NSWKBA News

Tee Shirt sizes are all back in stock! 

NSWKBA has taken into account recent issues and issued a new Code of Conduct for all NSW kiters.  We hope that all members read and take on board all the information in the new document. We hope that this helps keep our sport fun for many years to come.

Code of Conduct.pdf

The course kiting went really well on Friday Jan 8th, with about 15 kiters taking part in several races. Rich Stenning was amazing on his strapless surfboard, and Priya Mohandas cleaned up the womans race! Big Col put in a fine effort for a one eyed relic. Everyone avoided kite tangles and were impressed by how tiring and fun it was to chase everyone around a few buoys. A massive thanks to Steve from Kitepower for providing the safety boat. See you all at the next event.

Happy to year to all from the NSWKBA Team
