EDGE RACE CUP 11th & 12th JUNE

Edge Race Cup – It’s Almost Here!

Saturday 11th and 12th of June 2016 – Racing, Party with live band, Performance Racing with world class racers, Paddleboarding, Kite demos and free pasties!

The legendary Edge Race cup is back again for 2016 with some big changes that will make the weekend one to remember! We have dropped the slower formula race board fleet in exchange for the full speed kite Hydrofoil class, this change will enable full speed kite racing regardless of the wind strength and also provide some pretty amazing crashes when it all goes wrong.

The Open class is all about fun, open to all riders or any ability and on any shape boards from twin tips to directionals as long as it is narrower that 69cm. The open racing has changed for this year and will be competing on their own simplified course, this will enable close up racing and a great spectator event, if you have been put off entering the event before due to the size of the course then this is the year to get back into racing.

New for 2016 is the Youth Twin tip fleet, for all of our youth kitesurfers this is an idea way to get into racing and will be a really great competitive event that everyone can get involved with.

Pre registrations are available until Sunday the 5th of June with entry forms available to download HERE. Pre registration is £40 with it increasing up to £50 after Sunday. Entry fee includes a ERC Tee, free pasty, saturday meal on the beach and a free beer in the Grapevine pub.

On the beach we will have a full line of demo equipment from North Kiteboarding, Ozone, Fone, Moses Hydrofoils as well as other foil brands. On Sunday we will be hosting a Surfers against sewage beach cleanup.

We are all really looking forward to it, and we look forward to receiving your entry or seeing you at the very least seeing you at the beach!

Beach Clean Up

For 2016 the Edge Race Cup will be working with Surfers against sewage to keep Exmouth beach clean. We will be doing a mass beach clean on the seafront at 9am on the Sunday morning at the event site to help do our part for mother nature.

Demos and Paddleboarding

Paddleboard Races will be held across the weekend during the breaks in competition, whilst kite demos will be available all day from top manufacturers North Kiteboarding, Ozone, Fone, Moses Hydrofoils and other brands.

Silent Auction

The silent auction was incredibly successful last year and raised a stack of cash for surfers against sewage, prizes included Vineyard tours, handmade beanbags, speedboat tours and “Celebrity” tennis matches! This year we will be hosting the auction on our Facebook page, this will enable people who are not able to attend the event to still get involved in supporting this great charity.
