Lancelin Ocean Classic Kite Jam!!

For the first time ever Kite Surfing will feature in the Lancelin Ocean Classic!!!

This is the 2nd Kite surfing competition over the 4 days of the Lancelin Ocean Classic... KITE JAM, this freestyle competition will see sailors compete in an event which will include obstacles, big airs and all the excitement of a freestyle event. The heats will take place on 11th Jan at the end of Hopkins St near the search and rescue in Lancelin and those who impress the judges will go onto the finals held Saturday 12th Jan.

Kite Jam is open to all those sailors who are over 18, have 3 years experience and who are a member of AKSA or WAKSA.

Is there different categories within the kite jam, or is it just open?

The wind in there is unstable and not suitable for kites unless you are looking to be at least 100 metres offshore? likewise launching and landing off the beach between Werner and the jetty is not ideal for the same reason.

Hey Chris, there is a lot of thought and prep that goes into chosing a venue and following review we have a preferred location chosen by all parties, including WAKSA who are running the event in conjunction with the LOC. So lets hope for great weather and an awesome day out for all involved.

Apart from the nice grass it's a crap spot to launch from and dangerous unless it's totally deserted. It also gives most of the local kiters the ****s when people do set up and launch/land from there.

LOC have no say on kites in the park as the Shire of Gingin have it written in the bylaws and they are enthusiastic about enforcing it.
