There was some wind at Bells Beach, but not quite enough, so we continued on to Point Danger at Torquay where we had a great kitesurfing session in the waves.

Warrnambool to Melbourne via the Great Ocean Road
We did a road trip back along the Great Ocean Road on Monday, returning from the AKSA National Wave Kiting Championship held at Warrnambool. There was some big surf along the coast around the Twelve Apostles, but no wind.
There was some wind at Bells Beach, but not quite enough, so we continued on to Point Danger at Torquay where we had a great kitesurfing session in the waves.

AKSA flatwater session fun in the sun
Session 125, 6 February 2011
Kite: Noise 12
Wind: 15 knots, S
Location: Main Beach, Warrnambool
Time: 3:00 to 4:00 (1h)
Kite: Noise 12
Wind: 15 knots, S
Location: Main Beach, Warrnambool
Time: 3:00 to 4:00 (1h)
Board: Cabrinha S-Quad
There was a "flatwater freeride" demonstration event on at Warrnambool Main Beach in the afternoon, after the finals of the ASKA National Titles were completed. I headed out for another session with many onlookers on the beach.
The wind was a bit light, but there was enough to get going. There were quite a few kiters on the water, but everyone was watching out for each other.
I came in after an hour tired but happy. Ivan Salmon, who had been judging at the Nationals, borrowed my Noise kite to try it out.
There is good camaraderie in the kiting community here, and at the Nationals. If you get a chance to attend one of these championship events I think it is well worthwhile.
I took these photos from the beach and in the water.

AKSA National Wave Kitesurfing Titles - event and awards
After some very heavy rain in Victoria, I headed down to Warrnambool to check out the AKSA National Wave Kitesurfing Titles. The roads were clear of floods although I drove through some rain shower.
I arrived late in the afternoon and caught some heats of the Masters event at Logan Beach. There was a good surf and some good wind.
In the evening, an awards ceremony was held at the Lady Bay hotel. A good time was had by all.

2010/11 AKSA National Wave Kitesurfing Titles, 3 February 2011
The 2011 Wave Australian Nationals are coming up quickly, check out http://www.kitesurfingnationals.com/ for details.
It is likely to be a fantastic showcase of the best surfing with a kite talent in Australia, so get along to the event if you can, to show your support.
Email your local state kitesurfing association or info@aksa.com.au to check if you are qualified to represent your state at the nationals.
I intend to go for at least a couple of days.
