It's official ! SA Freestyle Titles Dec 6th 2014 in Whyalla with a back up day on the 7th. Brought to you by SAKSA & Xtreme Kites & Paddle.
Looking forward to see some nice flat water riding with hopefully strong sea breezes and all the crew from around the state.
This is going to be a super fun event with also some Sup Racing in the morning (semi pro's and amatuers) and a fun St Sup Race to join the festivities with an all mighty presos and party on the saturday night .

Ok Crew ...as Jordo from SAKSA would say "It's on like donkey kong with ping pong".
State Freestyle Titles def a go ahead on Dec 6th 2014 in Whyalla. We have the Whyalla Council helping with sponsorship and Whyalla foreshore will be ready to rumble.
All the usual catorgories along with the sup races in the morning. SAKSA will be running the BBQ for all competitors along with catering from the Beach Cafe and food vans. We always pull a huge crowd of at least 1500 spectators in Whyalla for our comps so we will also have a jumping castle for the nippers and Bubble Soccer for any keen players. I'm planning on knocking Martin Bone right out of his bubble so he doesn't smash us oldies in the Masters ! It would also be great to see Croc in a bubble still in his wedding dress...
It's time to book some accommodation - Whyalla Discovery Holiday Park smack bang on the foreshore are also helping out with sponsorship and are offering 10% discount when booking for all competitors and family , let's support these guys. An added bonus is the Preso's and afterparty will be no more than 50m away at the Westlands Soccer Club who will cater with Charcoal Chicken & salads. The bar will be cranking on friday / sat night with Shooters only $5 all night and they will open til 1am for us with a pool and table tennis table so we can all gang up on Howdou the ping pong magician ! If you can't get into the park Whyalla Foreshore Motel are also offering a great discount.

How old do I have to be Easto so as not be up against you in the masters.
Keep younger than 35 EB if you don't want to play with us old guys. 
Can't wait should be a great event.
It will be worth the trip just for the charcoal chicken that's one thing Whyalla does best. It's the only town i know of that sells charcoal at every grocery store, and every true local has a modified laundry sink in there back yard to cook Whyallas very unique charcoal chicken on. 
I remember being 35 better get some more training in then 5 days on offer this week.

Kickass my leave has been approved for the comp time to book a site at the caravan park and load up the trailor/esky, with just over 5weeks to go I'm going to need some practice........and if I get sick of drinking I might even try out my new kite.
