The Big Air League is based on jump height, the most accessible and measurable metric using widely available devices. There are five leagues, catering to all jump height levels:
0–4m League Division
4–7m League Division
7–10m League Division
10–15m League Division
15–20m League Division
20m+ League Division
While jump height remains at the heart of the Big Air League, we recognise that kitesurfing is about more than just going higher. To make the league even more inclusive and celebrate different riding styles, we’ve introduced additional competition categories alongside the main league standings.
These categories reward riders for their commitment, time on the water, and passion for the sport, giving everyone more opportunities to compete and be recognised throughout the season.
Current additional categories include:
Total Jump Height – Rewarding riders who consistently send it, accumulating the greatest combined jump height over the competition period.
Total Distance Kitesurfed – Celebrating the riders who cover the most ground, recognising endurance, dedication, and time spent enjoying the sport we all love.
Whether you're chasing personal bests, aiming for the top of your league, or simply maximising every windy day, there's more than one way to make your mark in the Big Air League.
Automatic League Placement
Riders are automatically registered into the correct league based on their maximum jump height at the time of registration, then progressing up the league tables as they record higher and higher jumps. For example, if you start the quarterly competition in the 5–10m league but achieve a 12m jump, you will remain in the 5–10m league for the remainder of the current quarter. However, you’ll be promoted to the 10–15m league for the next competition period. There are no demotions, as it's all about continual progression.
Each league features a live leaderboard, updated regularly to register competitors’ session jump heights. This dynamic system ensures every rider has the chance to progress, improve, and compete at a level that matches their abilities.
