Congratulations to Surf Connect Team Riders Jalen Andreatta, Jesse Horton, Josh Porter, Kyle Evans & Tom Bell in attaining Liquid Force sponsorship.

It is great to see Liquid Force supporting more Aussie riders. Their 2008 gear is certainly the best we have ever seen, and the Havoc and Recoil Comp boards have been voted kite/board of the year from many countries around the world.

Congrats also to Surf Connect Team Riders Zeke Hughes and Josh Hickey in coming 3rd & 4th in the Coconet Junior division this last weekend.

Well done boys and thanks to Liquid Force for their support and encouragement!


Wanna become a Team Rider?

Do you think you have what it takes to become a member of the Surf Connect team?

Surf Connect is authorised distributor of many leading brands in the market, and is the only Accredited Yachting Australia Windsurfing Training Centre and the only Accredited IKO Training School in Brisbane.

You do not need to be an insane rider to become a Team Rider. Through our team riders' training program, you will learn and improve as you go along. Once on the team, you have access to all the gear we distribute at sponsored riders prices, free mags, free DVDs, free team clothing and lots more. On top you have the privileged status, and most important of all - membership to a great team!

You will start with Level 1 sponsorship package. With this, we expect you to enter comps and attend events to help our brands/company promote. When you start winning comps, we will move you onto level 2 sponsorship, where we will pay for your comp entry fees, and subsidise travelling and food expenses. When you get to top 5 of your class, you go onto level 3, which is when you get totally free gear and become not only SC’s rider but the brand’s Team Rider. Level 4 is when we put you on a wage and you become a full on prorider - the ultimate level any rider would dream of getting to. And it doesn’t end there, we will continue support and develop your career to help our brands and company improve, and after your competition phase, we will train you to become an instructor to work at our schools, and to help train the next generation up. Imagine a career from what you love doing!

Other than tangible rewards, you will also be riding/training with other team riders which makes kiting a lot more fun let alone the assistance and support you'll get from your fellow team members. Downwinders, adventures, roadtrips, kiting at different locations with your team will further improve your riding ability as you share your own experiences and tricks with each other. It also eliminates safety issues as you will look out for each other.

On return, all you have to do is to put our sticker on your car if you got one, one on your board, your sails, wear our rashie when you sail/kite/compete, and promote our company/brands when and where possible. We are looking for positive ambassadors to represent our company and the brands we distribute, so we can benefit from your exposure and publicity, generating more business for us in the end through your sponsorship program.

If you are over 18, you can also apply to become a rep, where you can on sell our entire range and make some money on the side! How good is that? Able to do what you like and make money out of it?

To apply, you must be able to ride competently, there is no age limitation for application. All welcome from 3 to 80! We also welcome existing sponsored riders from other schools if they wish to join our big family.

It doesn't matter what brand you are riding now either, we will take all your gear in as part-exchange to swap for our brands.

We believe we have a unique and the most comprehensive Team Riders Program on offer in the Brisbane region.

So what are you waiting for? Send an email to sponsorship@surfconnect.com to take your favourite sport to the next level now! Upon successful selection, you will be asked to attend an interview and to perform a water session.
