Wind & Waves Festival coming to Kendalls

The inaugural Wind & Waves Festival is coming to Kendalls Beach soon.

Organised by the company behind the Husky Triathlon Festival and other sports participation events, Elite Energy, it is hoped the new festival will become one of the iconic water-based events in Australia.

The weekend at Kendalls will include ocean swims, beach volleyball, beach netball and family fun activities.

Saturday will see 500m, 2km (from Easts Beach) and 4km (to Easts Beach and return) ocean swims taking place. Registration fees apply for participants.

Back on the sand, Volleyball NSW’s Beach Volleyball Tour will be in action, with NSW’s elite and developing athletes partnering up to put on an exciting show.

The weekend will also introduce beach netball to Kiama, with locals encouraged to register an adult or youth team of 5 to 8 players to take part.

The weekend will include other fun for the whole family, with a sandcastle competition, food and music.

There will even be a free one hour yoga class as the sun rises over the ocean on both days.

Saturday 11-12 February, Kendalls Beach
