06.08.2010 - PKRA Kiteboarding World Tour The kiteboarding world championship kicks off on Tuesday in El Médano. Over 150 sportsmen and women from 12 countries have gathered together to measure themselves against each other in freestyle and wave competitions. The wind and tides along the Granadilla coastline guarantee that the competitors will have the best conditions to demonstrate their technical abilities. Prizes totalling €10,000 for the wave competitions and €20,000 for freestyling are up for grabs. A relatively new sport which sees its devotees doubling every year, kiteboarding combines elements of surfing, windsurfing and wakeboarding. It’s fabulous to do and spectacular to watch. The organisers have also arranged parallel activities such as Team Building, a Formula One Red Bull simulator and a climbing wall for visitors to the area. There are daily competitions from 11am to 6pm, Tuesday to Saturday with prize giving at 9pm on the Saturday and a big windup party at 11pm. Well worth a visit.
