THE SOUTH AFRICAN KITEBOARD TOUR TOOK PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME AT BIG BAY BEACH-BlOUBERG CPT

If you happened to be in Big Bay over the weekend of the 12th – 13th December you would have experienced the 3rd stop of the South African Kiteboard Tour.

This is the 1st year that the South African Kiteboard Tour (SAKT) has taken place and what a great 2 day event it was. Kitesurfing demonstrations by some of SA’s top kitesurfer’s were held such as Sjoukje Brendenkamp (the world record holder in speed sailing) and Greg Thijsse (who competed at the KPWT and PKRA World Tours). 47 competitors entered on the weekend including riders from all over the world.

We had wind throughout the whole competition, Saturday we started off with the guys novice and pro woman’s freestyle and then ended the day with the men’s pro divisions. The wind started blowing really hard, which made the finals a really good show and interesting conditions to compete in. By the afternoon 60 knots was recorded in Cape Town. Saturday night everyone enjoyed the after party that was held at Doodle’s Bar and Restaurant. Sunday kicked off early with coarse racing. We ran 7 races throughout the day and this was spectacular sight with all the kites in the sky.

Congratulations to the overall winners of the 3rd SAKT stop.
