Kite Show Cumbuco 2009 - KITEboarding is back!

The KITE-SHOW focuses on the big air aspect of the sport, which got in the last years out of focus of the major tours. Switch tricks and keeping the kite low takes away the show and fascination from KITEboarding.
We want to bring back the stoke of KITEboarding, back to the roots why 99% of all of us started to pick up this sport.

Here you can find all info about the Kite Show in Cumbuco, Brazil. The Kite Show is a 7 discipline show with top riders from around the world, who are competing in a best trick format, with one jump at a time. This way it will be exciting for spectators on the beach and media. Riders have to be very concentrated, since they only have few jumps to show their best trick in the according discipline.

We will keep updating this topic with all latest info we will have available.

Also check our website www.kite-show.com for more info.
