Jingle All The Way

We are back with the popular Redkite Santa Downwinder this year. This Christmas, Kiteboarding Western Australia will be bringing back the famous Redkite Downwinder, Santa style, in a bid to raise as much money and awareness as possible for the remarkable children’s charity Redkite.

Where:             Leighton Beach – South Trigg Beach - Meeting at Trigg Beach
When:              Saturday 21st December (Backup date: Sunday 22nd December)

Kiteboarding WA has been supporting Redkite for over 14 years. Redkite provides essential and practical support for families who have a child with cancer across Australia. Over the years, the kite community have successfully raised over $65,000 for this amazing cause, which is truly a huge credit to everyone involved.

This event is the perfect time for you to take part in a downwinder, whether you are a newbie to kiting or an all-time pro on Perth’s best downwinder route. We’ll have safety boats and a halfway get-out point at Floreat Groyne to make sure all of Santa’s sleighs end up back at the after-party! The downwinder will begin at Leighton Beach finishing in South Trigg Beach (17 km) or there will be the option to get out at Floreat Groyne. We aim for a sea of Santas so get your outfits ready and give us your best Santa Claus impersonation!

Once you’ve completed your 17km shift delivering presents, all Santas will get together for a well-deserved cold tinny (BYO), barbecue and refreshments at Surfing WA, Trigg!! Our team of elves have been busy securing a sleigh full of awesome goodies and some spot prizes for the kiters who raise the most money!
