There were actually hundreds of photographers there, it is attracting quite a crowd. Funny though that the most viewed picture in a kiteboarding gallery is the Yamaha chick.

The event is running all week with the finals being held on Saturday.

Perhaps most of us on here are too old for kiteboarding!

The competitions have been going on and they have included SUP, stand up paddle surfing, which is an equally tough sport.

The finals are tomorrow, lets hope for some big wind!
