You're reading: Get active with Z-Games at Kazantip music fest

Known as the craziest music event of the year, Kazantip actually started in 1990s as a sporting event.

For years, this beach pad by the Black Sea buzzed with happy youth dancing to world-famous DJs, but now they’ve added extreme sports competitions to their program before turning on the loudspeakers.

Wakeboarding, kite surfing, jet skis, frisbee, break dance, hip-hop, dirt jumping, skim boarding – the list just goes on and on.

If you are not a professional, training sessions will be conducted to help you catch your first wave or whiz on the dance floor.

Held in Popovka village, the festival has sparse accommodation so bring your own tent, rent one or hurry up to book a room in one of the nearby villages.

The music part of the festival starts in August.
