The KSA AGM is on again tonight, 7PM at the Grange sailing club!

KSA will put on the pizzas for members (5$ for non members), the bar will have plenty of cold drinks at 1950 prizes, and we promise to keep the boring stuff to a minimum. It will be a great night to catch up with everyone after this cold winter!

It is an important night for KSA, as it’s when the new committee is voted in. If you think you would like to be a part of the committee, put your hand up. We meet once a month at the Grange Sailing Club (typically the first Monday of each month) for an hour or so.

With the days getting shorter and the temperature slowly dropping, the wave riding season is around the corner! We at KSA are getting super keen to swap the twinnies for surfboards, and chase the long awaited winter Northerlies and winter swells :)

With that in mind KSA is excited to announce the 2016 State Wave Titles, which will be held on 10/7/2016 at Moana on the mid coast.

As always, you don’t have to be going for the title to enter. KSA’s emphasis is on participation and having all riders out on the water enjoying themselves throughout the weekend. You never know, you might just walk away with a sick trophy or prize for just being there, getting involved, and giving it a shot. It’s all about sharing the stoke!

With the days getting shorter and the temperature slowly dropping, the wave riding season is around the corner! We at KSA are getting super keen to swap the twinnies for surfboards, and chase the long awaited winter Northerlies and winter swells :) .

As always, we have this large window to be able to pick the best conditions possible, and the location will be chosen a few days before the event, so stay tuned for more info.

As always, you don’t have to be going for the title to enter. KSA’s emphasis is on participation and having all riders out on the water enjoying themselves throughout the weekend. You never know, you might just walk away with a sick trophy or prize for just being there, getting involved, and giving it your all. It’s all about sharing the stoke!

Once the sign up link is live, we have the following categories you can sign up for:

-Juniors, <18 years

-Amateurs, anyone keen to give it a crack, no unhooked tricks, no shop riders, no previous place getters

-Open Women, 18 +

-Open Men, 18+

-Masters, 35-50

the KSA committee

 

Would you like free entry to the 2016 KSA Wave Titles this year? Want to win a sweet prize? Are you keen to make your mark on the kiteboarding scene in SA? Well, now is your chance!

This year, we would like to get YOU involved in the design of our next logo we print on our merchandise for the 2016 KSA Wave Titles!.

The Rules:

-The logo must represent the sport and be in the best interest of the sport

The logo must show off the ‘Wave’ discipline

The logo must include the text ‘2016 KSA Wave Titles’

Extra points will be awarded if the logo also has a South Australian ‘feel’

Of course you can have colours in your design for print and on social media, though remember that printing is often is a white print on a dark colour, or black print on a light colour, as printing in different colours increases the costs for sign ups and KSA always aims to keep the cost as low as possible for everyone.

The winner will be chosen based on the design, professionalism and popularity. Likes on Facebook, bribes, and comments will be taken into account. If you print your design and bring it to the Pizza night on 6/5/16, comments and votes for your design will also be taken into account. Please post your design on the Facebook event page https://www.facebook.com/events/633202980168874/ or bring it along the our pizza night, entries close COB Friday the 13th of May.

The committee will then choose the rightful winner by the 27th of May.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone will come up with!

Cheers

The KSA committee

Ps. Did I mention bribes accepted ;-)… haha.. Happy designing everyone!
