the entry forms and sponsorship details upon confirmation.
We have a big announcement for the upcoming contest in Wollongong

Hi Guys
Attached is the information from the recent judging seminar that was
held at Phillip Island boardriders. It was very informative morning
and was well attended with 16 club members in attendance.
It is worth reading.

KSA Judging update.
As KSA will utilise professional judging at all events this
year, it may assist competitors when considering what the judges will
be looking for.
The following is and extract from the www.aspworldtour.com
The ASP Judging
Criteria for 2010 and beyond is as follows.
Surfers must perform to the ASP Judging Key Concepts to maximise their
scoring potential.
Judges analyze the following major concepts when scoring waves:
- Commitment and Degree of Difficulty
- Innovative and Progressive Manoeuvres
- Combination of Major Manoeuvres
- Variety of Manoeuvres
- Speed, Power and Flow
It is important to note that the emphasis on certain
concepts is contingent upon the location and the conditions on the
day, as well as changes of conditions during the day.
Scale Utilized:
0.0 – 1.9 = Poor
2.0 – 3.9 = Fair
4.0 – 5.9 = Average
6.0 – 7.9 = Good
8.0 – 10.0 = Excellent
“The last part of the revised ASP Judging Criteria
is crucial,” Hatchett said. “Surfers and fans need to
understand that certain aspects of surfing score higher depending
on the location and the conditions at that location. For example,
the same approach to surfing in classic Trestles conditions will not
score the same when applied to classic Pipeline conditions –
classic Trestles conditions call for more Innovative and Progressive
Manoeuvres whereas classic Pipeline conditions call for more Commitment
and Degree of Difficulty.”
Many thanks to WAKA member who provided the updates
on judging criteria.
News very soon on the 2010 circuit and confirmation
of sponsorship and dates. We are hoping to see more KSA events than
ever before in the lead up to the 2011 World Titles.

2009 Circuit Results December 21st.
Kyle Bryant wins the 2009 Kneeboard Surf Australian
Pro Title.
Congratulations to Kyle Bryant from NSW, taking out the 2009 KSA Pro
circuit. Consistency, and commitment over the 3 circuit contests this
year saw Kyle make his way to the top in 2009.
A formal presentation
will happen at our first comp in the new year. However, as from next
year, KSA has a new computer system that will automatically keep competitors
updated on their position in the circuit immediately at the end of
the final day of the contest. So, no more waiting for results!
Many thanks to
all competitors across Australia who took holidays, re-arranged work,
booked accommodation, traveled for hours, knocked out in the first
round, paddled out heat after heat, traveled to NZ, slept in cheap
hotels, helped out in the tent, laughed, kicked, swore, yelled, danced
and generally gave it a go and had fun.
Many thanks also
to the KSA executive who all give up their time and talents to run
what is the best kneeboard circuit in the world. KSA could not be
successful without the commitment and passion from you.
I hope to see
you all again, plus many new faces, in 2010. Have a safe and Merry
Christmas to you and your families.
