Ride Protected. Ride Proud. Join Kiteboarding Australia.
Whether you’ve been riding for years or you’re just finding your feet on the water, there’s one thing every kiteboarder and wing foiler should have sorted before their next session: proper coverage and a community behind them.
That’s exactly what Kiteboarding Australia (KA) membership gives you.
Why it matters
Kiteboarding and wing foiling are incredible sports — but things can go wrong out there. Equipment failures, unexpected gusts, collisions on the water. Without the right coverage, a single incident could cost you thousands.
KA membership offers the best level of insurance coverage currently available in Australia for kiteboarding and wing foiling — giving you the confidence to focus on what matters: having an epic session.
What you’re covered for
- Up to $20 million public liability — recreational, 24/7, anywhere in Australia
- Personal accident protection
- Full membership covers both Kiteboarding and Wing Foiling
- Worldwide coverage (excluding North America)
- Coverage for KA and Yachting Australia-sanctioned events
More than just insurance
KA works closely with local councils to keep beaches open, advocates for rider safety, and develops national events programs that give the best talent pathways to compete at the highest level — including professional world tours and Olympic inclusion.
Your membership directly supports:
- Protected beach access across Australia
- Accredited coaching programs and safer progression pathways
- A growing national events calendar — from local competitions to nationals
- A recognised harness tag that identifies you as a safe, insured rider to people and authorities at the beach
- The SheKites Australia program, encouraging more women into the sport
- Junior memberships and family options for the next generation of riders
Required for KR camps and on-water events
A valid Kiteboarding Australia membership is required to participate in all Kite Republic camps, clinics, and on-water group events. If you’re planning to join us out there — whether it’s an intermediate camp, or one of our community sessions — this is your essential first step.
