PKRA Charity Kitesurf Board Auction

The PKRA Board, in association with Turbulence, Flexifoil and Surfers Against Sewage presents:

The opportunity to win a unique piece of kitesurf artwork.

Johara Sykes-Davies, Turbulence and Flexifoil pro rider on the PKRA world tour, has been travelling the world with an extra board for the year.

The idea started with Charlie from Flexifoil, who donated a plain white Krunk kiteboard shaped by Cu in Fuerteventura, from his garage at home.

After we gave the board a little clean we thought we would try and create a unique piece of artwork. We thought it would be perfect raise much needed funds to help Surfers Against Sewage tackle their campaign for clean, safe recreational water, free from sewage effluents, toxic chemicals, nuclear waste and marine litter. So the board has done over 10000 miles this year, gathering over 60 signatures from riders, names and faces on the world tour on one side of the board. The other side of the board is plastered in all the manufacturers’ and sponsors’ stickers.

The board finally returned to North Wales and was handed over to local hero and woodwork master, Derek Link. Derek has created a large wooden frame with polycarbonate front and back, so it can be viewed from both sides. The board is supported diagonally and is held in by custom-made stainless steel brackets. This piece will sit either in its own self supporting stand or can be hung a number of ways.

The finished piece would be a superb talking point in any office, home, shop or club and comes with a presentation album detailing the board’s journey, showing photos of it being signed in the PKRA world tour spots.

The PKRA tour covers some of the worlds’ best kiting locations and runs throughout the year. The tour includes the best of the best of freestyle kitesurfing. Flexifoil rider Aaron Hadlow has dominated the PKRA world tour, winning five consecutive world titles.

For your chance to check out more shots of the board and get bidding you can find the board on the Turbulence EBay store http://stores.ebay.co.uk/TurbulenceExtremeSports or for the direct link go to:

PKRA 2008 - Chile Final Day

Wave Competition Awards Ceremony

Today started out nice and sunny but with no wind. The temperature in the morning was at 12 degrees Celsius while wind speed was 4-5 knots with bright and clear sunny skies. However, cloud covers moved in the afternoon and still without sign of any wind coming. Mauricio Toscano - the head of the Professional Kiteboard Riders Association decided to go out kiting and had to be rescued at sea because there wasn’t enough wind to land on the beach.

After lunch, the Movistar Kiteboard World Cup 2008 in Matanzas, Chile concludes with an awards ceremony at the beach for the Wave Competition. Under an overcast sky, the organizers prepared for the day’s event which culminated in the awarding of trophies and cash prices for the winners which started at 3:00 in the afternoon and finished at about 4:00 pm. The original plan was to hold an expression session before the awarding ceremony but there wasn’t enough wind to do so. After the ceremony, the organizers and competitors were interviewed by the local media before everyone left the event site.

Wave Competition Results:

1st Place - Guilly Brandao (Mormaii, BRA)
2nd Place - Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED)
3rd Place - Drew Beavis (North, AUS)

Congratulations to Guilly Brandao for winning the Wave Event for 2 straight years and to all the other winners and participants of the Wave Competition. See you all next year for another exciting Tour of the PKRA 2009 season.

PKRA 2008 - Chile Day 6

No Wind Day

The sixth day of the Movistar Kiteboard World Cup 2008 started with less fog than the past two days. Partly cloudy skies dominated the first half of the day which quickly turned into overcast skies by 11:00 am onwards. The wind was light in the morning, at 4 to 5 knots average but showed signs of picking up which it did, peaking at 20 to 25 knots during the afternoon. Since the people at the beach were waiting for the swell to come back, there wasn’t any competition for today.

There were several riders such as Tom Court (North, GBR), Tom Hebert (Airush, New Caledonia), Andy Yates (Slingshot, AUS) and Etienne Lhote (Fone, FRA) who spent a few hours building a dam on the beach from a river that flows out onto the ocean. On the other hand, some of the riders just chilled the day out watching movies on their laptops or surfed the Internet.

There were a few adventurous souls who also went kiting at a spot upwind from the event site, located at a river mouth, including Sky Solbach (North, USA), Drew Beavis (North, USA), the Brazilian riders including Guilly Brandao (Mormaii) and PKRA staffs Mauricio Toscano and Antoine Jaubert.

The event site in Matanzas, Chile is approximately 140 km from the nation’s capital of Santiago. It is a very small village where a lot of extreme water sports are practiced due to its reliable wind conditions, strong waves and remoteness. This time of the year, the average swell reaches 3-meters while the average wind speed is 11 to 15 knots (4 bft.), cross or cross-onshore. As these past days have demonstrated, the average 15 knots breeze is very typical but doesn’t have enough power to sustain the kites for some heart-pumping kiteboarding action.

Tomorrow’s weather forecast tells the same story with light wind and no swells so it is still a waiting game at the competition site.

PKRA 2008 - Chile Day 5

Awards Ceremony

The fifth day of the Movistar Kiteboard World Cup 2008 was off to a quiet day. The morning started out foggy and cold with air temperature at 13° Celsius. Wind speed was a mere 4-5 knots in the morning and with practically no waves, most of the people on the event site took the time to surf the Internet using the only two Internet points in Matanzas – one being on EETV’s cabin and the other which was located over at the PKRA tour manager’s cabin but most people were over at EETV’s.

There were practically no activities at the competition area this morning. However, by 1:00 pm the PKRA staff and all of the competitors met at the beach for lunch along with other people who were already at the event site enjoying the sunny conditions as the fog finally dissipated.

The crowd reconvened at the beach around 3:30 pm for the awards ceremony which finally started at 4:30 pm and finished around half an hour later.


Men’s Freestyle Result:

1st - Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, GBR)
2nd - Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED)
3rd - Sebastien Garat (RRD, FRA)

Women’s Freestyle Result:


1st - Gisela Pulido (Slingshot, ESP)
2nd - Bruna Kajiya (Best, BRA)
3rd - Susi Mai (Cabrinha, GER)

Overall Year Results:


Men:
1st - Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, GBR)
2nd - Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED)
3rd - Alvaro Onieva (Best, ESP)

Women:
1st - Gisela Pulido (Slingshot, ESP)
2nd - Bruna Kajiya (Best, BRA)
3rd - Karolina Winkowska (Naish, POL)

Susi Mai (Cabrinha, GER) came in 4th but was very, very close to the 3rd place for the overall year end ranking only 5 points behind Winkowska. Congratulations to all the winners for a job well done and we wish all the non-winners better luck next year for another round of the PKRA World Tour.

Tomorrow’s scheduled skippers meeting is set at 12:00 noon but with another gloomy weather forecast, it will most probably be another quiet day.

PKRA 2008 - Chile Day 4

A Day of Sporting Fun at the Mall

It was a particularly quiet day at the event site here in Matanzas, Chile as the weather forecast was not good for the day. There was practically no wind in the morning and fog blanketed the competition area. Overcast sky dominated the first half of the day but the cloud cover diminished briefly in the afternoon with the temperature peaking at 18 degrees Celsius.

With practically nothing much left to do for today, about 35 people from the event, athletes, crew and staff of the Professional Kiteboard Riders Association (PKRA) went to the city of Santiago for the day to visit one of the two malls or both. The party left Matanzas at 10:00 am for the two-and-a-half to three-hour drive and the plan was for everyone to meet at the Mall Sport which is a big mall dedicated to everything having to do with sports – running, cycling, surfing, climbing, snowboarding, skiing, skateboarding, bmx, and practically every sport that can fit in a mall.

The party was able to participate in several activities which made the shopping experience more enjoyable. There is also a standing wave machine inside the mall where people can surf on a pretty good size wave which is manufactured by FlowRider. Those who took part in the surfing and had a chance to try the FlowRider Sports wave machine were Kevin Langeree, Tom Court, Petr Tyuskevich, Maciek Kozerski, Drew Beavis, Sky Solbach, Jeremie Eloy, Andy Yates, Etienne Lhote, Sebastian Garat and Judges Antoine Jaubert & David Tyburski.

Another great attraction within the mall is a climbing wall that can challenge even the most experienced climbers. The Mall Sport also features an ice skating rink, skate park, an air trail, and a bmx park.

Tomorrow is the official awards ceremony on the beach for the Freestyle event which starts at 1:00 pm. It has been a challenging year and an exciting season-ender for five-time world champion Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, UK) who had to come from 4th to take the world championship crown for the fifth time in a row and also winning the last freestyle event.

The PKRA 2008 World Tour stop in Chile is sponsored by Movistar. To view all the high-definition videos and photos of the World Tour, visit www.extremeelements.tv and www.kiteworldtour.com.

PKRA 2008 - Chile Day 3

Freestyle Double Elimination Winners: Aaron Hadlow & Gisela Pulido

Another fantastic day concludes at the PKRA 2008 World Tour in Matanzas, Chile dubbed Movistar Kiteboard World Cup 2008. The same weather condition as yesterday prevailed today with cloudy to overcast skies in the morning but bright, sunny weather in the afternoon. The wind was also light during the first half of the day so the games started an hour and a half later than the original schedule of 10:30 a.m. Most of the competitors rigged their 9-meter kites during the start but went on to downgrade to their 7-meters later in the day.

In today’s notable heats, Maciek Kozerski (Naish, POL) defeated Michael Schitzhofer (JN, AUS) in tough heat #27a with more powered moves, higher tricks and faster moves. Tom Court (North, GBR) defeated Andy Yates (Slingshot, AUS) in the same heat with a fairly solid run, landing a regular and switch mobe, back to blind air pass, kiteloop handle pass, slim, shifty 3, and a blind judge with aerial handle pass. Yates on the other hand, landed a slim, 313 5, blind judge with aerial handle pass, back to blind air pass, front mobe and mobe to wrapped.

Alvaro Onieva (Best, ESP) took a decisive win over countryman Cesar Portas (North) in the 28th heat with more power and cleaner execution while Tom Hebert (Airush, New Caledonia) defeated Madison Van Heurck (Naish, USVI) in a super stylish heat, riding smoothly and more powered.

Alex Pastor (Naish, ESP) lived to fight another day and moved a step closer to challenging Mikael Blomvall for the 4th place overall by knocking out Shitzhofer in heat #29 with high technical difficulty score and better execution and Pastor in heat #30b. Russian Petr Tyuskevich then defeated Tom Court in the same heat with more varied tricks and a higher technical difficulty score.

The 30th heat saw Onieva pounced over Hebert, riding super-powered moves and clean tricks, going against Hebert’s big moves with grabs. With a much lower kite throughout this moves plus more variation, Onieva took the heat win and moved on the next round only to be defeated by countryman Pastor who is bent on getting the 4th place overall win. With a higher technical riding score, landing a regular and switch slim/back to blind air pass, mobe, front mobe, blind judge, and front mobe to blind, Pastor won the heat. However, his luck ran out in the 32nd heat when he landed hard on the water and hurt his ankle and headed back to the beach. Pastor landed only a blind judge, mobe, non-inverted slim while his opponent, Sebastien Garat (RRD, FRA) landed a blind judge, hasselhoff, 313, s-bend to blind, slim and kgb thereby taking the win. Pastor settled for 5th place in the overall PKRA rankings as a result of his loss.

In the 33rd heat, Garat won over Blomvall with a 3-2 decision to inch his way back to 3rd. The French kiteboarder landed a regular and switch slim, blind judge with aerial handle pass, mobe 5, front mobe, back to blind air pass, mobe to wrapped and front mobe while Blomvall landed a blind judge with aerial handle pass, slim, s-bend to blind, kgb and mobe. A higher technical score for Garat coupled with bigger moves gave him the win.

The 34th heat saw a fired up Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED) taking down Garat with relative ease with a regular and switch kgb, blind judge with aerial handle pass, front mobe, s-bend to blind, front mobe to blind, double s-bend to blind, front side 360, 313, mobe, non-inverted slim, mobe 7 and kiteloop handle pass winning via technical riding and bigger moves.

The men’s double saw two final heats between Langeree and single elimination round winner Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, GBR). The first final heat saw Langeree outscoring Hadlow with more variety and higher moves coupled with double pass moves, outweighing Hadlow’s slightly powered moves. The second final round went to Hadlow after a strong heat from both riders. The UK’s pride landed a regular and switch slim/mobe, blind judge with aerial handle pass, front mobe to blind, shifty 3, kiteloop handle pass and mobe 5 while Langeree landed a regular and switch kgb, blind judge with aerial handle pass, s-bend to blind air pass, double s-bend to blind, front mobe 5, front side 360, 313, non-inverted slim, mobe to wrapped and kiteloop handle pass. Hadlow performed with a lot more power and took home the crown.

The ladies division on the other hand, saw the PKRA Tour regulars dominating the podium, with Susi Mai (Cabrinha, GER) defeating Russian Alexandra Maslova (North) in heat #17 with a higher technical riding heat. Ironically, Mai was stopped in the 18th heat by top-ranked Bruna Kajiya (Best, BRA) in the 18th heat with a blind judge and back to blind air pass.

The ever unstoppable Gisela Pulido once again took home the glory in the doubles final, defeating Kajiya with a blind judge, front mobe, slim, 313 and s-bend to blind. Kajiya landed a s-bend to blind, front to blind, blind judge with aerial handle pass and had a few kite troubles after a crash. Pulido won with a higher technical difficulty score.

The freestyle awards ceremony will be held on Wednesday. Congratulations to Aaron Hadlow and Gisela Pulido – the 2008 PKRA World Champions!

ExtremeElements would also like to congratulate all the extreme kiteboarding athletes who have joined in this year’s Tour. They’ve encountered many challenges both in and out of the competition area but emerged victorious one way or the other. Many of them did their best and went all the way to overcome the obstacles. While others may have reaped the fruits of their hardships, there are also those who failed to do better in the rankings but are winners in their own rights. And then, there are those who stay hidden behind the cameras – the men and women who organizes the event and have made this year’s PKRA World Tour one for the record books. Congratulations for a job well done!

PKRA 2008 - Chile Day 2

Freestyle Singles Elimination

The PKRA 2008 World Tour in Matanzas, Chile wraps up a second successful day amidst the gloomy weather forecast for the week ahead. The sky was cloudy to overcast in the morning but turned to a bright, sunny afternoon during the freestyle elimination rounds. Since the wind forecast for the coming days is not looking good, the organizers are keeping up the momentum to finish the games as fast as possible while keeping the excitement level to extreme.

The wind in the morning was mostly light, averaging only 8 knots. The mandatory skippers meeting started at 10:00 am followed by the drawing for the single elimination ladder. Since the wind was still building momentum, race director Eric Troostheide decided to delay the start until conditions were at PKRA standards.

Finally around 11:30 am, the wind was acceptable enough to start the men’s heats but since the wind on the inside was still lighter, most of the competitors headed out on their 8 to 9-meter kites. By the time the second round of the men’s elimination started, most of the riders had switched down to their smaller kites.

The wind stayed strong for the rest of the event, wrapping up another extreme kiteboarding day at 4:00 pm with a small awarding ceremony on the beach for the single elimination winners.

Day 2 Highlights

It was a fast-paced, action-packed second day as the freestyle single eliminations were completed for both the men and the women’s division. Andy Yates (Slingshot, AUS) turned up the heat with an easy win over Manuel Bustos (Morph, ARG) in heat #2b but bowed down to PKRA’s World Number 3 Alvaro Onieva (Best, ESP) in the 9th heat. Cayque Aquino (Naish, BRA) defeated local rider Jose Tomas Valenzuela (North, CHI) in their 8th heat match-up with the Brazilian rider winning over with a higher technical difficulty score and more trick variation.

Sebastien Garat (RRD, France) overtook North’s Tom Court (GBR) in the 9th heat with a blind judge with aerial handle pass, front mobe, kgb, s-bend to blind air pass, regular and switch slim, shifty 360 and a kiteloop handle pass. Court managed to land a blind judge, back to blind air pass, mobe, slim and kiteloop but lost via technical difficulty. Garat then defeated Onieva in the 13th heat with more varied tricks (front mobe, kgb, mobe 5 and shifty 3) plus a regular and switch slim. Onieva landed a blind judge, mobe, front side with air pass and slim.

Tom Hebert is doing absolutely fantastic this year, currently ranking number 6 in the PKRA and had been in all the Tour stops this year. He defeated Austria’s Michael Schitzhofer (JN Kites) in heat #10 with a display of greater technical riding skills, coupled with a greater height advantage and switch variety. Ironically, he faced current Tour championship title challenger Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED) in the 13th heat which spelled bad news for Hebert. Langeree won over Hebert with a much higher technical difficulty rating and landed more varied tricks. The Dutch rider then moved in for a kill in the 15th heat, defeating Garat to advance inhe finals.

Despite Alex Pastor (Naish, ESP) crashing heavily and ruining his kite in heat #11b, he had enough moves already landed to take the win over Madison Van Heurck (Naish, USVI). Pastor won with better executed moves and a higher technical riding score.

Heat #14 was a fight for the fourth in the rankings between Mikael Blomvall (Nobile, SWE) and Pastor. Blomvall took the win with a 3-2 decision, claiming 4th overall for now. With a 3 regular and switch moves to 1, Blomvall landed more technical moves and variety while Pastor went for the bigger moves but butt-checked a lot on his landings, including a mobe 7 and a NIS-5.
An all-fired up Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, GBR) took an easy 15th heat win over Blomvall who had a shocker, crashing several moves but still managing to land a regular and switch slim, kgb, mobe, shifty 3 and a hasselhoff. The current world champion landed 3 regular and switch moves as well as a front mobe to blind. Blomvall settled for third place overall by defeating Garat for the last podium spot but might climb up the rankings even higher to 3rd place depending on how Onieva performs.

The final heat was again between Langeree and Hadlow. Claiming the world championship title, Hadlow landed a regular and switch slim, regular and switch back to blind air pass, blind judge with aerial handle pass, s-bend to blind air pass, non-inverted slim, mobe, shifty 3 and kiteloop handle pass, winning with more switch variety and a lower kite position on top of riding with more power. Langeree went bigger in his moves but had his kite a bit higher and lacked the switch variety, landing a regular and switch back to blind air pass, blind judge with aerial handle pass, front mobe, 313, front side 360, mobe, mobe 7, non-inverted slim, late pass mobe and kiteloop 5. Congratulations to Aaron Hadlow, 5-time PKRA World Champion!

The ladies had their equal share of extreme kiteboarding action. Elena Pitoulis (North, GRE) finally won a heat by defeating Alexandra Maslova (North, RUS) in heat #6 with a 3-2 decision but lost to Gisela Pulido (Slingshot, ESP) in the 7th heat.

Bruna Kajiya (Best, BRA), winning with air pass moves defeated Susi Mai (Cabrinha, GER) in heat #7a. Kajiya landed a blind judge, s-bend to blind and back to blind air pass winning with a much higher technical rating while Mai landed a raley to blind and a big front roll tail grab.

In the fight for third place overall, Mai emerged victorious with a raley to blind and front to blind over Pitoulis who managed a raley and back to toeside. Mai won via technical difficulty. The final heat also had Gisela waving to the crowd from the top podium position, beating Bruna Kajiya (Best, BRA) with higher technical riding level and cleaner landings. Pulido landed a slim, blind judge, front mobe, and 313 over Kajiya’s blind judge, s-bend to blind, raley to wrapped and a butt-checked back to blind air pass. Congratulations to Gisela Pulido for winning the 2008 PKRA World Championship Title!

Tomorrow will be the start of the doubles with a skippers meeting at 10:00 am with first possible start at 10:30 am.

PKRA 2008 - Chile Day 1

Back to Chile for the Last Tour stop

The PKRA 2008 World Tour is about to close another successful year with the last Tour stop happening in Matanzas, Chile but not without a grand finale. The 10th and last leg of the World Tour is currently being held in the remote but magnificent Playa de Mantanzas, a small village on the western coast of Chile. This far-flung community is a famous surfing and kiteboarding spot because of its big waves and strong winds. It will be the home of 24 extreme kiteboard freestylers from 17 different nationalities for 8 challenging days and will be joined in by another 24 wave riders who will be competing for the 2008 PKRA Wave World Championship.

The Freestyle competition dubbed Movistar Kiteboard World Cup 2008 is the culmination of this year’s Tour which will run until the 11th of October. A win here by Kevin Langeree would tie him to current Tour leader Aaron Hadlow for the World Championship crown so this last Tour stop will be an interesting event to follow.

Day 1 Highlights

Today’s events started at 11:00 am. Clear, bright skies dominated the first day while the air was cold at 15° Celsius but felt much colder because of the 17-20 knots side shore wind that blew particularly during the afternoon. The waves ranged from 2 to 3 meters with only the larger set of waves bringing in the 3-meter heights.

Kicking off the competition were the wave riders who practically ran the entire day’s event. The competition ladder for the wave riding is a dingle format where the first round winners will automatically advance to the third round while the 2nd and 3rd place finishers of the first round would compete in a second round elimination. The winner from the second round will then advance to the third round and compete with the 1st place winners of the first round. From there, the competition went man on man and the winner advanced to the next round while the loser will be out of the game.

In the first round elimination, Fernando Paraud (Best, PER), Sky Solbach (North, USA), Kevin Langeree (Naish, NED), Eduardo Carrad (No Stress, BRA), Jeremy Eloy (North, FRA), Guilly Brandao (Mormaii, BRA), Roberto Nascimiento (Best, BRA), and Etienne Lhote (Fone, FRA) all defeated their respective competitors and advanced to the third round. This same batch of winners also emerged victorious in the third round with the exception of Lhote who lost to Dreu Beavis (North, AUS).

In round number four, Paraud defeated Solbach while Langeree defeated Carrad in the 17th heat runs. Eloy lost to Brandao and Beavis was defeated by Nascimiento in the 18th heats.

Race Director Eric Troostheide decided to have a 10-minute break immediately following the semi-finals before running the finals.

It was a Langeree-Brandao fight in the finals while Paraud met Beavis for the third podium spot. Although the wave competition was completed, the results will not be released until Saturday for the awarding ceremony. The judging criterias were basically a point system with the best two waves during a heat which counted to their overall score. The competitor with the best wave selection and ability to ride it would score the highest.

All the heats of the day ran for about 12 minutes with a 2-minute transition time. The final two heats were 15-minute heats to allow the competitors extra time to show the judges and crowd why they were the best.

The day wrapped up at around 6:00 pm with dying winds and waves while tomorrow’s skippers meeting is set for 10:00 am with a first possible start half an hour later. If there is enough wind and waves, there might be another dingle round for the waves before the competition will switch over to the freestyle.
