KOTA 2022 - The New Era of Big Air

kite › Events / Links

 With extreme conditions and a fleet of exceptional young talent, the 2022 Red Bull King of the Air was a powder keg waiting to explode with an astonishing show of the world’s best big air kiteboarding. For the first time ever, Timo Boersema and Cohan van Dijk embarked on their KOTA journey while Stig Hoefnagel returned for a second year in a row - all ready to take on whatever Mother Nature had in store.

Go behind-the-scenes and get to know these three top big air riders as they prepare and compete in the KOTA competition. Watch as they push themselves past their limits through some of the most extreme Cape Town conditions.

The Naish Pivot excelled throughout KOTA without needing to be switched out for a different model like many other kites in the competition - a testament to its versatility and performance at the highest level.

    What kind of goggles do they wear? I see even fans or non-kiteskiiers wearing them. Do the fans wear them because it keeps the wind and blowing sand out of their eyes? I'm thinking of how they might work as I travel around the world on my mountain bike I'm going to equip with pannier travel bags. I wonder if a pair of those would help me in certain conditions. Just discovered this sport watching a quick 60 second clip of Kitegirls and didn't know the sport existed. It makes me more earnest to travel the world and along the way see some of these competitions. Are there a lot of serious injuries with this sport? Thanks for a great video!

    Stop to say "Mother Nature" when hundreds of fun boys take the plane to go from Hawaii to South AFrica, Tahiti, Portugal and so many other places just to have fun. You'd better say : I don't mind if you suffer poor nature. And go to hell ! Me I want to enjoy carbonfull fun !
