KPWT Morocco

KPWT is proud to announce that the final event of the 2009 calendar will be back in Morocco for the second year.

It will take place in Essaouira from the 4th until the 13th of December 2009.

Prize money for this grand event is set at 30 000 Euros.
The four disciplines being held will be Freestyle, Wave Masters, Course racing, juniors and Kiteloop.

The riders all are excited for their last chance to enjoy the competition and to make that final push for all the KPWT World Championship title. Waves, Freestyle, Course Racing, Kiteloop, Junior.

Top internationals are registered and will be there to show off their skills in this sublime kiting location. Jesse Richman (HAW, CABRINHA), is sitting on the top of the overall men's title after Dakhla and will be competing for yet another World championship Title on the KPWT.

He will face some serious competition though from the veterans on the tour now, Antoine Auriol and Vincent Tiger, both from France.

Essaouira boasts miles of superb sandy beach with wooded hills standing tall on the skyline to the east. It dominates a vast bay with the beach stretching south for about two miles to an even older, ruined fortification dating back to Portuguese occupation. Here the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Oceans merge to create two strikingly different coastlines.
