AWSI kiter of the year - providing some serious eye candy
Definitely kite related... There's a harness there!
It's just like when the wildcard entries open for the Triple S competition, the internet all of a sudden gets flooded with videos showing the worlds best riders giving it all they've got. The only difference with the AWSI awards, is that we get to see all types of riders, not just wakestylers and surfers. We see racers, we see the freeriders and of course we still get all the freestyle videos.
The AWSI is the Association of Wind and Water Sports Industries. A group in the US that help to organise shops and huge demo events like the Pismo Beach Kite Expo, which is usually the launch of most brands new gear for the upcoming season. The competition for rider of the year has been running since 2011, and this year it's already got more entries than ever, despite the fact there's still a week to go before entries close.
If you think you've got what it takes to be crowned the rider of the year, or you've got some pretty amazing video skills that can make it look that way. Submit your entries before the 26th of August and see how you go.
In the meantime, we offer you this from Bruna. Who is well and truly using what nature gave her to get the judges attention.
