The line-up for the Red Bull King of The Air 2018 has been announced!

The greatest kiteboarding show on earth is barely a month away and, after a hectic couple of months as the best Big Air chargers in the game put together edits of their most insane riding in the hopes of gaining entry to the prestigious Red Bull King of the Air – the official rider’s list has now been revealed!

The event’s also moving from Big Bay to Kite Beach, where the wind is generally much stronger, so this year should be an epic!
