The NSWKBA is a non profit organisation run by NSW volunteers with a love of kiting, with the aim of making kitesurfing more FUN and SAFE in NSW.
We are affiliated with the Australian Kite Surfing Association(AKSA). All NSW kiteboarders who are members of AKSA are automatically members of NSWKBA and vice versa.
We want to link up the "locals" throughout the state and get a good community feeling amongst kiters, with a focus on enjoying the sport safely, rather than getting all concerned about what equipment to use. We plan to do this by:
+ Getting in contact with NSW kiters, finding out where they kite, and what they want the organisation to do for them, it might be help with approaching the local council, help setting up a local club, or help running a comp.
+ Listing the approved kite schools and instructors within NSW so learners can find them easily, and also list "beginner friendly" contacts in each area to make learning easier and safer.
+ Running social get togethers and comps/BBQs
+ Listing local area info showing where to kite and where to avoid, based on local info.
+ Helping run the state titles to allow the states best kiters be recognised and advance to the nationals.
