The event

Big air, open water and a beach club to come home to.

Wind, Water & Wellness brings competition-level kiteboarding to Kite Beach. The Wind Games set the format: three days of big-air heats and open games for every level, with every jump measured by SURFR.

The event is photographed to the standard of the world's leading big-air competitions: riders at full height, the crowd on the beach, the safety crew on the water, and the Kite Beach clubhouse at the centre of it all.

IThe setting

The Clubhouse

The new Kite Beach clubhouse is the event's home: white architecture, a rooftop terrace over the water and open sightlines along the beach.

The Air

The judges' tower, the riders at the top of the jump and the data behind every attempt. Each jump image in the final gallery carries its SURFR height and airtime.

Recovery Club

The ORRA Recovery Club: a mobile sauna, four cold plunges and shade on turf, run as a private members' space beside the competition. Timber, white linen and steam set the tone.

Sunset Sessions

As the wind drops, the Ithemba Youth Choir performs on the beach with Table Mountain behind them. Riders, partners and guests on the sand together as the sun goes down, before the night begins.

VIInto the night

After Dark

The DJ opens from the back of a partner vehicle as the light drops, then moves to the booth. Warm light against cool haze, with partner marks lit rather than printed.
