Five times world kitesurfing champion Aaron Hadlow was a welcome guest at the BKSA Hunstanton National Freestyle event, which took place at the weekend.

Even Hadlow could not influence Friday's weather on the north coast of Norfolk though, as the strong sunshine and still conditions meant no wind. However the day wasn't a total write-off, as the competitors watched the BMX and skateboard events going off.

Saturday dawned having a total of 50 competitors registered for the event. The wind was light form the South West, however it slowly built which enabled the juniors and amateur ladies to be run.

The pro men’s event ran on the Sunday with Luke Whiteside and Ned Taylor standing out early. In the end though it was Lewis Wilby who made it into the final with Ned and Oli Sweeney, with Sweeney stomping home the most tricks in the final and taking home the victory.
