PERTH: Girls and women from all over Australia are getting ready for the last KB4girls event of the season to take place in Rockingham, just south of Perth/WA, from the 16th to the 18th of December.

Being the 10th international event of the KB4girls foundation to be run in 2011 the womens kiteboarding clinic and fundraising event focuses on empowering women through the sport AND raising money for Layne Beachley's "Aim for the Stars" foundation.

"I am really looking forward to the weekend with the Aussie girls, especially since WA is my second home and I feel very connected with them. On top of that our local organization crew around Nicolea Paul has done an incredible job with setting everything up. Last but not least though I am very happy that we are raising funds for an incredible foundation - "Aim for the stars" - who follows the same mission we do on a bigger scale." say Kristin Boese, 9x Kiteboarding World Champion and founder of KB4girls.

The clinic will see pro-riders Shannon Ducker, Chrissy Gaudieri, Michelle England and Kristin Boese coach the 30 participating girls some new tricks and push their level of riding while engaging in a weekend with many other female kiters. In return for this free event the participants have been asked to set up a personal fundraising page on http://www.kb4girls.org and raise money for the cause.

After the local organization had applied for a grant, the City of Rockingham stepped up to support the event financially, making it possible to have a big part of the expenses for the event covered and for the girls to experience a great time.

Further partners of the event include WAKSA, Angostura and WA Surf. The KB4girls foundation and their worldwide tour is supported by Best Kiteboarding, DaKine and Baby-G.

About KB4girls
KB4girls is a non-profit worldwide clinic tour for female kiteboarders that was launched in November 2009 by Kristin Boese. While the tour gives female athletes from around the world the chance to get together for a fun and female times it also motivates them to push their kiteboarding skills to the next level and possibly start to compete in kiteboarding.

Another goal of the KB4girls events is to support local charities that reach out to females in need and registration fees are being donated to these partnering Foundations.
