The 11th annual Storm Rider competition was held on March 4 at Bat Galim, Haifa, Israel.
Twenty of the best Kiteboarders and 20 of the best Windsurfers compete at this event. This is normally an extreme event with heavy winds and huge waves. This year the weather played a trick on the organizers. The biggest storm of the year was early January, not in February.
The weather was calm until the finals when the wind and waves finally picked up.
Congratulations to the Kiteboard winners: Amit Inbar, Yaron Barlev and Ron Raveh
