The Triple S Invitational kicked off a couple of days ago with riders from all around the world joining together in Hatteras, North Carolina. Hatteras National Seashore island is 70 miles long is only a thin strip of sand that is 30 miles off the coast of North Carolina. So it is basically out in the Atlantic Ocean leaving it's beaches and bays exposed to the elements to receive high winds and large surf which create great conditions for kiteboarding.
The competition is held at Real Watersports in Waves, NC and features the worlds biggest and most advanced slider park with two kickers, an 82 foot long A-frame, a 56 foot long rooftop rail, and 45 foot reverse rainbow.
The Triple S invitational event features park style and wake style riding, which means the riders will be doing tricks off of various features, and battling for $50,000 in prize money and the glory of being crowned the 2018 Wind Voyager Triple-S Invitational Champion.
The excitement starts off with the Triple S Open where amateurs are able to make themselves known by attacking the sliders and kickers with all that they've got to get a chance to compete with the pros. Two women and two men advance to the Invitiational and then the best of the invitational takes home the crown
