Aaron Hadlow lost the world title today, to first - time winner Kevin Langeree! Check out extreme elements for all the info, and let's hope the video's up soon so we can all see how it went down!
Today would go down in kiteboarding history as the day the PKRA World Championship crown is passed on to two of the most promising kiteboarders in the world. Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED), after many years of battle, finally was crowned the PKRA World Champion in an unprecedented event that saw many upsets and triumphs. Bruna Kajiya (Flexifoil, BRA) would also end the 2009 season with a bang, capturing the women’s World Championship title from Spain’s Gisela Pulido (Airush) after years of reigning the women’s division.
The triumphant second day of the Teri Kite Pro 2009 started right on time with a 12:30 start, but the day would prove different from yesterday. Clear blue skies dominated the scene and was warmer than yesterday’s temperature. It was an extremely action-packed day even though the wind never picked up strength compared to the other day.
At exactly 10:00 am, there was a start for the long distance race which was won by Torrin Bright (Ozone, New Zealand) while the ladies’ division was won by Angela Peral (North, Spain).
The day wrapped up at 5:30 pm at the beach. Although the official prize awarding is not until Saturday or Sunday, today’s game results already decided the overall Tour winners:
Men:
Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED) - World Champion
Youri Zoon (Slingshot, NED) - 2nd overall
Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, UK) – 3rd overall
Women:
Bruna Kajiya – (Flexifoil, BRA) - World Champion
Joanna Litwin – (Nobile, POL) - 2nd overall
Karolina Winkowska – 3rd overall
