Aug 28-31: Wanakite Freeride 2008

Perseverance at the Snowfarm paid off on the last day with 10-15knot NW winds under bluebird sunny skies. Perfect conditions, awesome snow, epic snowkiting. Read more about it on kiteforum.co.nz.

About the CWA

Objectives
To foster and encourage local participation in windsports.

History
The CWA had its beginnings in the early 1990's as the Canterbury Windsurfing Association. As the original name suggests, it was initially formed by and for windsurfers. In 2005 it changed its name to the Canterbury Windsports Association in recognition of the growth of kiting, and wider interest in windsports on water, land and snow.
