Skegness X-Fest
X-Fest: Kitesurfing Party To Hit Skegness
X-Fest -- They said there would be no wind for Xfest 2006 but Skegness showed why it is so bracing and proved the forecasters wrong. And now organiser Skegness Surf and Kite Academy is preparing to make it big again by staging a round of the British Kite Surfing Association 2007 Freestyle Championships.
Thousands of people from all over the country are expected to flock to the East Coast to soak up three days of Pro Tour action on the sea and beach area starting on Friday, June 22, until Sunday, June 24, on North Beach, Skegness.
This year the Skegness event is linking with the BKSA round being held at Hunstanton the weekend before as part of a new Wash series.BKSA chairman Richard Gowers said: “I think both the East coast events are going to be mega busy - the Barrow one is getting a lot of interest - the whole tour is getting quite a reputation for great riding and great parties!!”
A highlight of the weekend, which also includes a skate jam hosted by Xsite Skate Park, is a horsesurfing spectacular by Independent Horse stunt riders on the Sunday.
A free party, live bands, fireworks, trade and craft stalls are also billed to help make the weekend rock.
"In 2006, Skegness gained credibility as an extreme sports destination. The riders loved it and said they couldn't wait to come back," said event director Chrissie Redford. "This year, as part of the Pro Tour, it is set to be even more of a spectacle - and very exciting for the future of the resort." For more information or to book a trade stall email skegxfest@yahoo.co.uk or telephone (01754) 898202. Accommodation deals and registration details are available by emailing events@kitesurfing.org
