The Fly to….Red Bull King of the Air went off without a hitch this past weekend August 6-8th, at REAL kiteboarding in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Hosted by REAL and run at “The Slickâ€, one of the best flat water riding venues in the world, winners of this event are sent to Maui, Hawaii courtesy of Red Bull to compete in the “Red Bull King of the Air†main event. Conditions for this event were near perfect with winds in the 30+ knot range on Friday and a tamer 12-18 knots on Saturday. Competitors in the Men’s and Women’s Divisions traveled from all over the US, Canada and the Caribbean to this event in hopes of winning a free berth to the main event held in October.
The Red Bull schedule of events saw an Expression Session Friday evening and then rounds of freestyle heats scheduled for Saturday and Sunday. The Expression Session Friday evening was implemented as much for a warm up and welcome session as it was for a “fail safe†contest result in the event there was no wind for the main event on Saturday and Sunday. What was originally planned as a “sunset super sessionâ€, turned out to be the highlight of the contest and the best heat in kiteboarding history !
