Development Clinic One Lift your riding
Girls and guys wanting to learn how to unhook, boost higher or learn new hooked tricks, get involved! Kiteboarding WA in conjunction with West Oz Kiteboarding and Duotone are helping to take your riding to the next level with this development clinic.

Riders must be a member of KiteboardingWA (WAKSA/KA) and have a minimum standard of riding including: being able to ride upwind, handle most conditions, be comfortable with normal jumping and have no issues with relaunching. Riders can expect small friendly groups with expert coaching from past national champions and professional Duotone rider Dan Anderson.
Registration is essential and riders will be provided with a free Duotone hoody and tee shirt to get your stoke going! The clinic will be held at The Pond, Safety Bay on Sunday Nov 18th. The clinics will run from 1-5pm with riders meeting on the grass outside the new WestOz Kiteboarding headquarters (formerly WA Surf). The clinic is free of charge but all riders will need to be current members of KiteboardingWA aka Kiteboarding Australia for insurance purposes. If you sign up now, you will be entered into a draw to win a free kite! (Competition ends 30th Sept 2018).
