Alle riders, geslecteerde, wildcards en video wildcards zijn vandaag bekend gemaakt. Vanaf 25 januari zullen zij stanby staan in Kaapstad om dan op 1 dag met wind met meer dan 30 knopen los te gaan. Met 6 Nederlandse riders moet de titel toch wel naar Nederland gaan dit jaar? 
There are 24 confirmed participants in the lineup for the competition. Hadlow joins 3 other wildcards: current PKRA world champion Alex Pastor, Reno Romeu and Linus Erdman along with the top 12 from the 2013 edition who received automatic entry into this year’s competition. The remaining 8 participants, selected from online entries at www.redbullkingoftheair.co.za, join them to round up the lineup.
The Cape’s famous ‘Cape Doctor – a south-easterly wind – ensures for perfect kiting conditions during South Africa’s summer months and Big Bay in Blouberg, where the event takes place, is a prime location will make for some pretty gnarly airs and big moves when the right wind conditions arrive.
In order to ensure the best wind conditions possible for Red Bull King of the Air to take place, the event window period extends from 25 January 2014 to 9 February 2014.
