The 2007 Australian National Freestyle Titles will be held in Caloundra from March 17-22. With pleasant daytime temperatures of 25C and water temperature of 22C, Caloundra is a perfect location for kitesurfing. With excellent chances of suitable wind, the site selected for the event allows for spectators to have uninterrupted views from the boardwalk which hugs the foreshore for hundreds of metres. Competitors will also be impressed with the shallow, flat water with plenty of space and clean ocean breeze.
This event will decide the 2007 champion in four divisions: men's open, womens, junior, & masters. Entries to this event is via pre-qualification through state titles. Some wild-card entries will be admitted. See www.aksa.com for competition rules & details.
