Entrants in the British Kitesurfing Association competition were judged on their wave riding ability in the testing winds and powerful swell.
Association chairman Richard Gowers said: "We have certainly had some frustrating conditions this season, this week in particular has been one extreme to the next. Yet despite that, the sun was out, kites were all over the beach and the standard of the competitors still continues to rise.
