Following the success of the 2022 KPL Team Battle in Hood River, Oregon—which reignited the energy of competitive park riding—the stage was set for an exciting new season. In 2023, the Kite Park League proudly launched a world tour featuring three stops across the globe: Villa La Angostura, Argentina; Sicily, Italy; and Taiba, Brazil. The season will also include the return of the Team Battle in Hood River, USA. Fans are invited to follow along as the KPL brings the thrill of park riding to an international audience.

For those who missed the event or want a closer look, the KPL encourages everyone to visit its social media channels for highlights of the custom-built park and the incredible riding that went down at the Patagonia Invitational. A huge thank-you goes out to the sponsors who made this event possible: GPX Store, Asociación Argentina de Kite, Tabla Shop, Second Wind, F-One, Cavok World, Corona, Ride Engine, Airush, and Duotone.

Special thanks also go to head judge Wenceslao Nowotny, media team members Andre Magarao, Pablo Rios, Canoa Films, Mora Gallart, and the event coordinators. Most importantly, the KPL extends heartfelt gratitude to Rami Gallart, the driving force behind the Patagonia Invitational, whose vision and dedication elevated this event to the global stage.

As stop one concludes in Villa La Angostura, the excitement now turns toward Sicily, Italy, for the second stop of the 2023 tour. Save the date, get ready, and thank you for supporting the most inclusive and progressive platform in competitive kiteboarding.

Sincerely,
The KPL Staff & Chief Editor
That’s it, that’s all, folks.
