Kite-safari – The Kenya Cup | 04/12/2004 | ||||
2nd – 17th January 2005 In early January 2005 for the first time an invitational Pro- kitesurf event will be held in Kenya - East Africa. Kitesurfers Kirsty Jones (UK), Danny Seales (UK), Ian Gray (UK) and Richard Boudia (FR) will be following in the footsteps of Livingston and Hemingway by exploring this great wilderness. Award-winning extreme photographer (and Kenyan veteran) David Sims and writer Siobhan Pestano will be on-hand to record the action. The event is organised by David Sims and Craig Rodgers from Extreme Safari, the sports and adventure travel specialists. The team will be staying at “Nomads†which is set in tropical rainforest on the edge of the Indian Ocean at Diani beach. Nomads is a laid back eco-resort and home to kite and windsurf centre, H2O Extreme. The local “Kaskazi†trade wind will enable the team to rip it up in the flat-water lagoon or wave ride on the outside reef, as well as provide the conditions needed for the inaugural hosting of the “Kenyan Cupâ€, which will include Best Trick and Wave-Riding disciplines. |
