Surf’s up, or rather, windsurfs will be up and surfing the waves this Sunday in Larnaca when windsurfers will be battling it out for the title of the King of Kites.
There is probably nowhere else in the world where you could get sun, sand, the very best of windsurfing and a party atmosphere than Larnaca (as the city is said to have the perfect conditions for the sport).
This is the third year that the King of Kites – The Cyprus windsurfing Championships – will be held as it is back by popular demand. The sport itself is the fastest growing water sport in the world, probably because it combines all the thrills of windsurfing, surfing and wakeboarding.
It is gaining huge popularity on the island and with the help of everyone who wants to be crowned king of the sport, the event hopes to help Cyprus put itself on the kitesurfing map. It is already on its way, as previous events have attracted windsurfers from the UK, Israel and Russia and a turnout of more than 800 people ready to see what one person can do with a board and the sea.
Every year a professional kiteboarder hosts the event and crowns the winner. In previous years Kevin Langaree and Hannah Whiteley had the honour, this year Ruben Lenten will be the big name at the event. Lenten will host the 6km Slalom race and then judge the Free Air competition to crown the champion King of Kite 2015. This year the Free Air competition includes big air tricks (old skool) as well as the very technical, new cool tricks. So whatever tricks you may know, they are welcome – just check out the rules first on http://ift.tt/1HEsGlB. …. [Read More]
