The training wheels are off and the £5,000 Wings & Waves kiteboarding competition has officially begun! 🌊🪁 Facing gusty Atlantic winds, our beginners must now rig their own gear and brave the ocean solo. But will a dangerous rigging mistake cost presenter Tinuke the prize, or can she pull off a flawless water start on her very first try?

Brought to you by North Sails, we’re bridging the world of high-performance sailing and extreme action sports by throwing four absolute beginners into the deep end at Club North FeelViana in Portugal. In Episode 3, the crash course is over. It's time for Round 1 (Rigging) and Round 2 (Water Starts).
