To complete a busy summer of kiting we’ll crown the State’s Racing Champions at the end of April with the help of the thriving Sydney Kite Racing Club. Kite racing is exhilarating with tough battles at the marks and and warp-speed crashes, so come watch the action in Botany Bay!
And if you’ve never tried riding a raceboard or a foilboard we’ll have some of the best Australian riders to help you have a go!

The biggest kiteboarding event of the year in NSW is coming this weekend to Sydney shores: the National Kiteboarding League, or NKL, is a national event series aiming to lift the profile of male and female kiteboarders in both Waves and Freestyle disciplines across each state.

After successful rounds in Gold Coast, Adelaide and Perth, the NKL is coming to Sydney from Thursday 21st of January until Sunday the 24th, with the freestyle event at Dolls Point and the wave one at Wanda Beach.

We expect kiters from all levels to join in for 4 days of fun competition, including a Big Air trophy. The top 3 female and male riders of the state will then be invited to the Grand Final in Gold Coast later this year. Your $90 fee (free for young riders) include an event tee-shirt and access to the BBQ every day. The event is meant to attract more people into kiteboarding and offers “Have-a-go- sessions with trainer kites and coaches to your friends and family members.

After hosting in Sydney the successful 2015 Freestyle National Championships, we are glad to see Australian kiteboarding events taking it up to the next level with the introduction of the National Kiteboarding League for the 2015/2016 season.

The 7-round series commences in November, visiting five Australian states and Christchurch, NZ, for a 4-day event in each location, with a professional judging panel judging competitors that goes towards their series ranking. The top 3 male and female riders from each state event will be invited to the Grand Final, where the top ranking rider in both Waves and Freestyle will take out the title of Series Champion and share in a cash prize pool.

We’re excited to be part of this series of high-profile events alongside the other state associations. The NSW freestyle and wave events will be held in Sydney on January 21st-24th, locations TBC. In the lead up to these events Kiteboarding NSW will organise clinics to help riders prepare for the competitions, so stay tuned.
