Over 200 competitors from twelve countries will gather at Phillip Island, Victoria, from 19 to 26 March for the 2011 edition of the ISA World Kneeboard Titles, the discipline’s most prestigious championship. 

The weeklong event is held every two years, with previous events in New Zealand, USA, Tahiti and South Africa. The competition, fully sanctioned by the ISA, will crown the World Champions in the Open division as well as the age divisions that range from Under 16 to Over 60.

Kneeboarders from Australia, New Zealand, USA, England, Ireland, France, Tahiti, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, South Africa, Canada and Japan will compete for the world titles and the honor of their countries.

This is the first time that wave-rich Phillip Island will host a World Kneeboard Title event. It promises to be a historical week, with all of the current world champions coming together along with a group of very competitive locals.

Surfing Victoria, the state’s governing authority for the sport, will organize the competition to be webcasted and televised live. All event information is posted on the 2011 World Kneeboard Titles website.
