Fresher's Guide - Part 2 - Camping
In 2016 Aussie Kiss changed it’s format, and for the first time in the event’s history students were permitted to camp right at Roadford Reservoir. This made the event the most intimate experience yet. Camping is always a fun and social way to escape the stress of urban living and breathe in the country fresh air to chill out for a weekend. With no travel requirements Saturday or Sunday it’s as easy as rolling out of bed on onto a Windsurf… Just the way we like it.
It’s likely that most of those looking to attend Aussie Kiss have spent a night in a tent, but it’s always worth skimming our top camping tips to be sure you’re up to scratch and you don’t forget any campsite essentials!
#SWAsummersnaps 2017 competition
** FREE AUSSIE KISS TICKETS!! **
Ok, hopefully that got your attention!
Welcome to our 2017 #SWAsummersnaps competition.
Anyone can enter, all you have to do is find a cool photo you took this summer that may or may not have a vague relation to windsurfing (like this one of me outside Club Vass taken by @cglasby). Then, make a new post on Instagram (or Facebook), with a short descriptive caption, tag @studentwindsurf, and the hashtag #SWAsummersnaps.
Our favourite in-house pro-photographer @cglasby will judge all the photos (must have been posted from 27/9/2017 to 5/10/2017), with the winner getting a FREE TICKET TO AUSSIE KISS!
Runners up will get other cool stuff too, but more info on that soon... So, what are you waiting for? Scroll back through those summer photo albums, and get posting!

Fresher's Guide - Part 1 - Intro
Aussie Kiss - The Good the Bad and the Bubbly.
‘Aussie Kiss’ is a phrase that is almost as old as the SWA with almost as strong of a reputation. It is the crown jewel of the SWA event series eagerly anticipated by many every year whilst spoken about for many months to come. Every year it stands as the proud SWA beacon that welcomes fresh faced Windsurfers to its warming glow. It shakes down the end of summer blues and reignites the windsurfing spark in everyone’s heart. It is, quite frankly, only just shy of a national treasure. For those reading this, in which this phrase is but a poorly considered innuendo, read on, for over the space of the next 3 minutes we shall enlighten you to your new found pasture of student windsurfing revelry!
