On a day that saw winds and emotions riding high, Cape Town's Big Bay played host to the latest edition of Red Bull King of the Air.

In front of 5,000 spectators, America's Jesse Richman clinched the win in a battle that saw the some world's best kiteboarders pull airs of up to 25 metres.

Cape Town's famed Table Mountain was the perfect backdrop for the sixteen invited kiteboarders and eight wildcards to face-off in a unique flag out competition format.
This flight from Britain's Sam Light was good enough for third place.

Nick Jacobsen impressed the crowd with this jump, but it was only enough for second place.

Jesse Richman of the USA stole the show with this massive jump, that sealed him first place, and the title of King of Air.

"Oh my god, that was a day. I never expected this and I'm so, so amazingly pumped. Red Bull King of the Air event has been the biggest kiteboarding event in the world since the very beginning - I competed in it as a little kid and it was the coolest thing in the world. I don't even know what to say. To come here and win this event is unbelievable!"

Jesse Richman clearly flying after his excellent victory.
