It's back! In February 2013 Red Bull King of the Air returns from a 7 year Hiatus to a stunning new location: Big Bay in Cape Town, South Africa Red Bull King of the Air has found new energy to bring back the wowfactor of kiteboarding. In the past Red Bull King of the Air was the most prestigious event in kiteboarding, where the world’s best battled it out with the biggest airs. The sport has gone in many different directions since. Now seven years later, an all new format focused on extreme big airs and a new location is going to bring us to new heights of kiteboarding.

Sounds interesting, but what's the goal here? Big air or technical tricks? Or both? Megaloop handle pass board off? No riders on the invite list yet.

Re: 2013 Red Bull King of the Air - It's Back
my guess is both. big air with some sort of technicality included. maybe like, a kung fu air or something.ramsey wrote:Sounds interesting, but what's the goal here? Big air or technical tricks? Or both? Megaloop handle pass board off? No riders on the invite list yet.

Well, it's got to be big, it has to be something that's sure to please a crowd. I'd imagine however you can wrap the most spectacular big tricks with technical prowess and style while getting as much air as possible and landing it would be the formula for this contest. That's probably what they are looking for, it's not PKRA and kiting disciplines are more specific now, so that in itself narrows down the list of potential winners. So it will be Ruben or Robbie, haha... Strictly old-school big air won't cut it and neither will low, powered wakestyle. You know what Red Bull wants...

If it was a whitey, it wouldn't be an issue.
Let him be. Lets jump big.
