Ben Winding and Cat Tanner have claimed the 2012 South Australian Kitesurfing Freestyle titles, held at the Grange Sailing Club, in Henley Beach.
It was also exciting to see a number of the Juniors step up this year and take it to the open men in the Opens category, with several of them making it through to the later rounds. This is a great step forward for juniors, progressing their riding and getting them ready for future State and National Competitions. These kids have a bright kitesurfing future ahead of them. The future of South Australian Kitesurfing is certainly looking good. All 44 kiteboarders competed and fought it out over the six categories in what has to be one of the most successful and competitive State Titles SA has ever seen. Every division was tightly fought, with a number of heats resulting in arguments up in the judges box over who won. Dion Do, Evan Higham, Mark Gregg, Dale Bubnow and Will Smallacombe took the Juniors, Masters, Grand Masters, Amateurs and Big Air divisions. Open Men: 1st Ben Winding (Slingshot) 1st Cat Tanner (Blade) 1st Dion Do (Ozone) 1st Evan Higham (North) 1st Mark Gregg (Blade) 1st Dale Bubnow 1st Will Smallacombe (Slingshot) |
