HIGH winds provided the perfect conditions for Rhyl's Pro Kitesurfing School Air Competition.

The competition - Emperor of the Air 2018 Rhyl - took place on December 8. Craig Smith was named Grand Champion; first place was Ellys Bloor (sponsored rider event) and first place, non sponsored rider event, was Jakub Gacka.

Steven said: "Rhyl is being regenerated, with a brand new promenade, new housing opportunities, better sea defences, the incredible Harbour Bridge and transformed play areas and walking/cycling routes which will all help us enjoy our vistas even more."
