Kiteboarding Australia is run by volunteers and designed for the community. We work with councils to maintain beach access and are always the first to provide support if there is an incident. We accredit schools to ensure high safety standards are in place as well as maintain public liability and personal accident insurance for our members. 

We are volunteers not profiteers. Please join our community.
