Today was the second tour stop of the Big Air Kite League (BAKL). After the first in Cape Town, Tarifa was now visited. A nice win-win because of it Full Power Tarifa Kite Fest organizes the Big Air kitesurfing competition in Tarifa.
For pros and amateurs
Very cool because there were 2 matches. One for the so-called amateur Big Air kite surfers and one for the absolute world top. Nevertheless. We run the megaloops not yet so for us they are all professionals. In the competition for the pros, kite surfers earn points in the BAKL World Tour. At the end of the year, the BAKL World Tour will be crowned champion.
