Goed initiatief van Corona, een nieuwe disipline, geschikt voor een bredere groep riders. En daarna...Biertje? Alleen jammer dat er geen stop in Nederland is....
Kite Cross Tour ‘05
For the second year running, Corona Extra is putting its energies into Kiteboarding.
However, as it is anxious to channel these efforts into promoting, above all, the sport and a certain lifestyle, the competition that is being organised aims to be unlike anything that you’ve seen before.
After all, Kite Cross is very much a spectator sport, whose fun image belies the skill of the boarders who need to be able to juggle speed, an obstacle course, free style, careful positioning and race planning.
This will therefore be the main focus of the 2005 season.
Although Kite Cross may be the main ingredient, we will also spice up the event with best trick, down wind, etc.
In fact, what we want to do is give everyone the possibility of participating on an equal footing.
Professionals, amateurs, women and men will come up against something totally new and different, in a spirit of emulation and discovery that the Kite Cross Tour sets out to promote.
The principle :
The aim is to complete the course fixed by the race director in the shortest time possible.
But to add another level of difficulty, the course can be completed by negotiating the obstacles with an imposed figure.
The challenge:
The challenge is twofold :
• To win the men’s/women’s champion titles.
• To take home the prize money of 10,000 US$, shared out and awarded at the end of the last heat of the Corona Kite Cross Tour ’05.
Where & When?
• France : • Great Britain • Germany : • Greece : NAXOS 1 – 2 – 3 July • Spain :
All the necessary information will be available on the site www.coronakite.org as from the 1st of April and updated in the course of the season.
Both on the water and the beach, all those who take up our invitation can look forward to one big party.
