The Shark Bay Downwinders, now celebrating its third year, is an exhilarating two-day event set in the pristine World Heritage Region of Shark Bay. While the Shark Bay coastal waters have long been celebrated for fishing and boating, they are swiftly gaining recognition as a world-class destination for kiteboarding. This event not only features kiteboarders from around the globe competing in Australia’s Longest Downwind Kite Boarding Race, spanning 40km, but also incorporates various community-focused elements. Beyond the competition, the Shark Bay Downwinders serves as a potent force, inspiring and encouraging many to embrace the adrenaline-pumping sport of kiteboarding.
