Not only will the new location add to the excitement of both local and international kiteboarding fans, but this year’s PKRA World Title for the Freestyle event is still up for grabs and is being contested by three of the most prolific and extreme kiteboard riders in the world.
British champion and current PKRA World Title holder Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil) remains on top of the overall ranking with 2,540 points and is enthusiastic more than ever to win his sixth straight world title. Hadlow won the men’s Freestyle events in France and Fuerteventura but came in third place in Germany after loosing to two Dutch riders, Youri Zoon (Slingshot) and Kevin Langeree (Naish) in the finals.
Langeree won the German Tour stop and trails Hadlow in the world rankings with 2,454 points overall. The Dutch champion is focused more than ever in winning his first ever World Title. Both Langeree or Zoon needs to win the New Caledonia event in order to capture the PKRA World Title. There are no other options.
The mixture of high intensity kiteboarding action, the eagerness of the three riders to capture the World Title and the excitement of the new Tour stop will surely make kiteboarding history as only the Professional Kiteboard Riders Association can delivery.
