National Tour Stop II : The Winter Wave Jam

January 18, 2012 in Event Announcement, Slideshow

It’s finally here – the end of winter, and the SKA’s classic surf style wave jam! We’ve got a rare treat in store for you all, with 2 days of jam format competition, and professional clinics led by none other than BKSA wave master Marc Rowley and his team of experts at Blast Kiteboarding, ably assisted by Flexifoil young gun Josh Coombes. As usual, we will have prizes on offer for those individuals that you, the riders, vote for at the end of the weekend.

For the up and coming waveriders amongst you we’ll have an array of top notch wave riding gear on offer for demo purposes; 15 boards from Blast Kiteboarding, 15 kites from Flexifoil and 10 harnesses from Mystic. Expix will be there to document your glorious performances on and off the water.

For the more traditional students amongst you, we’ll also be hosting our own party at L&A Bunkhouses – if you were at the beginners event you’ll know what to expect, and if you weren’t…you’ll just have to wait and see.
