Wind Wings to be included under Kiteboarding Australia membership
Published Thu 22 Oct 2020
Wind Wings (also referred to as Wing Foiling, Wing Boarding, Wing Surfing) is increasing in popularity across Australia. Similar to kiteboarding it uses the power of the wind to propel riders along the water on a foil or SUP.
Kiteboarding Australia is aware that many of our existing members are experimenting with Wind Wings and is resulting in a large crossover from other water sports such as Surfing, Windsurfing, SUPing and Sailing. As such KA has negotiated with our insurer to include Wind Wings in our existing insurance policy, covering our members with one of the best personal injury and public liability insurance on the market.
We also see Wind Wings as a great introduction to kiting for the younger generation – so if you have children under the age of 18 looking to get into Wind Wings or kiting, make sure you sign them up to take advantage of the great deal we have on offer for Junior Members.
KA are also pleased to announce we are now the recognised national body for Wind Wings and are working alongside the Global Wingsports Association - who KA will collaborate with alongside other National Wing Associations.
Kiteboarding Australia will look for opportunities to include Wing Foiling into our events calendar, training, advocacy and sports development related activities. We will look to engage the Wind Wing community and industry alike to assist in the ongoing development of the sport.
KA are calling for expressions of interest to join our Wind Wing Committee; this is an amazing opportunity to become involved with the direction and ongoing development of the sport as it continues to grow. Please email contact@kiteboardingaus.com.au to express your interest today.
We look forward to welcoming this new sport under our wing.
