It’s fast, exciting, competitive, and could soon be an Olympic sport. Kite course racing has gained in popularity since the 2005 introduction of the Cabrinha Race Series at the St. Francis Yacht Club in San Francisco. Internationally, in 2008 the Pro Kite Rider Association (PKRA) Tour expanded to a five-stop racing tour.
Competition is fierce and two riders have been dominating the Tour: France’s Charles Deleau and Mexico’s Sean Farley. They ended the 2008 season ranked first and second respectively. Photographer Axel Reese caught up with the pair to find out how they did it.
