Red Bull King of The Air

This year marks the 12th year of Red Bull King of the Air being hosted in Cape Town, South Africa. The world’s best kiteboarders will descend upon the Mother City for some massive air and huge scores. This year will see a groundbreaking innovation: for the first time in the event's history, an official Women’s Division has been introduced, marking a new chapter in the sport of Big Air kiteboarding. Riders in all divisions are judged based on the height of their jumps, variety of tricks, and style. Kite Beach in Table View is known as the Capetonian Mecca of Kitesurfing. The beach is perfectly angled for riders to make the most of the prevailing Summer Southeasterly wind (affectionately known as the Cape Doctor) as well as the Westerly swell needed to provide the ramps for the kiters to launch off.
