Here we are at the next KFT event which has been redeveloped into a SUPER SERIES which has 6 rounds which will make it more competitive so those anglers who are consistent will be in with a chance to take out the AOS (Angler of the Series). Again there are awesome prizes and awesome locations with a few new waterways to test the most confident kayak angler out there.
Check out the facebook page which is updated with heaps of cool info as well as the results from each round and a scoreboard with who has how many points toward the AOS. So get your entry form in to secure your spot as this series there will only be 50 positions and as some of you would know we regularly have maximum capacity at each round.

Entry
Entry to each series is very easy, simply fill out the entry form which you can download here complete it and return it by the nominated date to ensure you gain an enty into the round/s. The process has remained pretty much the same as previous series with a couple of minor changes.
Firstly there are 50 places each round and entry forms must be received 1 week prior to the round.
Secondly there is no early bird fee the entry fee is a flat $50 and if you choose to pay on the day you risk not securing a place to compete (note the events have become very popular and we have reached 60 competitors on a couple of occasions and we have consistantly had 50 competitors or more, so it is advisable to pre enter to avoid dissapointment).
