All eyes of the extreme sports world will be on the British Virgin Islands in anticipation of the inaugural BVI Kitejam event from March 1 to 5, 2010. Five days of inter-island events including flat water freestyle, waves, sliders and racing, plus A-list parties on some of the destination’s top locales will serve to highlight the destination as a kiteboarding Mecca for riders from around the globe.

Originally inspired by an impromptu race by Sir Richard Branson and friends from Necker Island to Anegada, BVI Kite Jam 2010 will include visual competitions, demonstrations and technique clinics taking place in key locations throughout the British Virgin Islands. The BVI, an archipelago of some 60 idyllic islands, islets and cays in the northeastern Caribbean, provides the perfect weather conditions and winds necessary for kiteboarding.
The event in March will kick off the festivities on February 27, 2010 with a VIP Party at the Fat Virgin Café on Virgin Gorda. Additional events, competitions, parties and meals will be hosted on Bitter End Yacht Club,
Necker Island, Anegada and Moskito Island for Kite Jam participants throughout the five days.
