List of this year's Amateur contests

Boarder Cross

Two Kiteboarders racing in the South Padre Island Kiteboarding Course Race

The Boarder X is sure to challenge racer's skills, endurance, and speed around a demanding course. Kiteboarding in close quarters with other competitors changes things up in the way one must race around a course. Obstacles and other kiteboarders will constantly be popping up in your way, so you must stay focused and avoid all hang-ups.

South Padre Island, Texas is home to strong winds and flat race water, making it a prime location to hold this amateur kite boarding competition.
