The Red Bull King of the Air kiteboarding event returns to Kite Beach, Table View, from Saturday November 23 to Sunday December 8.
This year’s event will include a women’s division, marking a new chapter in the event’s history.
“We are incredibly proud to launch the women’s division this year. This is a long-awaited moment, and it’s exciting to see female athletes take to the skies in the world’s most prestigious Big Air kiteboarding event. They are ready to inspire a new generation,“ said Red Bull King of the Air sports director Sergio Cantagalli
In the open division, the 18-rider field sees a mix of returning champions, top riders and fresh talent who will battle it out for the crown.
According to Cantagalli, the Red Bull King of the Air Qualifier Tour has given two riders a spot in the Grand Finale in Cape Town: Brazilian rising star Josué San Ferreira, who won the Spanish Red Bull King of the Air Qualifier in Tarifa, and Dutch competitor Jamie Overbeek, who competed in the Red Bull King of the Air Qualifier Cold Hawaii in the fishing village of Nørre Vorupør, Denmark.
