Iedereen die nog wil deelnemen aan King of the Air maar nog niet genoeg storm materiaal heeft geschoten heeft geluk. Gezien de late herfst stormen hebben ze bij Redbull besloten om de inzendings datum te verlengen naar 11 december.
“The extension has been made necessary due to the prevailing weather conditions,” said Sportive Director Sergio Cantagalli. “We like to give locals the chance to properly perform and enter the event,” he said.
According to Cantagalli many professional kiters are using the SA platform for their ‘winter’ training and this has in turn lifted the local level. “The level of riders has been improving technically in the last years,” he said. “Many of them are just awaiting for the Capetonian summer to kick-in a proper south-easter blast to start the battle and get some clips.”
“Extending until December 11th will give more chance to locals, those in Cape Town and everyone around the worl...the game is open to everyone!”
