Aaron Hadlow:
On the final day of the event they held a KiteLoop contest, unfortunately it was not super windy for the huge MegaLoops and unhooking but it was enough to get the odd biggie on a 9m.
As it was only windy for 9m it was very 50-50 if the kite would catch you on the way down, I had some horrific drop outs and wipe outs and also saw some INSANE crashes.
Allow it wasn’t perfect conditions it did make for a good show and the spectators loved it.
I managed to hit a big gust in the finals, I went for the loop and then got spun into a front spin on the way down, thats the one that won it for me.
Kiteloop Contest Results:
Men:
1st – Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, GBR)
2nd - Tom Court (North, GBR)
3rd - Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED)
4th - Max Blom
Women:
1st - Laura Fernandez (ESP)
2nd - Susi Mai (Cabrinha, GER)
3rd - Jalou Langeree (Naish, NED)
4th – Karolina Winkowska (Naish, POL)
Now I am in Germany after a harsh journey, I got delayed out of Madrid and never got my board bag. Luckily my mate Lewis was picking me up and driving us here to St. Peter Ording. I got to stop at home on the on the way and pick up some other kit so I should be alright for the event.
Today was the trials so the singles will be up tomorrow if there is wind.
