On the weekend of 23 and 24 July the attention of nautical sports was focused on Meia Praia Beach in Lagos where the first edition of Water Kings was held. From noon until midnight, 62 enthusiastic participants were challenged during 12 hours non-stop, in an unprecedented format with mandatory multidisciplinary teams performing in kitesurf, sailing, windsurfing and stand up paddle. The changing weather conditions during the competition led to a strategic management of the sports chosen in each period and also stressed out the need of a real team work to endure all the hours on the water.
