WAKSA will be holding the 2010 WA State Wave Titles over 3 weekends commencing next Saturday 26th June 2010 and running for two days. Assuming we have the necessary wind and waves, the event will be held at Brighton Beach Scarborough, with Leighton Beach as the back up location.

The event will be open to Juniors; Amateurs; Open Men; Open Women; Masters and Grand Masters. The competition will be a freeride format and kiters will be judged on their performance in heats over the two days. Judging criteria will be made available closer to the event.

As members will be aware, WAKSA has been actively engaged in the public consultation process regarding Joondalup's draft Beach Management Plan. We are seriously concerned about the negative changes the plan is proposing for two of Perth's best kiting beaches.
We have been advised that the City of Joondalup received approximately 4600 submissions as part of the process.

The Association organised for a leaflet drop to approximately 7000 houses in the Mullaloo area prior to the consultation process closed and met with the Mayor to discuss our concerns with the draft Beach Management Plan. We also made a formal submission to Joondalup outlining our concerns and suggested a range of alternative outcomes for the City to consider. Copies of the leaflet and the formal submission can be found on our website: www.waksa.com/documents.
