The Kiteboard Pro World Tour KPWT 2008 has come to an end yesterday on the beautiful beach of Essaouira. After a year travelling around the world, 7 events, 5 disciplines, more than 100 riders taking part of the Tour and 190000€ prize money in total , the whole caravan of the Tour deserves some time off before next year.
For his 10 year Anniversary, the KPWT had a great season with the arrival of new kiteboarding stars. Congratulations to our 2008 KPWT Overall World Champions Jesse RICHMAN from Hawaii and Ania GRZELINSKA from Poland. They are new comers on the Tour and they really made the sport improve a lot in terms of style and performance.
Many thanks to our sponsors, our local organizers and all the riders who follow the Kiteboard Pro World Tour.
Some surprises and new venues are planned for the future. So get connected and follow the news of the Kiteboard Pro World Tour!
