King Bay, located at Boao on Hainan Island is a new location for kiteboarding and also a new resort, we will in fact be some of the first people to ever use this site for a competition and it promises to be quite an experience. So don’t miss out check out now on how to be there at the event website http://www.kingbay.cn/Kb (met heel irritant facebook icoontje)
For the first time ever China will host the IKA World Course Racing Championship in 2013 and there is no better location for this event than the beach at King Bay on Hainan Island.
The championships will be located at Boao, on the east coast of Hainan Island and we would like to welcome you to one of China's newest kiting locations.

Hainan's climate is tropical, characterised by hot and humid summers, with mild, pleasant winters. Temperatures usually range from 24-35°C in the summer, and 19-25°C in the winter.
The 2013 World Course Race Championship will be run under the organisation of the IKA and the Hainan Sports Department With the event being sponsored and hosted by King Bay with event operation and management support from the KTA.
King Bay will be offering free accommodation at their newly opened 5 star hotel and meals throughout the day to all competitors as part of the World Championship rider's package. Riders may also arrive up to one week in advance of the competition to warm up and get used to local conditions also as part of the rider's package, so free of charge.
All involved are aiming to make this an enjoyable and unique Championship experience for you, with not only the comfort of the King Bay location but support for you on the beach with large onsite storage for all your equipment, set-up and test areas, repair stations for both kites and boards, along with sports therapists to help keep you in top form.
