The Spain Kiteboarding League successfully closes the third edition
Tarifa, with epic conditions, crowns Kiko Roig, David Tonijuan, Alexandra Torres, Jeremy Burlando and Keanu Merten 🐾 as champions of the SKL 2019.
“A weekend full of spectacle and with a wind of Levante that not even in the best dreams we could imagine”, this is the summary that Ignacio del Águila González-Outón does about what happened on the beach of Valdevaqueros this last weekend of August. Where the third round of the Spain Kiteboarding League 2019 has been played.
On Saturday the impressive weather conditions for the practice of kite followed. On this day, turn for the double eliminations. The twin-tip freestyle boys would open fire, where the most outstanding was Jerome Cloetens’s great performance winning five heats in row and his confrontation with the almighty Liam Whaley in the final. The first place has finally taken the latter with an incredible Backside 317.
Afternoon the girls entered in the water. In this case, remarkable comeback of Isabeau Galiart until second place, although Alexandra Torres did not miss the first place.
Finally, in the strapless men’s stand out the role of the kitesurfers of Huelva Rafael del Castillo and Rubén Cano (second and third), as well as the incredible Kiko Roig, who made an almost perfect heat obtaining 30 of 30 points from 3 of the 5 judges, something never seen so far in the SKL.

They did it to dispute the first sub16 finals of the history of the SKL. They opened fire in the category of freestyle tiwn-tip, whose final confronted Jeremy Burlando with the young Marten Marco 🐾, who starred in a melee fight. Jeremy was the winner with KGB, Heart-Attack and Back-Mobe; All of them complex tricks and performed with an impeccable technique.
Late afternoon, it was the turn of the young strapless. The first and second place final between Keanu Merten 🐾 and Noah Nicolas 🐾 was a spectacle. Both have managed to round some tricks of great difficulty with a perfect finish. Merten has achieved the victory with a very good heat landing an unexpected and surprising kiteloop-rodeo.
A free expression session, in which the competitors entered the water 8 by 8 to throw the best tricks they know without the pressure of the competition, gave way to the awards ceremony, in which the new champions of the Spain Kiteboarding League were crowned.
