BKSA kiteival success continues

After the final rounds, consensus was that Kiteval 2009 had been a resounding success. The first ever landbased freestyle kitebuggy and kite landboard competitions had been run at the three kiteival events with entries from some of the world's top freestyle kiters. There were even enough entries from the girls to run a ladies comp. Hats off to Mikee Allwood and Andy Preston for doing the judging, promoting and organising of the land side of things allowing it to run smoothly alongside the established kitesurfing events. Here's hoping that the sponsors (Buff, King of Watersports, and DeadMan Kitesurf as well as the local authorities & all the other supporting companies) were happy with the publicity & will be back for more next year.

What could be better? VW vans and kites?

Not quite a kite festival at the legendary Black Rock Sands, but a VW meet with a bit of kiting thrown in. Limited landbased kiting, but definitely loads of water based fun. Let's just hope there's a bit of wind eh?
