From September 1 to 8, the third tour stop of the Big Air Kite League (BAKL). After the first in Cape Town, Tarifa was visited during the Full Power Tarifa Kite Fest. And now it's Brazil's turn. The event is held during the Tatajuba Fest.
For pros and amateurs
Very cool, because there are again 2 matches. One for the so-called amateur Big Air kite surfers and one for the absolute world top. Anyway, we're running 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.
