Wave Nationals - The Countdown To February 2020
Published Mon 09 Dec 2019
The Kiteboarding Australia Wave Nationals is the pinnacle event of the Cabrinha National Wave Series. The contest will see some fantastic wave riding on the beaches of Torquay. The 4-day event will bring together the community from across Australia to battle it out for the Australian Titles. We are pleased to have the support of the Surf Coast Shire who have supported Kiteboarding Australia to bring the event to their beaches. The Torquay township has many great local accommodation & food locations. In the lead up to the event Kiteboarding Australia will announce a program for evening activities in the town to ensure we will have as much fun off the water as on the water.
In the event of no-wind lay days, Torquay is on the doorstep of the Great Ocean Road. There is a magnitude of other activities to be done including world class surfing, wineries & touring the amazing sights (see below).
