I have just returned from competing in the PKRA world tour in Fuerteventura. What an event!

There were a total of 27 male and 8 female riders competing so we didn’t have to have any qualifying heats. My first heat in the single eliminations was 5B against the Vice Champion Youri Zoon. The wind was gusting 45 plus, cross off and very gusty.
I put up a good fight landing s bend pass, blind judge, back to blind air pass and huge kiteloop but lost my heat as Youri was as ever on fire.

After a breathtaking single’s Kevin Langeree won, Youri 2nd and Aaron 3rd North team rider Reno Romeu came a well deserved 4th. Day 3 was the double eliminations. I was in heat 24A against Michele Ratti Morales (Slingshot). After a tense 7 minute heat of giving my all, it was announced that I had advanced through to the next round.

Heat 27A I was up against North team rider Cesar Portas. I did lose to Cesar which meant I was out of the competition but had come a respectable 13th overall. Aaron managed to work his way back up showing us all how it’s done to win the doubles and overall.
Congrats to him!

Overall I had an amazing time and it was a truly mindblowing experience to kite with the top riders in the World and giving me an insight on the level I need to achieve.
