THE biggest kiteboard race in the state is returning to North Fremantle this December.
The eighth Lighthouse to Leighton is already attracting competitors from all over the world as they look to break the record set by last year’s winner, Frenchman Nico Parlier.
Competitors race 19km from Rottnest Island to Leighton Beach, a feat Parlier achieved in a quick 19 minutes and three seconds, more than three minutes faster than the previous record set by Englishman Olly Bridge.
