Some unexpected wind on the final day saw the Triple S run and won. Big kites still the order of the day and some different wind angles but many of the usual suspects prevailed.

Brandon Scheid is always a highlight in the Triple S.
Men’s winner again, Sam Light on the John Wayne A-Frame. It remains one of the core sliders in the Real Kiteboarding slider park. Wind directions made some hits tricky but it’s still a great launch pad for some of the most progressive rail riding in the sport.
The 10th Triple S may have had the least wind but it still delivered some of the best riders on some of the best obstacles in the sport. No doubt the 11th will be back windier and better than ever.
