WAVE TITLES, Its on again
Compete against all the top riders in South Oz
or come watch the best wave riders in the state.
The State Wave Titles have been moved to winter again this year to make the
most of the colder frontal weather and hopefully some serious wave action.
To ensure that we get a result, once again we've taken the unprecedented step of
locking in the 4 weekends of June 12/13 , 19/20 + 26/27 & July 3/4 . The
first weekend with appropriate wind forecasts will be the day the event is
held and it'll be an early start (around 8am). The general location will be on
the Mid coast with a backup on the South Central coast; we'll announce
specific locations closer to the event.
All of the usual categories will be available: Open Mens & Womens, Masters,
Amateurs & Juniors. There will be an earlybird registration incentive for
those who sign up on line, so for all the die-hard wave riders, keep those dates free.
So get on it crew, start practising for this great event and see ya there.
Keep your eye on the website forum for more details!http://www.saksa.com.au/ 
I am thinking of entering the amateur event can someone tell me if I need to ride a directional surfboard to be in with a chance or are twin tips ok.
Also what sort of trick and moves are you expected to do in the amateur event?
for example I cant do handle bar passes and struggle with kite loops.
Seasquirrel this is the wave titles not the freestyle titles therefore handle passes and kiteloops arent whats being judged. You can enter on your twin tip however generally what the judges are looking for is someone on a directional board who is actually surfing the wave ie using the power of the wave, not the kite to generate power. Its all about how many turns you can get in on a wave, how vertical the turns are on the face of the wave, etc. Strapped or unstrapped, hooked in or unhooked are all judged differently but as Loverboy said its all about getting out there, giving it a bash and having some fun in the Ams.
Hope that helps.
Don't forget to sign up soon guys,girls and juniors. This is a great event for all the wave riders out there and anyone else slightly interested in getting into the waves. Come down and say hello if you are new to the sport, it is a very welcoming atmosphere at all our events.
Get on it, Cheers Croc
Get Onboard and come compete, support or help out it'll be a great event. Hope to see you there
Hey guys and girls, the State Waves will not be on this
weekend due to poor conditions. Hopefully the wind and
wave gods give us some epic conditions the following
weekend.
Keep an eye on SAKSA web site or join us on facebook for
Updates.
Cheers Croc
Hey guys and girls, tonight is the last night to pre-register. So jump on the SAKSA website and sign up now. Its only $20 to enter this year and you don't need to pay till the day of the comp, you do need to be a current SAKSA member.
Have a great long weekend and see you in the water soon,
Croc
Ok crew, SAKSA will make the decision in the next 48 hours for whether or not the Wave titles are held this weekend. Early predictions are not looking very promising for this weekend but we will know for sure soon. If it is not held this weekend we will look at the following weekend (26th/27th).
Well i hope everyone can find time to get out over the next couple of days,
Cheers Croc
No comp this weekend....we will look at next weekend and fingers crossed update you asap.
It'd be nice if those weather cycles were a day or two delayed! Every second year they seem to come mid week across winter...
Hey guys and girls, once again we are keeping a close eye on the weather for this weekend. It has been frustrating watch the forecasts as they go from being spot on to completely cr@p. So once again all we can do is cross our fingers and hope Huey comes to the party this weekend and delivers great conditions for us. So in around 48 hours we will be able let everybody know if it's going to happen this weekend through the usual outlets.
Cheers
Well another weekend and guess what, no wind arghhhhhhh. So unfortunately we can't run the comp this weekend either. So if everyone crosses their fingers and toes, hopefully next weekend the wind and waves will come.
So stay tuned for updates.
Well as you all know this was the last weekend that we had hoped to have run the State Wave Titles. But this weekend is another great weekend for boating and fishing and not kite surfing. I'm sure you are all aware the conditions havn't come in for us on any of the weekends. We have had good conditions on about every other day of the week but a Sat or Sunday. So after a quick get together, we have had to make the call to extend the waiting period. The first weekend that the conditions line up for us the competition will be run. So you will have a bit more time to practice during the week before the comp. If you have any questions feel free to pm or call any of the guys for info.
Cheers SAKSA committee
