Voila un petit update de PKRA au Venezuela ->

Day 1

Day 1 @Movistar PKRA Kiteboarding World Tour 2007

With light winds prevailing, the first day of competition went under wind
delay, with the east-northeast breeze lasting up until the evening. PKRA
officials were hopeful at first, and although the wind started to pickup
around 4 pm, it was not up to competition standards, topping out at only 12
knots (4 bft.).

(avec le vent léger, le premier jour de competition a été retardée. Les officiels du PKRA étaient pleins d'espoir au début, et bien que le vent ait commencé à monter autour de 16 h ce n'était pas suffisant.)

Although Coche Island and El Yaque are known for excellent wind conditions
during the month of April, the opening day of the Movistar PKRA Kiteboarding
World Cup 2007 in Venezuela was an exception. The day was greeted by light
to gentle breezes averaging only between 5 to 10 knots (2-3 bft.) There were
scattered clouds very early in the morning that parted to clear sunny skies.

(Bien que l'île de Coche et EL Yaque soient connus pour l'excellent vent pendant le mois d'avril, ce jour d'ouverture est une exception. Le jour a été salué par la lumière pour adoucir des brises faisant la moyenne seulement entre 5 à 10 noeuds (bft 2 ou 3.) là étaient les nuages dispersés très tôt le matin qui a séparé aux cieux ensoleillés clairs)

A few competitors took the opportunity to play pool (billiards) and swim in
the Coche Paradise Hotels exotic new swimming pool. Other riders took
time to surf the Internet, checked e-mail and posted blogs, while the rest
hung out, prepared their gear and relaxed at the beach.

(Quelques compétiteurs en ont profités pour jouer au billard, barboter dans la piscine. d'autres ont surfer sur le web ou actualisés leur blog. Et d'autres encore vérifier leur matos et relaxation sur la plage)

As the day drew to a close and the wind picked up slightly, there were a few
riders who took the opportunity to inflate their largest kites for a free
ride session. Among those that went on the water were Clarissa Hempel
(Cabrinha, Brazil) and Rocky Chatwell (Airrush, US.) Unfortunately, the
wind continued to be below competition minimum standards and the PKRA
officials decided to call it a day with tomorrows skipper meeting at
12:00 pm and first possible start at 1:00 pm.

(Il y avait quelques riders qui ont saisi l'occasion de gonfler leurs plus grands kites pour une session libre . Parmi ceux qui sont allés sur l'eau étaient Clarissa Hempel (Cabrinha, Brésil) et Chatwell rocheux (Airrush, USA.) malheureusement, le vent à continué d'être au-dessous des normes minimum)
