The format in between races will be like Mambo, we want people out riding as part of st kilda fest and showing the 500,000 people there that SUP and Kite are the two coolest sports on the water.

So you're saying parking could be a challenge.

yes parking will be a challenge on the day. The best thing to do is park at St kilda west beach or portobello and paddle around to the comp area.
This will give you a nice warm up before the event.
So far as prizes we have:
1> trip to Safari Lodge Fiji
2> trip to far north QLD
3> Coreban paddles and other gear
4> Rash tops
5> Store vouchers for Katani, Kite Power, Kite Republic
6> Electric skateboard
7> Quicksilver wetsuit
8> Island Inflatable Pump
9> Kahuna long board
10> CrazyFly kiteboard


Thanks to everyone who has called to pledge support for this event.
Details of more prizes, fun events and guests to come.

If anyone else wants to be involved let me know by email [email protected]. We want this to be a free and fun event.

Hey Woody,

Drag out your 12'6, like the Vicco Titles might turn into a 3km BOP style buoy race.

We have learned to come prepared as things often change!

Sounds like a good day! You might still be able to get a park on the road there if you're there early
at least thats how it used to be but I haven't been for a couple years.

I remember doing a kitesurf demo for Coca Cola at St Kida fest in the year 2000! 2 line kites, flippin over
the pontoon and high fivin' people standing on the pier. I think the only guy still kiting today is Felix.

SHQ have made a decision to have a Masters Division in their event, We would assume that the St Kilda Festival SUP Event will now do the same and open the event to all age groups.
