The PUKL UK National Big Air Championships explode onto the Portland Coast with legendary jumps
What a crazy day, fam! The British kitesurfing battle is over, leaving wild jumps and otherworldly tricks behind. The 2025 PUKL Big Air Nationals was undoubtedly the most anticipated competition in the UK, and the event gave us two days of pure adrenaline on the Portland coast.
SUELTALABARRA Family! The skies of Portland were filled with impossible megaloops and heart-stopping maneuvers. The video of the event makes it clear: the conditions were intense, with strong winds that tested each rider's technique and courage. We saw competitors face powerful waves and gusts that demanded absolute control, demonstrating why they are the Big Air elite.
The best riders in the country, including many from our family and alumni, gave their all to fight for the national title. The atmosphere was incredible, and the spirit of camaraderie was felt both on the water and at the post-event party. But the competition was on another level!
From the first seconds of the RECAP video, the energy is palpable: high-flying kites, powerful landings, and the excitement on the riders' faces. The dedication to every trick was evident, from the most daring kiteloops to the cleanest aerial transitions. A true delight for Big Air lovers!
