The first ever Student Kitesurfing Nationals are set to take place in the UK later this month.
Hosted by the Southampton University Kitesurf Club, the event will be held at Calshot Beach with 52 competitors taking part.
Fans of the sport can get a slice of the action on March 20th and 21st in an event aimed at some of the country's best university kitesurfers.
This could be one challenge that really allows competitors to show off their skills, as the format of the competition is pure freestyle, which means that people can introduce plenty of old-school tricks into their entry, the Daily Echo reports.
With some top prizes up for grabs -ranging from a holiday to top-of-the-range wetsuits - participants will no doubt be hoping to impress the judges, including a number of pro-riders such as Ali Barrett and James Boulding.
There will be 26 universities taking part.
Calshot Beach lies on the south Hampshire coast and is part of a shingle spit which boasts an impressive array of wildlife.
