The youth empire uk websitre as just gone live. So if you are young and into kiteboarding this might be the place for you to hook up with fellow kiteboarder of your age!
Youth Empire is a gathering of the world's next generation of kiteboarders. Powered by Cabrinha, programs throughout the world offer young riders from the ages of 10-18 an opportunity to learn more about kiteboarding and the lifestyle. Activities include clinics, demos and talks by pro riders.
How did it all started?
In 2008, Youth Empire UK partnered with the British kite Surfing Association to offer 4 clinics to riders between the ages of 10-18. Each course touched various areas of kitesurfing such as safety, riding, tuning, competitions, fitness, sponsorship and attitude. After each course, participants were given action plans to help them improve and become better kitesurfers. The end of the year finished off with a Master Class with Andre Phillip, Susi Mai and David Hastilow at the Animal Windfest in Poole Dorest. Participants had a chance to hang out and question some of the greatest kitesurfers and personalities in kitesurfing.
If you are interested in joining the Youth Empire, contact the British Kite Surfing Association (BKSA) and you will receive a questionnaire from the coaches to determine your skill level and experience. We will then contact you regarding the schedule for the upcoming year.
