Maui/HI, February 18, 2012: Kicking off the 2012 season in Sydney/NSW the KB4girls Foundation partners with the NSW Kite Boarding Association’s (NSWKBA) KITECHICKS group lead by Priya Mohandas.

Taking place from March 10th -11th 2012 at Culbarra Beach (2 hours South of Sydney) the KB4girls/KITECHICKS event will bring girls together, promote kiteboarding amongst women, train the participating females on safety and help develop their kite skills. KITECHICKS is excited to be part of the KB4girls GLOBAL events in 2012 and to welcome local champion Marine Sudre and KB4girls president and world champion kiteboarder Kristin Boese to inspire the more advanced girls in the clinic and coach them to learn advanced tricks to competition level.

Culburra offers a perfect spot for the beginner lessons as well as a super fun beach with little kicker waves for the advanced group. The event will be limited to 20 experienced and 6 beginner spots, and all girls must be AKSA insured under their NSWKBA membership.

Participating KITECHICKS will need to have their own gear and are either:

* needing assistance getting on the board

* improving their board skills

* assistance in riding upwind

* assistance with jumps

This KB4girls/KITECHICKS will be a fundraising event at the same time and all participants are asked to assemble their fundraising page on the KB4girls website and raise funds for the “Aim for the Stars Foundation”. For further info please see: www.kb4girls.org/support/personal-fundraising-pages.html

As NSWKBA is a not-for-profit organization, the individual contribution will be $85 per person to cover direct costs. This will cover training on both Saturday & Sunday, a social BBQ dinner, and a great opportunity to network with other KITECHICKS, kite businesses & many experienced kiters in the community.

Local partners and sponsors include the NSWKBA KITECHICKS, Kitepower, Alliance Gear, Wind Surf n Snow, Balmoral Boards, Zepher Kite Tours, Divine Kiting, Kiteburra & Australian Kite Surfari, Griffin.
