After last year’s very successful first Europeans championships at Watergate Bay, it is now time to announce this year’s event in Tarifa, Spain.
This is an invitation for you to pre-register for the Bodyglove European Kite Surfing Championships to be held at Tarifa, Andalucia Spain from 29th September to 5th October (registration time to be confirmed). THE PRIZE MONEY WILL BE 20,000 EUROS, the winner will also be crowned Bodyglove European Kite Surfing Champion 2003, and will receive a trophy to be kept for a year.
Judges for the event will be KBPT or PKRA qualified. Each judge will come from a different European country. The event, to be run by the British Kite Surfing Association, is being organised by the Extreme Academy.
All riders selected to compete will receive:
* Discounted accommodation
* Breakfast each day
* A rash vest and event T-shirt
* Promotion on a dedicated event website (in 2002 the website got 340,200 hits in 30 days) with photograph, resume, sponsor details and a link to their own site.
* Photography of themselves competing at the event
* Access to the official event film crew for interviews.
* Free entry and VIP treatment at all of the event parties.


Selection of the 32 riders for the men's event and 16 riders for the women's event will be based on the following:-

* Ensuring that as many European Countries are represented as possible (we are aiming to beat last year’s representation of 10 countries).
* Current ranking in previous 12 months events.

Hope to see you in Tarifa!!
