This course is a great opportunity to get into the sport of kitesurfing. Most students take approximately 6 - 8 hours to go from total beginner to basic board start. Obviously ongoing practise is needed to grow in ability, but this course is designed to develop the safety skills and confidence for independant kiteboarding.

We teach in some of the greatest locations on the Sunshine Coast and all our board riding lessons are held on flat water within the strictest IKO safety guidelines. If you are looking for professional personal kiteboarding lessons, then contact us for more details by email or call the shop on 07 54556677

Join Slingshot and Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia as they host a flat water clinic right here in Noosa.  Pro riders including Andy Yates, Chris Wardell and Dave Sorrensen will be instructing over the two day clinic.  Spaces are limited and there is a minimum skill level required to ensure you get the best out of the sessions.

Demo Slingshot gear will also be available for the sessions, so don’t miss this great chance to learn from professional kiteboarders who specialise in flatwater freestyle and wakestyle moves.

This event established by Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia in 2005 has been growing each year with this year the full 60 competitors ready to race plus registered competitors on standby.

The wind conditions were not in our favour this year, but that didn’t stop the skilled and dedicated few from giving it a go.  Nearly 20 competitors from division one attempted the start with only 5 successfully making their way out over the breakers in the very light conditions.

Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia team rider Aden Back was the youngest to make it on to the water but unfortunately wasn’t able to finish the race.  While Jess Embling the only female to take to the water after division two was cancelled due to safety concerns showed the onlookers how it should be done.  Both Aden and Jess took out cash encouragement awards donated by SEQKA.

Major prizes donated by Slingshot Kiteboarding and M8 kiteboarding were taken home by Brisbane competitors Rodney Eggins & Brendon Mitchell.

1st and 2nd in division one received cash prizes donated by SEQKA while 3rd and 4th took home prizes donated by Pro Limit.

Winner - Keahi de Aboitiz

2nd - Scotty Johnson

3rd - Simon Mc Dermott

4th - Kevin Johnson

Many other competitors shared in great prizes draw out of the hat and donated by Cult Industries, KSA designs, Hive Swimwear, Ben Wilson Surfing, Adventure Sports Kitsurf Australia and competitors bags were full of prizes donated by KBM, Bli Bli Ski n Skurf, FCS and the Coolum Kitesurfing Committee.  Special thanks to our major sponsor Kula Beach Shacks.

Events like this don’t happen with out the help of volunteers. Thanks go to Kylie, Mike from Noosa Kiteboarding school, Rah from Rahini Images, the jetski support team of David and Glen and the finish line team of Niva and Hayley.

Special guest Rebecca Colefax (Nicholson) former KPWT Champion of 2003 gave an inspirational talk and helped the ladies who attended with advise and support.

Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia’s senior instructor George Tarr and Noosa Kiteboarding’s senior instructor Mike Burrell took small groups of ladies through some trainer kite practise while Rebecca suported the more experienced kiters with information ranging from harness choice right through to how to start on those freestyle moves.

Rebecca then gave a final motivational question and answer time for any ladies considering kitesurfing along with the ladies who had started in the sport but had not yet progressed to board riding.

For more information about future clinics or to talk to female kiters, then give Adventure Sports Kitesurf Australia a call where Fiona, joint owner and kitesurfer would be happy to answer your questions and offer FREE advise and support.
