And here it is… The riders fleet for the High Five Cape Town Kook Contest 2025 ⚡️

👉🏼 SWIPE for riders list for Men, Women and the new Grom Squad heat!

The judges have deliberated and selected this set of riders from a ridiculously strong number of entries🚀 

So congratulations to all the riders selected!

‼️ Exciting news‼️ 

As a testament to the incredible youth talent that came through in the entries, we have decided to run a GROM SQUAD heat, an 8 minute heat during the competition, winner takes all! A session for the up and coming young riders to showcase their skills in the competition space!

🚀What is the Kook Contest?🚀

The Kook Contest is all about giving first-time competitors a shot at the action! 😇 In this competition, a Kook isn’t an insult—it’s simply our way of defining a rider who has never competed in a professional kitesurfing competition before.

More than anything, the Kook Contest is about progression, passion, and pure stoke. Whether here to compete, improve, or just have the best time with fellow kiters and the community, this event will be one to remember☀️

⚡️WINDOW PERIOD: Monday 17 February 2025 - Monday 3 Mach 2025

⚡️LOCATION: High Five (66 and 68 Beach Boulevard, Table View)

Thanks you to our main sponsor: OPEN OCEAN for sponsoring some epic prizes for the event! Stay tuned for updates 🫶🏼🚀
