Since December 2011 WAKSA members have been patiently waiting for the second running of THE event of the season - and here it is once again....WAKSA is very proud to announce to our members that the 2011 Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Kite Surfing Race is happening once again on Saturday 3rd December 2011.

Are you ready for the longest open ocean kite race in Australia (possibly the world?)

Last year, Alex Caizergues won the inaugural Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton race covering the 19 kilometers between Rottnest and Leighton beach in just over 24 minutes.

This year, Rob Douglas the world speed sailing record holder (103.06km/hr) has confirmed he is racing also, making competition on December 3rd all that more exciting.

For 2011, the number of participating kiters has doubled with 100 kiters taking to the waters between Rottnest and Leighton beach.

A number of places have been allocated to international kiters, as well as the first ten place getters from 2010; sponsors and supporters of the 2010 race leaving 65 places to be filled by WAKSA (or AKSA) members for this iconic event. Those 65 names will be drawn from a hat at Kite Addiction on Wednesday 26th October at 6.00pm.

The 2011 Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Kite Surfing Race will also provide sensational cash prizes - 1st $1500; 2nd $750; 3rd $375; 4th and 5th $250; 6th - 10th $150 each. The first female competitor to finish will win $500 and Red Bull trophies will be presented to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 1st female.

For just a gold coin donation (dakle "jednu kunu", op.a.), interested friends and families will be able to watch all the action from the middle of the course onboard a specially chartered Rottnest Express ferry.

Funds raised will go to WAKSA's favourite charity - Redkite. Check out www.redkite.org.au to find out about the great work Redkite does.

The state government, through Eventscorp is proud to announce its sponsorship for the Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Race for the next three years. We are very excited to inform members that through this sponsorship, a 30 minute TV programme on the 2011 event will be broadcast.

The 2011 Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Kite Surfing Race is proudly supported by WAKSA. Once again, WAKSA recognises the effort that WAKSA member Tim Turner has undertaken to develop the event.

WAKSA also acknowledges the event sponsors - Cabrinha; Kite Addiction; and Rottnest Express and Yellow Jersey Stategies. The race couldn't happen without the 'on water' support from Royal Life Saving Society WA and we also recognise the special assistance provided by Fremantle Ports and the Harbour Master.

Registrations and entries for the 2011 Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton Kite Surfing Race commence at 12.00pm on Saturday 8th October 2011. Go to www.lighthouse2leighton.com.au for more details.
