This year Solaire and Blue Palawan hosted the 1st stop of the rapidly growing Kite Park League world tour. Palawan has so many great locations for kiteboarding, but none are quite as good for wake style and park riding as the water in-front of the Blue Palawan beach resort. With the full HDPE private kite park, it was the perfect spot to kick off the 2017 KPL season.
This year riders from more than 13 different countries gathered together on the beautiful island of Palawan. There was wind every day to get the 2017 Kite Park League under way. In this video you can see how the event ran and some back ground on the heats, tricks and riders that attended.
