The Junior Progression Sessions were established in 2021 with the aim to systematically foster the most promising junior kite athletes in and around Perth. Initiated by Kiteboarding WA, the State Sporting Association for Kiteboarding, a structured training program was implemented, with a focus on freestyle and big air, plus the core disciplines required to develop our athletes‘ agility, technicality and mental strength.
It’s safe to say that our Groms have learned some extraordinary skills this season and here is a sneaky insight into their secret; Our latest documentary takes you on an unfiltered journey into the junior kite athlete program. Including hard-boosting training and uncensored interviews with our coaches and elite junior kiteboarders. It’s certainly worth the watch, so go check out the thrilling full-length documentary below:
