SAKSA Members are invited to participate in the 2011 Adelaide Kite Festival.

The Adelaide Kite Flyers Association is running the event, and we want to make it inclusive of all aspects of kiting in Adelaide. SAKSA has been offered space to set up an information stall for the weekend - details are being sorted - hopefully you can rotate supervision duties so that Troy doesn't have to sit there all day!

For the rest of the SAKSA boarders, it would be great to see you putting on a show on the water on the Saturday and/or Sunday afternoons. This is your chance to (legally) kitesurf Semaphore Beach. There will be thousands of spectators on the jetty - get your mates to take photos!

The Kite Shop is a sponsor, but since they don't trade in kitesurfing gear any more, there are potential sponsorship / advertising opportunities for the other shops (Onboard, Nobile?)

OK the weekend weather forecast looks great for a Kite Festival - not crankin conditions for a kitesurf, but the southerly airstream might give us an 18 knot seabreeze if we're lucky. I'm always optimistic.

Bastien has offered some great accessories which we will be giving away to kiteboarders who put on a show. If the wind is light, then Semaphore Beach is as good place as any to do the walk of shame. If there's no wind, then whoever sits in the SAKSA tent and answers the public's questions will get the prizes..... "is it hard work on your arms?" ...... "how much do the kites cost?"...... you know the drill.
