The Scottish Power Kite Association

The SPKA has been running for a number of years providing third party Insurance for participents of Power Kite related activities. Power Kiting comes in a number of forms, Kite Buggying, KiteATB'ing, Kite Surfing, Snow Kiting, Kite Jumping and Scudding.

Throughout 2007 the SPKA has continued to be active in the Scottish kiting community, During the season we once again organised a buggy race series at two of our best venues in Scotland, Stevenston and St. Andrews, and also some Freestyl e Landboarding and Buggying competitions. All of which were extremely successful, not to mention our second 'SPKA Summer Fly' annual social gathering.

Information about the Celtic Challenge and Race Day 4

7th/8th of June 2008 - West Sands, St. Andrews, Scotland

In 2007 the Irish took the Quaich after just 1 successful race, but this year all will be different!

With a vast improvement in the skills of the Scottish racers over the past year we hope that this year the prize will be coming to Scotland and forever the nation will remember the year... 2008!

Ok, well, maybe not, but last year all involved had a great time and got to see some Irish scenery as well as meet old and make new friends on the beach.

The second round of the competition will be held at argueably the best beach for flying in Scotland, St. Andrews. It looks likely that due to adverse weather conditions over the SPKA series to date, that the results from the Scottish leg of the Celtic Challenge will contribute towards the annual series.

Registration will be at 10am on Saturday morning.

Report on SPKA Race Day 3

11th of May 2008 - West Sands, St. Andrews, Fife.

Its about time the flyers of Scotland had a decent day on the beach! St. Andrews proved to be an unbeatable venue on Sunday, with winds ranging from 8mph up to 18mph during the day at different times the variation meant that kite choice was very important during the races.

The rest of the report is available on the Events page.
