Brandon Scheid is the best kiteboarder of the prestigious 2012 Triple-S Invitational, after claiming victory in the Slider, Combined and Winch categories in Cape Hatteras, USA.The Real Watersports compound was the perfect stage for the celebration of spectacular kiteboarding performances, with breathtaking sunsets, amazing music, great vibes and great sliders. The setup? An epic flatwater utopia, Reak's industry-leading obstacle park, and Cape Hatteras’ head-high surf. Unlike any other kiteboarding event on the planet, Triple-S’ unique format encourages competitors to take risks, trying new tricks and riding styles, and not worrying about playing it safe like at a conventional contest. Amidst a sea of spectators, the 33 Triple-S competitors took to the stage and the energy level went through the roof. On the Men's front, Brandon Scheid took four podiums, including first in Sliders and second in Slicks. Eric Rienstra topped the podium four times as well, including Best Session and third in Sliders. Billy Parker graced the podium three times, including second in Sliders. And with his powerful, technical, go-bigger-than-anyone flatwater riding, Alex Pastor won the Slicks category. On the Surf side, Mark Miedama won for the second year straight. |
