Join the 2024/2025 Australian Wave National Championship in NSW!

Kiteboarding Australia, in conjunction with Kiteboarding NSW Australia and Merimbula Sailboard Club, is excited to be hosting the Slingshot Wave Nationals in Merimbula as part of the Kiteboarding Australia National Wave Series.

The contest will see some fantastic wave riding at the iconic spot along the Sapphire Coast, Merimbula. The 4-day event will bring together the community from across Australia to battle it out for the Australian Nationals. 

Merimbula is a town loved by many and home to the Raging Bull Surf Merimbula Classic, the oldest kiteboarding event in Australia. The location has many great local accommodation & food locations and there will be plenty of entertainment in the best traditions of this hospitable town. In the lead-up to the event, Kiteboarding Australia will announce a program for evening activities 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, including world-class surfing, other watersports and amazing sights.
