The top European kiters were gathered at the beautiful Hang Loose Beach in Gizzeria Italy for the 2013 European Kite Racing Championship.

Top sailing conditions with constant wind every day and great level of competition among the 90 riders that were present.

After five days of intense racing the British Oliver Bridge was crowned the new Kite Racing Europeans champion for 2013 and it would be a hard record to beat, winning the Europeans at his young age of only 15 years old.

It was to be two Bridges on top at this years championships after an amazing finale in the women's racing too. Steph Bridge dominated the competition taking the top spot, with Holland's Roose in second place.
