This unique event showcases not one but two of the most exciting watersports – Kitesurfing and Stand Up Paddleboarding.

For those competing for the Legend of the Bay title, this unique competition format makes it both exciting and nail biting till the final hooter of the final round of competition. You cannot step off the gas at any point during any of the heats. You have be winning to stay in the game.
‘There can be only one.. Legend of the Bay’
Competition of both days will aim to start around 9am, with semi-finals and final held towards late afternoon when the tide has turned and will bring the competition closer to the beach, and in front of the Beach Hut. Prize Giving will follow after the completion of the day competition. Ideally it is aimed to stage the Kitesurfing Wave competition on the Saturday, and Stand Up Paddleboard Surf Competition on the Sunday. It however will depend of weather forecast.
Who will be there?
In terms of competitors to watch over the weekend, entry has just opened so no real list so far. However former BSUPA National Champion Neil Gent has confirmed his intensions to compete. Neil has competed on the national scene for both sports for many years, and will be a strong contender for the title. Closer to home Lee ‘Pasty’ Harvey will be strong in the kite competition. Lee paddleboards too so watch this space…
