KITESTOCK MMX

Dear All passionate kitesurfers,

WE are just coming back from the biggest kitesurfing event in the south Hemisphere.  It happened Here , yes right here on the mid coast of Western Australia. Dongara, 380klms North of Perth, was the place where the sun, Elios the god of wind giving us 20/25 knots solid from 10 am, the beach and more than 350 kiters join all together to have a week end of fun.

The Event was fantastically organised by the WAKSA, The Western Australian Kitesurfing Association. With a bunch of volunteers those guys delivered a fantastic event for us to enjoy. 

The location was awesome, the friendly competition were great. Imagine riding beside Pro riders’ nationals and internationals all day long and pick their brains. Being part of an Epic downwinder of 25 klms, a big air competition , a kiteloop comp, a surfers comp, body-dragging race and much more….Nevertheless that couldn’t happen without  the generosity of many sponsors… 8 kites were given away , 7 boards, trips to Bali , clothing collections….It was insane…. On top of  the kids were not getting bored, with small kite flying demo, treasure hunt and a sand castle competition. It was the place to be for the entire family.

Omg did I mention the Parties; yes I know we are all responsible. I may say that being able to gather re all those people for dinner was great. Great place, venue, band, drinks good atmosphere and meeting people from around the globe. Most of all the pleasure was to see so many aching bodies and still having a great smile.

Once again and for the 5^th year in a row, Kitestock Western Australia ROCKS. We will indeed return next year, until then i still smile of the epic memories of riding down under.
