KTA - Bintan Island - Indonesia / 22 - 26 january
The KTA returns to Bintan Island in Indonesia for its second season. Bintan provided one of the big surprises during last year’s tour for the KTA in their first visit to the country. Little known for its kiting scene the Indonesian island that sits close to Singapore provide great conditions, good winds, fantastic hosts and a great experience for riders and KTA crew alike. It is with great pleasure and excitement we return to Bintan once again for the 2nd round of the 13/4 Asian Championship Tour.
The Kta Bintan Indonesia 2014 will again be in association with Bintan regency and Agro beach Resort. Situated less than an hour away via comfortable catamaran rides from the modern and culturally vibrant city of Singapore, Bintan Resorts is located on the largest of Indonesia’s enchanting Riau islands in the South China Sea. Experience endless beaches, a wide variety of international-class resorts, and a refreshing host of tropical holiday activities. Bintan hosts many International events each year including iron man competitions and the Tour De Bintan so they are well equipped and experienced in handling more than its fair share of international athletes each year.
The event location and the riders hotel will however not be one and the same location for this season as the government, the Bintan Regency’ would like to host the on-water competition activity at their own events location at Trikora KM 52
The Agro Beach Resort hotel will still remain the main rider and KTA crew home for the week and the venue will also host the Opening and Closing parties for the competition
The new competition location at Trikora KM 52 is a more open water location than that of the Agro Beach Resort Bay, but it is not as sensitive to tides, so no problems this season with the area drying out at low tide or you will be pleased to hear any need to cross over reef areas to get to the start lines.
The completion will carry an equipment prize value of USD 15,000 split equally between the Freestyle RB and TT classes for the top three positions male and female.
everyone the chance to take part – 18/19th January.
