Beach Vibes 2019

20/06/2019

Trampa Kiteboard Team Rider Kris Beech headed to South Wales for Beach Vibes. Here's what he had to say on the event;

"Beach Vibes took place on the 15th-16th June on the huge beach of Pembrey Sands in South Wales, UK. This is the second year for this event and it really did not disappoint.

It was a back to basics styled event, making it a fun weekend at the beach for all wind powered sports. This was the biggest event of the year, with over 100 people attending.

Saturday morning the weather was excellent and the wind was on shore with around 14-16 knots, giving everyone the full run of the beach. I spent the whole day on my 17m Escape and my Trampa land board. I was doing my usual freestyle tricks and made the most of the vast stretched sands with friends and other riders by racing down the beach as fast as we could, which was great fun. It was really cool to see that everyone had made the effort to travel from all over the UK to be at this one event and everyone was stoked to have such a epic day.



We headed back to the campsite for the evening, where a BBQ was provided by the organisers and it brought us all together again. Tents and vans lined the field with fire pits that kept the night alive with the normal antics that kite events bring, we were never short of a laugh or two.

On the Sunday the weather was overcast with rain showers and the odd bit of sunshine, so we decided to go for a kite surf instead of a land board. The wind was good at 16-18 knots and the kitesurfing was brilliant, would definitely recommend this place for a session. We found a nice lagoon, where we spent the next few hours sending tricks in clear blue flat water, it was the perfect way to end an awesome event and weekend. #neverstopplaying
