PKRA INAUGURAL EVENT IN FEHMARN, GERMANY- STARTS OFF WITH SOLID NUMBERS IN BLUSTERY COLD WINDS!
(August 27, 2003-Fehmarn, Germany)- Forty men and 15 International women turned up on the rural coast on the island of Fehmarn in Germany today to compete in the first German event held on the PKRA World Tour, the Kite FA Open.
