Building a Stronger Women’s Kiteboarding Community in Australia

Kiteboarding has always been about freedom, power, and connection with nature, but for women, it’s also about finding a space where we can learn, push limits, and share the stoke together. That’s exactly what SheKites is about, a community built by women, for women, to make kiteboarding more accessible, empowering, and fun.

This year, SheKites is making an exciting comeback in Australia and none of it would be possible without the incredible support of ION. Known worldwide for their cutting-edge gear and dedication to water sports, ION has stepped in to help SheKites grow, thrive, and reach more women than ever before.

Running grassroots events and building a nationwide community is no small task. From equipment to logistics, to making sure every participant feels safe and supported, it takes more than passion alone. With ION on board, SheKites now has the resources to:

• Host events and clinics across the country, giving women a chance to learn and progress together.

• Create safe and welcoming spaces for both beginners and experienced riders.

• Keep building a connected network of female kiteboarders who inspire and uplift each other.

In short, ION is helping to make the dream of a strong female-driven kiteboarding community in Australia a reality.

SheKites x ION GIVEAWAYS

To celebrate and show their support, ION has prepared 5 giveaways in each Australian state. These giveaways aren’t just about gear, they’re about showing up for the community and encouraging more women to join the movement. It’s a chance for riders everywhere to feel the energy, win something special, and become part of SheKites’ growing family.

With SheKites returning this summer and expanding its reach, this is just the beginning. Together with ION, the vision is to see more women on the water, more friendships forming, and more stories of empowerment being written.

Whether you’re picking up a kite for the first time or chasing your next trick, SheKites and ION are here to back you up, because when women support women, the whole community rises.

Stay tuned, join us at an event near you, and don’t miss your chance to be part of the giveaways in your state. Let’s fly together.

SheKites is a Part of The Kiteboarding Australia Family

We are beyond excited to share that SheKites is officially part of the Kiteboarding Australia (KA) this partnership means that all SheKites events from mini festivals to our DownUnder Summer Festival are supported, organised, and backed by the national body for kiteboarding and kitesurfing in Australia.

By joining forces with Kiteboarding Australia, SheKites is not just creating a safe and inclusive space for women in kiteboarding, we are also ensuring that every event is professional, insured, and accessible.

Through Kiteboarding Australia memberships, all riders at SheKites events are covered with comprehensive insurance, giving peace of mind both on and off the water. This partnership also makes it easier than ever to get involved, all bookings are made directly through the Kiteboarding Australia website, giving you a streamlined way to sign up, secure your spot, and be part of this growing movement.

Kiteboarding Australia is more than an administrative backbone, they are an active supporter of SheKites’ mission to:

• Offer progression opportunities for riders at all levels

• Celebrate women in extreme sports

Together, we’re shaping a community where every woman feels confident to push her limits, try new tricks, and find inspiration both on and off the water.

This summer, the SheKites Australia Tour is stopping in every state, with Mini Festivals designed to combine coaching, workshops, and connection. All events are run by experienced female coaches, including ION Testival, mindset workshops, yoga, kite clinics, and plenty of water time.

SheKites & Partnering Kite Schools

At SheKites, our mission has always been simple: to empower more women to get into kiteboarding, progress in the sport, and feel supported by a strong community. To make this possible, we are excited to share that SheKites is teaming up with local kite schools across Australia.

Every kiteboarder knows that your local spot is more than just a beach, t’s your second home, your training ground, and the place where friendships are born. By working together with established kite schools in each state, SheKites ensures that women always have:

• Access to trusted, professional female instructors

• A welcoming community at their local beach

• Support to keep progressing beyond events and clinics

This partnership means that SheKites isn’t just running one-off festivals or retreats, we’re creating a sustainable network of support that you can tap into all year round.

Your Local Kite School, Your Community

When you sign up for a SheKites event, you’ll also connect with the local kite school in your area. These schools are not only helping us run events, but also:

• Offering ongoing lessons and coaching

• Providing gear advice and demos (including the latest from our partner ION)

• Creating a safe and inclusive environment for women to thrive

• Building a community where you’ll always have someone to shred with

So whether you’re in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South AustraliaQueensland, Western Australia, there’s a SheKites-supported kite school near you that will help you feel good on the water.

Let’s Kite Together

By teaming up with local schools, SheKites is making sure the journey doesn’t stop at the end of a festival weekend. You’ll always have a place to return to and a group of kite gals to share the stoke with.
