WHY JOIN?

Joining Kiteboarding Australia comes with many great benefits for kiteboarders and wind wingers. Our membership is structured into two streams: Full Membership (includes both kiting and winging) & Winging only membership. There are different benefits to each tier so choose the right one for you. 
 

KA is a not-for-profit National Sporting Organisation, predominantly run by a group of passionate volunteers. All proceeds of membership are invested back into the sport to develop events and participation opportunities, to advocate to keep your beaches open and accessible, to increase safety awareness and to accredit best in class schools and training programmes. And to make sure our members have world-class insurance.

Join our community because we don’t profit, you do.
 


NATIONAL INSURANCE PROGRAM 
Kiteboarding and winging are extreme sports and whether on the water or the beach, there are risks involved.
 
We have the most comprehensive public liability insurance for extreme water sports in Australia, giving you up to AUD20m in cover. The programme also includes a Personal accident policy. Both policies cover recreational and competitive participation at sanctioned KA events.

For further details regarding the policy - visit the insurance information page here. 
 

ENTRY TO KA EVENTS 
Kiteboarding Australia, in conjunction with our state associations & sanctioned event organisers, runs over 60 events across the country. These include kiteboarding and winging events in various disciplines including free riding, downwinder, freestyle, racing & big air. As a member, you are insured at all kiteboarding or winging events sanctioned by KA.

BEACH ACCESS & ADVOCACY 
Access to your favourite beaches around the country is fundamental to your enjoyment of the sport. KA is committed to representing the sport and supporting state associations with local councils and government bodies to assist with open beach access for kitesurfing and winging.

DEMO EXPOS
