An award ceremony was held late this afternoon at the event site where numerous amounts of spectators stood to watch as Andy Yates (Slingshot, AUD) stood proudly on top of the podium grinning from ear to ear as he received recognition as the men’s Mondial du Vent 2010 single elimination Champion, as well as his first PKRA title. Yates has proved that he is going to be a tough competitor throughout the 2010 PKRA tour season. In a recent conversation with one of the official PKRA judges, he states that Yates competes with world-class style, amazing execution and difficulty. Dutch competitor Youri Zoon (Slingshot, NED) ranked second in this competition followed by Spanish rider Alex Pastor (Airush, ESP) who took third.
I just read the full report
They didnt have enough wind to run the doubles so they had a SUP race to entertain the spectators -
Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED) was on top of his game today paddling his way across the finish line first in the SUP competition followed by one of the PKRA judges, Antoine Jaubert who nestled his way close behind Langeree. Tijn Van Esch (Advance, NED) finished in the third position.
This got written up before they spoke about Andy's win
WTF has SUP got to do with Kiting -
I cant believe the PKRA are profiling it -
Kiting is Kiting - why do they keep jamming SUP down everyones throat -
Next we'll see them award a world champion for the combined event of SUP and kiting
How fricken Gay would that be -
The PKRA should change its name to PKRGAY
