Canterbury (New Zealand) Championships 21/01/08

dvnt riders James Everett and Ian Collenette travelled down to the south island to take part in the Canterbury Championships in Christchurch last weekend that included riders from as far away as Nelson, Whangarei, Auckland and Dunedin. The event had probably the most perfect conditions a New Zealand kitesurfing competition has ever seen, with 18 knots and flat water for Saturdays Freestyle comp and 25-30 knots for Sundays wave (big surf) and hangtime comp.

Ian was stoked to get through to the semi final heat of the freestyle competition. This was a totally epic weekend of riding, and thanks go to our great hosts. If you get the chance check this event out next year for sure - it rocks.
