FAQs

Memberships are now based on a rolling, annual membership. You will receive a membership renewal ‘reminder’ (via email) about 1 month before your membership expires next year.

No, as a volunteer organisation, we prefer all membership applciations to be made online to reduce the administration overhead for the Committee. If this poses a big issue for you, please contact WAKSA.

There are many great benefits to being a WAKSA member:

• you get $10m public liability insurance cover
• you can take part in all WAKSA events
• you are supporting the Association that supports you
• it’s a great way to meet other kitesurfers in Western Australia
• you’ll be in the know when it comes to anything kitesurfing in WA!

Your WAKSA membership fee ($125) is used for several things as follows:

• $65 goes to Public Liability Insurance
• $15 goes directly to WAKSA to run events and to keep YOUR Association operating
• $45 goes to KA for the membership system, welcome packs and their role to manage kitesurfing on a national scale

You are insured from the time that your membership is approved and is valid for a 12 month period, from the date you join WAKSA.

Anyone who is a current WAKSA or KA member qualifies for the insurance, regardless of nationality or age.

Full details about the insurance policy can be found on the WAKSA insurance page

The WAKSA insurance policy covers most overseas countries except for the United States of America and Canada. Please have a look at the V-Insurance Group Information Portal to ensure you’re covered.

VERY IMPORTANT: WAKSA Public Liability Insurance is NOT a replacement for your normal holiday insurance.

It normally takes 14 – 21 days from receipt of your payment. If after 21 days you haven’t received anything from us, please contact WAKSA and let us know.
