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.

First legal buggyjumping session at Ainsdale Beach 20th January 2008

After a four year ban on kite buggy jumping, hard work by the AOSPKC chairman and other members of the committee has resulted in Sefton Council relaxing the ban. Buggy jumpers still need to obtain a special permit by demonstrating they have the necessary skills and knowledge to progress onto learning aerial kite buggy freestyle.
