The first Tulum Sport Festival was a great success!!!!
Kiteboarding  Free Style , Paragliding, Beach Volley , Music and a lot of nice people have been the components of success of this sport festival.
Marco Cristofanelli, owner of Extreme Control Kiteboarding and Diving School was thinking for a long time to have an event in Tulum to show the beauty of Tulum and to encourage more and more people to make Tulum a great kiting spot and mellow atmosphere.

It was that time of year again when kiters around the Yucatan peninsula gather to take advantage of the awesome winds blowing off the Gulf Coast. But it wasn't just the awesome winds that had people coming to Tel Chac Puerto from miles away but the unbelievable flying acrobatics and big air of Mexico's kite boarding clan. The group was out in numbers this year showing off their new tricks. The festivities and competition began on Saturday March 17 at the all-inclusive Yucatan Reef Hotel. This year seemed a bit more organized than last and I am sure each year will get bigger and better as do the kiters.

Tulum Sports Festival 2007 is dedicated to the pure raw energy of the Caribbean. The white sand beaches and clear blue waters set a perfect stage for a beach sport festival. Please come be a part of promoting the active beach lifestyle of Tulum.

The festival will celebrate the exciting spectator sport of kiteboarding which combines the freedom of the wind, the energy of the ocean and the power of the kite to create an unsurpassed rush of adrenaline. This addiction to wind is spreading like fire as this sport is gaining popularity across the globe. Crowds gather to watch the flying acrobats of this extreme sport.

On August 12, 2006, Extreme Control headed up to the bustling metropolis of Cancun to participate in the biggest beach party in the world.  The folks at Lomas Travel invited us to the festivities so that we could help promote their company and our school. 

It was a classic Caribbean day with the sun shining, the sea glowing and music playing.
