E365 -- Wavemaster. Master of the Wave. That's a pretty cool title to hold if you're a kitesurfer, and it all went down in Conney Beach, South Wales on the weekend as the BKSA went ahead with their third year of kitesurfing action.
What: British Kitesurfing Wavemaster Champs

Now in its 3rd year, the British Kite Surf Association held it’s Wave Master Championships at Porthcawl, South Wales. Hosted by Rush Extreme in conjunction with the BKSA, the Wave Master competition, held at Conney Beach, saw riders turn out in force to compete for the titles in the 4 classes; Men’s, Ladies, Senior’s (over 35) and Junior’s.
In nailbiting conditions, riders were maxed with their 6– 9m kites in the 35 knot winds and 6ft waves. Riders from all over the country gave it their best shot; the standard being extremely high. Riders were judged on their two best waves of each heat in a straight knockout competition. Storming into the final was Will Bennett from Cornwall, sponsored by; GK Kites, Santa Cruz Surfboards, Airjam and Atlantic Riders, giving a fantastic display of ‘strapless riding’ to take the Pro Men’s Wave Master title, with last years title holder Nigel Howell also riding GK Kites from, The Isle of Wight, sponsored by White Air coming a close 2nd
In the semi-final Denzil Williams from Cornwall, sponsored by; F-One, Balin, Snugg, Mystic, Airjam & West Pharmaceuticals took 3rd place narrowly beating John Ellman Brown, sponsored by Stormriders, who came 4th
In the Pro Ladies category, Welsh proved best with the top 3 riders all coming from Wales. Kirsty Jones, from West Wales, sponsored by; Animal, Flexifoil, Surfers Against Sewage & Maui Magic proved why she is one of the top wave riders in the world when she won the title for the second time in 3 years to become the BKSA Pro Ladies Wave Master Champion. Current British Freestyle Champion, Johara Sykes Davies, from Llandudno, North Wales, sponsored by; Flexifoil, Jimmy Lewis, Protest, Turbulence & Mint Condition Gym at The Imperial Hotel, Llandudno, took 2nd place, with local rider, Sarah Eager, from Porthcawl, sponsored by Rush coming 3rd.
