Sponsored by numerous Island businesses, including Wightlink and Green Island, the Yaverland-based festival promises to be a memorable weekend.

The variety of sports on offer ensures there is something for everyone, whether you want to compete have a go yourself or simply marvel at the professionals.
Some of the Uk's top skaters will be on hand to give advice, and show their skills on the midi pipe and trailer park street course within the White Air Extreme Sports Freesports Park, while experts in the fields of kitesurfing, winddisc and paragliding will also be in attendance to advise and entertain. If sport is not your thing, you can try your hand at Graffiti Art clinics, led by top graffiti artists, or enjoy further attractions such as a retail village and a range of family entertainment. There are hundreds of competitors creating action on land and sea throughout the long weekend, with the event also backed by live music and two huge party nights.
