23.01.2022 And the Bad www.shorewatersports.com.au is down for the count. No idea whats happened or why yet? But we will get it up & running ASAP. NB I need a really competent pro webmaster - preferably Word Press skilled - to get us sorted & for ongoing tech support. CM is OK just need the back up. If you can do it; or know someone who can; call 0430 966 397 (anytime)

23.01.2022 Sorry. Been a bit slack on here. We are having massive problems with the website. Taking up all my spare time. Might just have to start a new one? Grrr. Any webmasters our there? Current site is Joomla and just cant find help anywhere. Open to a new platform.

23.01.2022 Anyone wanting to join the Downwinder Kite Shuttle message group? Post a request here to join - The NORKs (NOR Kiters).* Someone will soon invite you in. *NOR Kiters is a group message service for anyone to arrange a shuttle for downwinders from Hillarys (sth) to Two Rocks or anywhere in between.

22.01.2022 Who thinks there is something just a little cool happening here. Yeow!

21.01.2022 Big thanks to shore watersports, phil will be doing the downwinder shuttles at the Midwest windfest, also bringing Demo kites from renowned Kite designer DSD ,

19.01.2022 The world is beginning to spin a little faster around Shorehaven Waterfront Park. The kite teaching beach is proving to be an excellent venue. Due South (which it seems is all we get for sea breezes these days?) is about 30degs cross-on. Perfect. Interest in hire gear is kicking in as the far NOR community is catching on to us being there. And the most anxiously awaited See-thru Kayaks are arriving this week. YEAH !!! Explore the Wreck time is nigh!!!

19.01.2022 Welcome Summer Our start-up has been delayed by the new landscaping developments but we are very pleased to advise that we have access to the beach from the 1st day of summer - YEAH. Kayak Hire in the mornings. Kite Lessons in the afternoon. Call or Message for any/all queries.... See you on the beach. See more

19.01.2022 Fun fun fun. On the water and off. Beach games are now part of our kit. Volleyball; Beach Cricket; Giant Jenga; Giant Ball & Bocce.

18.01.2022 The Good & the Bad today. Good - very very good - we have just taken delivery of the first Delirium kites to hit Aust. Its been long wait but theres every expectation it will have been worth the wait. Coming from a world heavyweight of kite design and manufacture (he invented the Rev) we are confident the DSD Delirium will be a winner. Available for demo from Shore Water Sports Alkimos. Or Call 0430 966 397 (anytime) to arrange a time at your local (within reason!...) Rider review coming soon. See more

17.01.2022 Couldnt resist sharing this ride .

17.01.2022 Media Release. Go WA. Australian Freestyle Kiteboarding Titles. It has been 12 years since the Australian Kiteboarding Freestyle Nationals have been in Western Australia. For the first time in Kiteboarding history the title has been run and won at arguably Australia's premier freestyle kiteboarding location, the Safety Bay pond.... Riders turned up from around Australia and were blessed with the infamous Fremantle Doctor for the entire event window allowing the competition to be completed by Saturday afternoon. After Western Australia premier Mark McGowan opened the event, the riders quickly took the water for a jam packed two days of national competition. In the juniors it was local rider Harrison Johnston who stepped up to the plate taking home first place. Harrison ability to ride with power and consistency saw him earn his well deserved title. In the men's draw, competition favourite Ewan Jaspan rode with immense skill combining technical grabs with powered handle passes. Ewan completed the draw despite having an ongoing shoulder injury and respectfully took the number 1 men's spot. We were proud and excited to see equal men and women in the Nationals competition draw. The women's riding has taken a significant leap forward this year with Katie Potter from Melbourne executing 7 out of 8 technical handle pass attempts in the women's final allowing her to take the title. Although no stranger to the competition scene Katie is continuing to progress her riding year on year. In the masters Denys Karantonis took home the number 1 spot with a stylish display wowing the crowd with his combination of manoeuvres. Congratulations to all the riders for their participation and involvement in the event. The freestyle competition scene in Australia is moving in a strong forward direction. The national freestyle series has event stops run by state associations in Victoria, South Australia, Queensland, New South Wales and Western Australia giving riders a pathway to train at local events and move forward to a national competition. Kiteboarding Australia would like to thank all the sponsors from the event: Coco Keeling Islands, Zephyr Tours, Classic Holidays, Department of Sport Western Australia, Zian Kites, City of Rockingham and many more. To the local event organisers at WAKSA including Drew Norton, Becky Bury, Chrissy Gaudieri, Levi Fowler, the rest of the team at WAKSA, all the dedicated volunteers at the event a massive congratulations and thank-you. Editors note: Pic is local kiter Daniel Andersons expression session winning old-school move - deadman board off YEEW!

14.01.2022 If you had any doubt about our claims to having an awesome kite beach just check our new banner pic. Generously donated to us by Mick Print - drone photography. Contact us if you are looking for aerial view pics. How good is this one. The beach to the rear LHS is our teaching zone. 850M of open beach where due south is X-on. Plus all that grass & fresh water showers for a clean pack down. Just add wind. It just doesnt get any better than this!

12.01.2022 Looks like we have had a few visitors wondering what we are up to. Not much! Season 17/18 has come and gone. Please feel free to tune out until Winter chills have passed. We have a whole new program of aquatic adventures now in the planning for 18/19. Hope to see you all back when the news starts to break in Aug/Sept.

08.01.2022 If you are not into kiting you may not have heard. WA is playing host to the Aust. National Kiteboarding Freestyle Titles. A fantastic spectator experience for those who love to see a kite in the sky. The best of the best from all around the country; + some overseas stars; will be WOWing the crowds all weekend. The main action will be on Friday and Saturday then the finals on Sunday. This long weekend at "The Pond" - Safety Bay. About 1km south of Penguin Island.

06.01.2022 And another one today!

06.01.2022 Wasnt meant to be a business booster BUT it seems that theres lots of Far NOR Kiters out there looking for a bit of inter-action. So we have started a msg service for all NOR kiters looking to organise off the cuff (or more likely after work) downwinders. That was complicated so now we have a new FB page dedicated exclusively to posts pertaining only to kiters who also only frequent beaches from Ocean Reef to Two Rocks. Liking NORK Kiters page will get you on the msg service automatically. So like us & join if you are a NORK.

04.01.2022 Edit in ...... It never blows but it gales! Easterly looking like being too strong - grrrr. We will be at the beach by 10 hoping for some lighter wind for a couple of hours. Way too many keen to cater for all - sorry. Ill pick a few names at random and message the lucky ones. Sorry we cant take more but thanks heaps for the support. ... Trial Kayak Runs - tomorrow morning Sun 11th. If you would like to take part please hit the message button above & send thru your name & preferred time. 1st in 1st booked. I will update tomorrows times after 4:00pm today. $10 donation pp - one day of trials only. Cheers Phil.

04.01.2022 Its been a long dark winter but summer is fast approaching. Kayak Hire & Kite School is back for your added beach-time pleasure in 18/19. Every weekend + bonus week days during the holidays. See you on the beach. (weather permitting)

03.01.2022 What would your little tackers reaction be? Yes we do offer tandem sessions at Shore Water Sports Kite School. And NO they dont have to be as fast and furious as this vid presents. We are very gentle at SWS! https://www.facebook.com/kiteBoarding.world/videos/401314986948241/
