The Southern Hemisphere’s #1 kiteboarding race, the Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton, returns for the 10th consecutive year on 7 December. This year, a whopping 150 competitors are locked in and you’re invited to watch them race to shore from Rottnest Island. The race is a ‘must-do’ for serious kiters who take on the 19km open ocean course from Rottnest Island to Leighton Beach, Fremantle.

Guillaume Perimony takes us on a tour through the cosmopolitan skate life of the resurgent French capital in his short film Greetings from Paris.
