The Kite Surf Pro (KSP) Professional Wave Tour releases it’s highly anticipated 2011 World Championship Tour schedule, comprised of a three-event series.

The first event takes place on the tropical island paradise of Mauritius, from September 23 to October 2. The tour will then move to the South American continent to take advantage of yet another world-class venue, as a steady flow of south swells march up the coast of Peru. From October 19 to 28 the KSP will hold the second stop of the tour in Pacasmayo. As winter grips the northern hemisphere and large North Atlantic swells take aim at the tiny island of Sal in the Cape Verde, the KSP will be there to crown the 2011 Kitesurf World Champion. The rocky point breaks of Sal will be the perfect venue for the KSP final from December 2 to 12.

The KSP was launched as a rider-driven nonprofit association and was granted the World Championship title in the Wave discipline by the IKA on February 8, 2011. The KSP was founded by a group of surf-dedicated kiters with a vision to create a world championship tour, which through world-wide media distribution, showcases the best kitesurfers on the planet riding at the pinnacle of performance in the world’s premier kitesurf locations. Through the World Championship Tour the KSP hopes to provide a professional platform to enable professional kite surfers to set the progressive performance standard for competitive kite surfing for years to come.

KSP founding members include two-time and defending Kite Surf World Champion Guilly Brandao from Brazil, surf wizard and former Kitesurf World Champion Mitu Monteiro of Cabo Verde and Nicole Gaudimier from Italy, as well as KSP President and nine-time World Champion Kristin Boese, KSP Vice President and renowned American kite surfer Sky Solbach, KSP treasurer Carola Foermer and KSP Media Director Christian Tillmanns. The KSP is also excited to welcome longtime American kite surfer and professional journalist Brian Wheeler, who signed on as the KSP’s Senior Staff Writer.
