KTA Race Centre’s are being set-up throughout Asia in partnership with local kite schools, surf centres and watersports resorts to give you the opportunity to learn how to ride race boards, improve your existing skill level and provide you with race board hire. Race Centre’s are the latest development by the KTA to support the growth of kiteboarding in the region.

The race trainers from each of these locations have been instrumental in supporting the development of the KTA Race Centre Project bringing their skills, knowledge and experience in kiteboarding and kite racing to help us establish the project. So we are very happy that their Race Centre’s will be the first to launch the network.  So check out the location and the information and go and try out a Race Centre near you or add it to your holiday list and learn to ride a race board on your kite trip this time as well as the next jump you want to land and who knows it could open a whole new arena of kiting for you.

This is just the beginning though three we hope of many to come, so keep watching this space to check for announcements of future centre openings.

Each KTA Race Centre will be led by a race trainer who will be able to cover all aspects of race board use, from the basics of set-up and riding through to tacking, gybing and effective downwind riding. The development of race boards in kiteboarding over the past two or three years have added a whole new challenge and dynamic to the sport. For sure this has all come out of the sports drive to be selected for the 2016 Olympics but race boards offer more than just the chance to take up competition racing as can been seen by the brands now developing Freeride race boards to just ride for fun in all conditions as well as turning low wind days into serious sessions and distance riding into a pleasure.
