Really stoked to see another kneeboarding event on the world stage. Here is the current world wide Kneelo tour that I hope to make some day-

Bendalong Pro
Phillips Island Contest
Other Oz contest I can't remember
KSUSA Championships
British Kneelo Champs
World Champs
and now adding: Cantabria Kneelo Festival

throw in trips to Indo, Bali, Hawaii, Jeffreys Bay and NZ and you have my dream year of surfing!

Time it to coincide with the Vuelta a Espana bicycle race and I might be there in a year or two.

Coffs Harbor, also isn't Ma Pa Bendal different than Bendalong?

Unfortunately the Bendalong Pro is no longer, but we do have the Wollongong Pro on in it's place. The Ma & Pa Bendall is invite only - though a highly sought after entry, & the South Australian event is getting stronger & stronger thanks to the efforts of Phil Arthurs,KSA & Co. hoping to get something going over in the west also in the future as the Indiana Club have done some terrific work in getting their comps together. We could go on & on but the sentiment that Tom gave in commending Cantabria as well as the global network can only be echoed form the Wolruss.
P.S. Coffs is another event that almost folded but thanks to our new sponsor-Plantation Hotel-& the efforts of the KSA is going great guns.

Cheers Wolruss

Best wishes to our Spanish colleagues - sounds fantastic.

Just a quick correction Russ, the Pa and Ma Bendall Memorial Contest kneeboard division is a first in best dressed basis - we just cap the numbers to levels similiar to the shortboard divisions in the same contest.
Will try and post some dates for the February 2012 comp soon.

Why is the Bendall about dress instead of skill? :roll:

Sorry Mike - maybe that's an Australian expression. I meant spots are allocated on the basis of the order entry forms and fees are received.
