The Kiteboard Pro World Tour 2008 came to an end on the beautiful beach of Essaouira. After a year travelling around the world, 7 events, 5 disciplines, more than 100 riders taking part of the Tour and 190000€ prize money in total , the whole caravan of the Tour deserves some time off before next year.
This year's 10th anniversary boasted the arrival of new kiteboarding stars. Congratulations to our 2008 KPWT Overall World Champions Jesse Richman from Hawaii and Ania Grzelinska from Poland. They are new comers on the Tour and they really made the sport improve a lot in terms of style and performance.
