Kiteboarding Australia

Australian’s Breiana Whitehead and Oscar Timm are primed for action as the Formula Kite World Championships kick off this week on Portugal’s Western coast.

“The conditions are going to be interesting, there’s always a bit of swell out there,” Whitehead shared. “We’ve had a pretty good lead into the event with sun and wind in the afternoon, but we’ve also had a pretty rainy and wild measurement day. That’s the forecast for the first few days, though hopefully towards the end of the week we’ll get some more stable conditions for good racing.”

The championship format promises intensity, with 20 fleet races scheduled over five days before the final series on May 16th. In the men’s fleet, State Sailing Performance Program athlete Oscar Timm will carry Australian hopes as he continues his development in the highly competitive Formula Kite class.
