Norwegian kiters Bjørn Kaupang and Sigve Botnen participate in the kiteboarding event Big Air Wind Jam, at the San Fransisco Yacht Club, July 27 - 29.
7/27/2007 :: The Kiteboarding Event Big Air Wind Jam will be arranged July 27 - 29 at San Francisco Yacht Club. Two Norwegian kiteboarders, Bjørn Kaupang and Sigve Botnen, will participate, sponsored by the Norwegian Consulate General in San Francisco.
The Big Air Wind Jam will consist of two main events: Big Air and Boardercross. The biggest kiteboarding ramp sn to date has been engineered specially for the Big Air. Using two diesle pumps, the jump pumps water to the top and creates a steady flow on the surface of the ramp, allowing riders to load up there fins before boosting their best airs. This event promises to be the showcase for the whole bay!
The other main event is the Boardercross. Confluent has consulted with Boardercross course expert, Neil Hutchinson to create the best possible course and provide an organized, efficient race event.
