Our annual boosting competition reached its finale on New Years Eve.
A great competition this year, with Terry Bennions taking top spot with a whopping 26.6m!
Most improved was a tied by both John Clasper and Steve Lynch, both improving 4.9m compared to last year!

We were also very pleased to announce that our sponsors were donating £1 for every Km of height jumped in the competition - With a total of 90.1 Km jumped, £90 was donated to the Air Ambulance as a thank you to all the competitors efforts.

2020 AGM

26/5/2020

Our AGM had been somewhat postponed due to the lockdown, but modern technology came to the rescue, but to the detriment of Pizza Hut which has hosted us for many of the past years.
It was great to get together again in a new medium which works pretty well!

Sands of Luce Big Air Weekend

5/10/2019

We had an amazing club trip over to our friends at the Sands of Luce Holiday Park, with an excellent weekend of wind, beer and banter!
On the competition front the club were highly successful, with Mike Birt reclaiming his big air title and Will Haslam taking the riders award for his general riding style and big kiteloops.

Budle Summer Party

14/9/2019

After a couple of attempts to host this years party, it was sadly cancelled due to lack of numbers.
We hope to run it again next year.

BKSA Tour 2019

21/6/2019

Another year on the BKSA freestyle tour!
We had 3 entrants this year, with Pete, Will and Toby representing the club in two fleets.
It was another epic year but somewhat lacking in the wind department. Skegness saw contestable conditions which were made more difficult by a strong tide diminishing the wind. The armada was a similar tale, but without enough wind to make a contest. Ramsgate ended off the year with fantastic hot weather but only just enough wind for foiling, still we made our own fun as usual :)

2019 AGM

2/5/2019

Another year brought us around to the club AGM once again, at the traditional pizza hut location.
It was great to discuss again all things related to the club, to re-elect our committee and to look forward to the following season.

King of The North Competition

19/10/2018

After attending a handful of other big air events, we decided it was time to host our own, with the following rules:

Register your new Woo sessions with the hashtags #KOTN and #NEKC to enter.

The competition is open to anyone and everyone, but to be a King of the North its gotta be done in the North! So only sessions logged on the North East Coast (between the Humber and the Scottish border) will count.

The club will be providing an illustrious trophy for the biggest overall jump in that time, and more prizes to promote 'having a go', personal improvement and general participation; which have been kindly donated by Airush Kiteboarding, Shinnworld andKiteworld Magazine.

The results are due shortly after the end of the year!
