On Sunday 16th November, the East Kent Kitesurfing Community held its inaugural Safety Awareness & Deep-Water Pack-Down Training Day at Minnis Bay — and it turned out to be one of the standout community moments of the year.

Despite cold, wintery conditions, riders showed up ready to learn, ready to practise, and ready to support one another in building safer habits on and off the water.

We’re excited to announce the 6th annual Kitesurf Downwind Fundraiser!

This year marks a new chapter. Instead of being run by the local kite schools, the event will now take place under the umbrella of the East Kent Kite Club (EKKC) – a newly formed, BKSA-registered club bringing together kitesurfers from across the whole of East Kent. Our aim is to strengthen the community, share the stoke, and use our sport as a force for good.
