The moment you have all been waiting for is finally here, and no, we are not referring to the weekend or any upcoming holiday that brings a twinkle to your eyes. We are talking about one of the greatest kite events since the dawn of mankind. While there are many great kiteboarding locations around the globe, perhaps one of the most historical and elusive is that of Hood River, Oregon, the birthplace of park riding and the pinnacle force that sustains its continuation. 

This year the Kite Park League is proud to announce a new partnership with THE QATAR AIRWAYS GKA KITE WORLD TOUR to present THE QATAR AIRWAYS GKA KITE PARK LEAGUE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2024. 

The event will be held from August 3rd - 10th and will crown this years QATAR AIRWAYS GKA KITE PARK WORLD CHAMPIONS 2024 in both men’s and women’s divisions. Without question, this will be a week to remember. 

Stay Tuned and be ready.

Fehmarn, Germany: 24 – 28th August 2018

The fourth event on this new world tour will be in Fehmarn at the Mercedes-Benz Kitesurf World Cup, one of Europe’s biggest kiteboarding events.

Jesse Richman and Carlos Mario are locked in a tight battle at the top for the title, but several other riders are close behind and still in contention should one of these guys not make the finals!

In the women’s, Mikaili Sol has beaten Hannah Whiteley in two finals so leads the way, so her fate is in her own hands.

Prevailing winds

Prevailing southwesterly winds blow in from the right and can get pretty strong as the summer turns to autumn at the end of August.

Water conditions

Flat water on the inside, short chop on the outside and prevailing cross-offshore wind make this an ideal location for spectators with riders coming close in to the beach!     Fehmarn - GKA KBWT
