KB4girls kite-boarding 2010 worldwide tour is setting up its second clinic in Melbourne, Australia on February 9th to 11th - led by nine-times world champion Kristin Boese and her team. St. Kilda is Melbourne's most famous beach and the KB4girls clinic will take place on its shores within the activities of the Week of the Wind which will for the first time be part of Australia's popular St Kilda Festival. During this Week of the Wind activities, all kitesurfers are invited to join the group and follow a bus to many of the great kite spots. KB4girls will be part of this movement, kiting perfect locations every day and teaching the female kiteboarders in the group their next new moves.
George Ierodiaconou, organizer of the Week of the Wind, said: "We are proud to have Kristin Boese as our guest of honour at Week of the Wind. Kristen's worldwide initiative to attract women to kiteboarding is important to the sport's development in Australia. We are honored that the girls of the KB4girls tour will come and join in the fun. They are the ideal ambassadors for our sport and our event which will introduce kiteboarding to over 300,000 people at the 2010 St Kilda Festival."
Another big highlight of the week will be the national championships in Kiteboarding being held on the weekend. Boese will also undertake competition coaching for these girls registered for the clinic that want to get into competing. In effect, she will lead them through the contest with tips and pointers and instruct them in what to be aware of and what to avoid.
Unfortunately, the wind forecast for St Kilda does not look that good at the moment, but perhaps we can get some sea breeze to see some action on the water. Keep an eye on the wind forecast maps for the Melbourne area to get a better picture of the general weather situation.
