About the IKA TwinTip:Racing Class
Originally set up as grass-roots and youth racing program, the class philosophy is to allow all riders to compete on “every day” kiteboarding equipment with minimum limitations.
Twin tip kiteboards are used by the vast majority of kiteboarders and can be found on virtually every beach around the world.
The Slalom/Boardercross formats combine “first past the post” racing with spectacular jumps, kiteboarding’s stand-out feature as a sailing discipline.
IKA TwinTip:Racing has been selected as an event for boys and girls born between 2000 and 2003 to feature in the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires in 2018, promising a spectacle similar to the successful Snowboard and Ski Boardercross disciplines of the Winter Olympics.
