Kite Sunset

About us

Welcome to SUKS, Southampton Uni's Kitesurfing Society.

We are one of the biggest Uni kite societies in the country, with over 60 active members. This year, we have massive university backing, so things are looking set to do one thing.... get bigger!

We do 3 big UK trips each year and a MASSIVE Easter abroad trip. As well as countless trips to local beaches, (if it's windy, we'll be at the beach). So get involved, whether you're pro or a first timer, and show us your mad skills!

SUKS trip to Weymouth! -05-12-2011

Alright so for those of you that missed it, the club just got back from a sick time in Weymouth! Incredible SUKS timing, as in, we actually ran on time for once might we add. Yeh. Thats right. Amazing progression from all the beginners, who spent like 5 hours in the water each day! Plus it was incredible weather, sunny and with all the wind in the world. Spotted our beginner sec steezing out some butterslides too. All around, a pretty sweet weekend. Slightly worrying levels of club sexytime, we will not speak of it here. 

Head over to the gallery to see if you got snapped by resident arty-farty pro-tographers keeno and parks (parker's still to give us all the shots, so keep checking in!)

Much love! xx



SKA SLIDER JAM! -16-11-2011

 We just got back from the second ever SKA student slider jam, what a sweet weekend! Saturday was no-wind, so we hit the refurbished flatbar behind a jet ski and winched a bit on the beach... before having a huge meal and party at the local pub, which inevitably led to everybody stripping off and revisiting the beach. MANY NAKEDS. Sunday the wind was back, and we had a pretty insane jam-format thing go down in massively gusty winds, before heading in for the prizegiving....

Huge props to our very own Rosanna Jury for winning the female catagory and landing herself a free beachbreaklive festival ticket and some Nalu beads! Yewwwww! 

Also props to honorary SUK'ER and resident pro Ali B who won the mens, landing himself a second longboard (i think he's going to put footstraps on them and ride them around like skiis)... and to ex-suk'er Charlie Davies who won best bail for absolutely destroying herself off the kicker, coming to the pub in a sling and ARM WRESTLING people. Lass.

Photo's and a full write up will be going up soon, courtesy of media partners Expix, we'll email you guys the link when it goes up! Also, thanks to Simone for sending a slab of chocolate down to our riders, you are amazing! 

 



SUKS hit Devon, first trip of the year! -16-11-2011


WHAT A TRIP!!! Many of the old boys have heralded it the best ever and I have to agree with them. Big thanks to Jorge and Bowker (No pressure for the next trip!) and the rest of the committee (especially me, because Saturday night was such a great success). Also well done the all the club freshers, everyone without exception got in the water (except mincing dress Mike). You also excelled yourselves with high amounts of club incest, which can only be encouraged. I will name no names. The greatest weekend success story was definitely me getting up and riding properly, so you can all buy me a beer at the next social to say well done. Also there was an epic KFC fresher challenge completed on the journey home, where over £40 of chicken was consumed. Everyone who didn’t come, you missed out on an absolute belter! - Big Al

It was absolutely awesome to see so many people getting involved, there were SO many people on the water on both days. Well done to all the beginners who came down, apparently you guys were naturals, you'l be busting out kiteloop handlepasses before you know it! Who knew kitesurfers were such good poledancers either, especially one of our Presidents (hint; not me) so keep an eye on the facebook page for the video...... - Sam
