Last February Slingshot Australia showcased kitesurfing as a demonstration sport at the Surf Fest event, an ASP 6 star World Qualifying Series (WQS) held in Newcastle Australia.
This was significant step for Kite surfing because it gave the whole surf industry, pro surfers and the large public an opportunity to see the potential of a kite to surf.
A group of riders leaded by Patrick Rebstock did a 20 min demonstration in front of thousands of surfing spectators at Merewether beach in New South Wales.
