'Battle For The Bay' on Bull Island This Weekend

26th May 2012

#KITESURFING - Ireland's top kitesurfers and stand-up paddlers will be out in force on Dollymount Strand this weekend for the sixth Battle For The Bay.

The second leg of the Irish Kitesurfing Association (ISKA) Tour will see the best of Irish kitesurfing talent take on riders from around the globe at one of the best spots in Ireland for the sport. Organisers describe the concept as very simple: fun, wind, watt and fun!

Stand-up paddleboarding - a hybrid of longboarding and kayaking - will also have its day in the sun with the second annual Battle For The Paddle.

Racing will be the highlight, of course, but the weekend will also feature demos on the beach, a freestyle show and kite introductions for newcomers, plus a beach party and BBQ and much more.
