Morgen gaat het los op Coche. We hebben al aardig wat gezeur gehoord over de VKWC ofwel de PKRA's in een nieuw jasje. Zowel van riders als juryleden. In totaal zijn er 49 riders uit 18 landen komen opdagen. Windvoorspellingen op de vlakwater spot met aflandige wind zien er goed uit.

Liam Whaley heeft gewonnen in Dakhla en staat dus op nr1. Inmiddels land Liam Whaley ook Tacks double half cab mobe dus dat voordeel is Tack kwijt. We zijn benieuwd of Tack of misschien Youri Zoon hem kunnen veslaan op Coche. Ook Kevin Langeree is neergestreken in Coche om de BigAir competitie op 11 en 12 juni mee te doen; hij gaat momenteel aan de leiding in deze discipline.

Isla de Coche, Venezuela (Monday, June 8, 2015) - The best riders in the world have all gathered in Isla de Coche for the registration of the second stop of the Virgin Kitesurf World Championships (VKWC). 49 participants from 18 countries are ready to battle and show their best tricks in both freestyle and big air disciplines.

20 to 25 knots is forecast for the next few days and it is looking very promising for the rest of the week.

" We usually have great conditions here and the forecast seems to be pretty good. I think the event is going to be excellent and I am very happy to welcome the World Tour again. I am a kiteboarder and I do this for the love of the sport. Everybody loves kiteboarding here and I think we can expect a large audience to support the competition " Ricardo Farr, local organizer.

Great freestyle action is expected. Current number one Liam Whaley (ES) will try to claim his first back-to-back victory after having won the first stop in Dakhla, Morocco. He will fight against more experienced riders such as reigning world champion Christophe Tack (BE), five-time world champion Aaron Hadlow (GB) and also two-time world champion Youri Zoon (NL).

As for the ladies, this second event of 2015 VKWC season will again see nine-time world champion Gisela Pulido (ES), current freestyle world champion Karolina Winkowska (PL) and 2009 world champion Bruna Kajiya (BR) doing their utmost to beat off the competition.

Day 3:

Isla de Coche, Venezuela (Thursday, June 11, 2015) - The second stop of the Virgin Kitesurf World Championships (VKWC) 2015 saw another day of good conditions with 15 to 22 knots of wind and crowds of spectators for the third day of competition. Male top seeds put on display great action from round 2 to the beginning of round 4 until it was called off due to insufficient wind.

Local wildcard Oscar Hurtado put on a great show in front of his Venezuelan fans cheering for him. Hurtado delivered a wide variety of tricks but could not match Marc Jacobs (NZ) power who then took down Sergei Borisov (RU) in a close heat. Tomorrow Jacobs will be up against Liam Whaley (ES).

Marc Jacobs: "It went pretty well for me, I mean I’m not good in light winds. I’m more of a strong wind power rider. I’m not kiting as good as I normally do but I’m still happy that I’m in and I’m riding better every heat so I’m kind of getting back into it. Liam is riding super well, hopefully we’ll have some good wind to be full on and at least make the heat interesting and not so easy for him. It’s a good challenge."

Suprising news of the day was reigning world champion Christophe Tack (BE) loosing against Robinson Hilario (DO)in an extremely close heat. Unfortunately for Tack he lost half of his best score after preventing Hilario from entering the area of competition when he had right of way. Hilario then faced current leader Liam Whaley with who's impressive repertoire of powerful manoeuvres he could not keep up with.

Liam Whaley: "Today was pretty good until the wind went down. Everyone was riding really good actually and I had one of the best heats of my life. The wind was pretty light but everything worked out and I had my three doubles - a Back Side 317, a 317 and a KGB 5. I advanced the next round so I’m up against Marc. Tomorrow it should be good so hopefully I can beat him too!"

Two of the newcomers - David Tonijuan Colomer (ES) and Carlos Mario (BR) - showcased technical tricks in their respective heats. The young Brazilian once again landed a number of double handle passes sending him straight to quarterfinals where he will meet Tonijuan.

David Tonijuan Colomer: "Next heat is going to be a hard one against Carlos Mario. I will try to do my best, he has a huge level but we’ll see."

Both former world champions Alex Pastor (ES) and Youri Zoon (NL) rode extremely well dispatching Michael Schitzhofer (AT) and Ariel Corniel (DO) respectively. Then they met in the first heat of round 4 which got cancelled and therefore they will meet again tomorrow.

Youri Zoon: "Hopefully we’ll get good conditions so we can show what we’re made of and see who is going to win. Alex is getting back from the injury he had a year ago. He’s improving a lot, he’s been training hard and it’s definitely going to be a tough heat. It’s back to the old times again when I used to compete with him in a lot of finals, it’s going to be a good one."

Competitors meeting tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. (GMT -4:30) with a first possible start at 11 a.m.

Nou, niemand vernoemd Pastor, maar ik ben benieuwd wat die kan doen nu hij terug is na zijn blessure. Ik neem aan dat hij erop gebrand is goed te presteren na zijn wereldtitel in 2013 en blessureleed in 2014.

Everybody was a beginner once, but there's nothing wrong with ambition.

The Virgin Kitesurf World Championships tour stop in Venezuela saw great action today as the wind started to pick up in the afternoon. The competition started with men and women freestyle round 1.

In the men’s heat of today the young Brazilian Carlos Mario beat current world champion Christophe Tack as well as Jerrie Van De Kop. Mario and Tack were raising the bar with every trick performed landing a host of double handle passes scoring over 9 points. Mario finally managed to claim victory with an impressive 46.2 points - the highest score ever recorded - sending him straight to round 3. Jerrie Van De Kop could not match his opponents but still pulled off great powered tricks.

The surprise of the day was Hannah Whiteley beating nine-time world champion Gisela Pulido who could not land her usual tricks and missed too many points to take the lead. Hannah Whiteley was on form and secured the heat delivering a variety of powerful manoeuvres. Also strong performances were showcased by Karolina Winkowska and Paula Novotna in their respective heats - both competitors will demonstrate their skills again in round 3.

We krijgen dus hoogstwaarschijnlijk al in ronde 3 een kleine finale met Tack en Whaley... Zoals Tack zelf al vermeldde een ongelukkig toeval in het verloop van de heats.

Is er in de nieuwe dingle elimination ook een double systeem? Of Verliest een van beide hier sowieso/mogelijkerwijs al enorm veel punten in de gehele World Tour?

Tack of Whaley zal veel punten verliezen, geen doubles in dit systeem

RobbyNitroz 11 June / 2015 / 18:49

Aj inderdaad; dus die heat is waarschijnlijk heel veel punten waard!

Heats 15/16 & 23/24 hebben de slechtste loting getroffen zo te zien, Tack, Whaley en Jacobs bij elkaar. Ronde 4 heat 25 zou Pastor/Zoon worden waarschijnlijk.

Ik lees het nu pas: Tack eruit tegen Hilario, voornamelijk door de penalty owv de voorrangsregels: Jammerrrrr...

En nu dus Jacobs tegen Whaley, en dan Hadlow. Ik zal er maar geen geheim van maken: ik erken zijn ongelooflijk talent, maar ik heb het niet zo voor Whaley.

Er zijn ook 6 gasten die dicht bij elkaar zitten, Jacobs, Tack, Hadlow, Zoon, Pastor en Whaley. Whaley is wil zijn eerste wereldtitel binnenhalen natuurlijk, Pastor en Jacobs zijn weer terug na blessures, net als Youri eigenlijk die vorig jaar nog niet vol meedraaide.

Hopelijk krijgen we nog een stuk of 6-7 stops want beloofd een hele spannende strijd te worden.

Met de dingle is het ook heel erg belangrijk om te kijken wat je concurrentie doet in de eerste ronde, zeker als je in de laatste 2 rondes vaart kan je voordeel behalen door 2de te worden in de eerste ronde. Als Tack 1ste was geworden in zijn heat had hij theoretisch zo door kunnen stomen tot de 5de ronde.
