Kitesurfing Boards Crew about Kite Show Cumbuco 2009. Old school rocks!!
Kite Show cumbuco claims to be “the most entertaining kiteboarding event in the world”.
Their slogan is “KITEboarding is back!” and what they want to mean is Old school, big airs, lots of spins, grabs, etc. what, we have to admit, it is a lot of fun for the riders and for those enjoying a caipirinha on the beach.
If you add temperatures between 23°C and 30°C, water temperature around the 28°, wind everyday, flat water and waves, you can be sure Cumbuco must be a big show also during this competition.
This is just a couple of examples to give an idea of the disciplines in competion, this is going to be fun:
CORE Hangtime

Great opportunity to see the new 2010 kitesurfing boards, kites and other new kitesurfing equipment. We are going to miss it this year, just waiting for the winter to get closer before going down there or perhaps Cape Verde, we have not taken a decision yes, what would you recommend?
