Join the 2025/2026 Australian Wave National Championship in WA!

Kiteboarding Australia, in conjunction with Kiteboarding Western Australia, is excited to be hosting the Wave Nationals in Margaret River as part of the Kiteboarding Australia National Wave Series.

The contest will see some fantastic wave riding at the iconic Main Break, Margaret River. The 4-day event will bring together the community from across Australia to battle it out for the Australian Titles. 

Margaret River has many great local accommodation & food locations. In the lead-up to the event Kiteboarding Australia will announce a program for evening activities in the town to ensure we will have as much fun off the water as on the water.

In the event of no-wind lay days, there are many other activities to be done, including world-class surfing, wineries & touring the amazing sights.
