Kitesurfers on lay day in PKRA Tarifa Kite Pro
Saturday, 05 July 2008 15:37

The Telefonica Movistar Kite Pro 2008 – the fifth round of the PKRA 2008 World Tour is on its third day. This time, the wind was a no-show which gave the competitors and everyone at the beach a little time for relaxation after yesterday’s extreme kiteboarding actions.

The sun was up but the wind decided to call it a calm day as the sea was like a mirror. The gentle breeze picked up in the afternoon but was not enough to hold a competition. Head Judge Sami Gali went out on his course racing equipment while the other women competitors were seen basking under the sun for some tan. A few others managed to take the opportunity to rest and sleep while the others took the time to browse the Internet or update their respective websites.

Although a lot of the riders appreciate a good day’s rest, many are still hoping for the weather to turn around so they could go out and do what they do best – extreme kiteboarding. Yesterday, ExtremeElements.tv managed to get a short interview from world champion Aaron Hadlow.
