show here Waka October pointscore slide show here. The Waka's had their October pointscore down the south coast at Sussex Inlet, and to everone's delight they had waves....for most it was unexpected as Nth of the bay it was flat and had been that way for over a week....while down here we have had some great swell,,,all the swell has been South of the Bay and completely missing the Gong area...A full report may soon be on site if we can get a Waka to send one in... All
pictures on the isite this month were taken by Waka Williams
at the Waka pointscore...thanks Adam...someones on the ball
at least!!! WORLD TITLES ENTRY UPDATE 31st October 2008 have negotiated and secured accommodation for Australian Team members and their families. KSA has paid the deposit to secure 11 SINGLE BEDS, 4 DOUBLE BEDS and ONE ENSUITE ROOM WITH DBLE BED with the Club Hotel situated in the main street of Opunake and not far from all the major social events. Accommodation was filling fast due to the Easter break so I secured what rooms were available. I have received a few confirmations from those eligible to represent Australia. I will be sending out instructions and details to kneeboard club officials and contacts around the country soon via snail mail. We need to confirm flight and transport ASAP so start considering the Air NZ proposal stated below. KSA will also be paying for a 12 seater bus for the Aussie reps and their families if it is required. Also, the NZ World Titles will be ISA sanctioned and recognised. I am currently negotiating with Surfing Australia regarding support and official recognition for those competing. Big news soon! I have obtained Women's fleece lined jackets for our Australian Reps which will be embroidered soon. As promised during the year, each Australian rep will receive a free t-shirt with Australian crest, KSA & world titles logo. Plus we will have for sale, mens & women pull-over's and perhaps shorts. Watch this space for photo's soon. Many thanks to Ken Stapleton and Scott Feeney for their efforts. Thanks also to all the kneelo's from the western states of Oz who have been contacting me. KSA will be announcing supportive measures to ensure our sport continues expanding and including kneelo's from W.A & S.A. Stay tuned. More updates to come soon . John Clingan I have obtained a deal with Air New Zealand for the Kneeboard Surf Australia team travel. SYD
- AUCKLAND - SYD Total
Adult $610 return. Incl taxes NOTE>>>>>If we wish to go to Hamilton Airport, the connecting flight from Auckland cannot guarantee carrying our boards as the aircraft is a 20 seater and priority will be given to normal luggage. I have obtained a great deal with our boards. Air New Zealand will NOT charge us for boards/luggage totalling up to 30 kg each passenger. This means, if your board/s and bag/s total weight is under 30kg, there is NO charge. However,
anything over the 30kg per person will be charged 1kg = $10.00
each kg Don’t pack kids/grommets into board bags. They do make great padding for your boards but you will be charged extra to clean up the mess. If you are considering travelling on a 'budget' type airline, CHECK THE FEE'S & CHARGES OF TAKING YOUR BOARDS. Many cheaper style airlines will charge a considerable amount to take a board. Your cheap airfare may be more expensive than you think. I will need to confirm numbers and names to Air NZ by the Philip IS contest, which I am attending. Let me know as soon as you can if you are DEFINITELY going and want to travel as part of the Australian Team. ( AIR NZ will give us a special welcome on board during the flight) And lastly…..ensure your Surfing Australia membership is up to date. I am sending the list to them so we receive official recognition and support. More to come on that later…. Thank you to all those who have contacted me of their travel plans. It’s a big help and very appreciated. More
news on entries and numbers soon. Latest World Title update Hello kneelo bretheren, I have been in constant contact with New Zealands Murray Weir regarding our upcoming World Titles trip next April. You may have had difficulty gaining access to the site, however, as at 3pm EST, Thursday 4th Sept th eNew Zealand World Titles website was back up and running. NEWS<<<<<<
Depending on numbers., KSA may book an additional bus. I have looked
at travel dates for the Australian Team and supporters: I have not yet confirmed details as I am awaiting feedback from airlines. More news as it comes to hand. I have also made a tentaive booking at the Club Hotel in Opunake township. Prices start at $45 (NZ) per person per night. Spaces are limited. There are bunk beds, single share & double. I will require definite numbers of attendees by end OCT 2008Note: I have been receiving many enquiries regarding entering World Titles. If you are an Australian , you MUST have entered at least 2 KSA/Surfing Australia events in 2008. This applies to EVERYONE. I know I have repeated this often, however, I wish to assure people not to travel to New Zealand only to be denied entry if you do not satisfy qualification rules. This includes current financial membership of your states Surfing Australia. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you have
entered a State or Regional Surfing Australia event in 2008,
then you only require one more event to qualify, such as entering
a KSA contest such as Bendalong 08, Coffs 08 or Phillip Is 08.
So…… That’s it…there is no requirement to place above a certain ranking or achieve certain points to represent your country as a professional surfer in 2009. More details
soon on flights and team clothing. KSA Caps John just let me know the KSA Caps have been selling great and he's ordering another batch, so if you want one get your money in and John will send you off one in the post. He wanted me to thank everyone for their support.  They are for sale at $25 AU posted anywhere in the world. Dont forget to include your return address with your order.
