On May 10th, Greatstone turned into a launch zone as the second edition of this epic comp kicked off the BKSA Tour 2025 with serious style, serious wind, and seriously huge sends.
May 10th, Greatstone on Sea — and boom, just like that, the BKSA Tour 2025 is officially off the ground.
Hosted by the legends at Greatstone Kite & Foil Club, teaming up with Infinity Sport Kitesurfing and the British Kitesports Association, the GR8 STONE Big Air came back for its second epic year — and somehow, it was even wilder than the first.
Yep. Year two. And still totally unhinged in the best way.
This wasn’t just a comp. It was a full-blown kite party with altitude.
You had it all — heavy wind, chunky tide, sky-high boosts, and a crew of absolute maniacs sending it to the moon. Whether you were riding, watching, or just getting blasted by sand, you felt the energy. GR8 STONE brought the heat — and lit the fuse for the rest of the BKSA season.

Two Years Deep — Still Blowing Minds
The GR8 STONE Big Air ain’t some one-hit wonder — this was year two, and it proved this comp is here to stay. Bigger, bolder, and even more bonkers than before. What started as a local blast is turning into one of the must-hit stops on the BKSA calendar.
This wasn’t just about medals or podiums — it was about pushing limits, backing your crew, and flying for the love of it. Community showed up, the riders threw down, and the season launched with a bang you could hear across the Channel.
Next up: Troon, Scotland.
New spot. New wind. More send.
Keep it lit. Stay stoked. See you in the sky.
