Jeep Tarifa Pro – Day 2 – Air Games Action

STRIKE ONE – AIR GAMES

The light Poniente wind was boosted by an afternoon thermal giving the Kiteboarding Air Games World Tour riders a chance to show what they could do in around 18 knots. Of course this is at the lower end of the wish for wind speed for this tour for big tricks, BUT we’re looking for the most all round and complete twin-tip riders and what would a world tour be without a test!
