PKRA season kickoff in France

April 8, 2009 11:54 AM, Author: Jonas |
The PKRA Kiteboarding season will start in its 2009 seasons this Saturday at Leucate / France druing the Mondial du Vent. From April 11-16, the world's best kiteboarders will meet there to get the first points for this year's ranking. We all wonder if it will be a close battle in the men's freestyle competition between five times world champion Aaron Hadlow (UK) and Kevin Langeree (Netherlands) again like last year. In the women's competition, we expect to see a strong Gisela Pulido (Spain) fighting against her closest rival from last year, Bruna Kajiya. If you want to learn more about Gisela, be sure to check out our recent interview we did with her.

Wind forecast for Leucate is looking good at the moment with winds between 15 and 20 knots for the weekend.
