'll post final logistics up on Friday so you all know what's happening.

Hope to see you all this weekend!

Thanks,
KBV

Guys

Due to tomorrow's forecast being E-NE 15-20 from midday and potentially squally, we will be cancelling the Saturday session this weekend for the state titles and running the event on the Sunday. We will make a further announcement tomorrow once we have a firm view of Sunday's forecast.


Thanks,
KBV

Guys, unfortunately we have had to pull the rip cord on tomorrow's state titles. We hope to run the comp next weekend in the same format. The wind is coming in too late tomorrow to run the full event.

It's unfortunate but the weather just wasn't with us this weekend. We will post an update on our website, Facebook and here Monday.

Any queries - please reach out to us at [email protected].

Thanks,

Hey Andy,

The intention is to roll this event over to this weekend. We are confirming with the council today whether this is possible. Our preference would be to run the event on the Sat/Sunday and not the bank holiday but we will confirm details once we have agreed with the authorities.


Thanks,
KBV

Guys - we have confirmed that the States can run this weekend at St Kilda Beach, which is great news. The format is exactly the same as recently posted. We also have the Bank Holiday Monday available as contingency but we hope we won't need to use this. Hope to see you all down there.

Sunday will be a later start due to a triathlon at St. Kilda (3pm) but we'll confirm Sunday's schedule here later and at the rider briefing on Saturday.

Please spread the word!


Thanks,
KBV

Is my forecasting great at the minute for tomorrow - early morning looks good and then it does off. However, there is a decent base wind there for the day and with a bit of a seabreeze we might do alright. More updates on conditions and comp throughout the day on facebook.
