2010 PROSURF EXTREME KITESURF COMPETITION |
Prosurf Extreme Annual Charity Kitesurf Event which has become a fixed feature on the Kenya Sporting Calendar came around again this February at the Nyali
International Beach Hotel, with wind that just arrived in time and with
entrants from Kenya, Germany and Italy.
Held over 3 days, this year’s event was different in that it was an Amateur event
with a great turnout of entrants from Kenya’s growing kitesurfing
community.
The full week’s itinerary for all the contestants and spectators included a race event, a kicker and slider event with ramps in the
water to jump, as well as a big air and freestyle session.
Fire jumping,
now a firm favourite at this annual event, saw kitesurfers racing in
towards the beach and jumping over a burning raft at the last minute
pulling off tricks mid-air.
This year’s event was photographed for Prosurf Extreme by internationally acclaimed Extreme Sports Photographer Christian Black.
