KPWT Tarifa 2009 - Day 2Posted by Kitemovement in Boards, Competition, tags: KPWT, TarifaWelcome to day two on the KPWT Movistar Kite Pro Tarifa 2009. After a chilled party and dinner held at Pacha Mama last night all riders appreciated the 10h30 skippers meeting this morning.
The wind was not at competition requirements this morning so the next skippers meeting was held after lunch at 13h30. Yesterday saw four exciting course races and results for the day are posted below. The first rounds of the men’s single elimination started off competition day 2. The heats began at 14h15 and continued up until 16h00 with the first round for men completed. At 16h30 the HAVAIANAS board off competition was held! The huge flip-flops/ boards were dragged into the water and attempts were made to pull off the best maneuver possible.
It was quite the spectacle and brought thousands down to the beach.
For the women, Kari Schibevaag (NOR, OZONE), Gisela Pulido (SPA, MOVISTAR), Fabienne D’Ortoli(FRA, NAISH) and Ania Grezlinska (POL, NORTH) took part in this unique event. Gisela handled the heavy board as best she could and managed to take the final heat and the 600euro prize money on offer! The wind had dropped off by 18h00 and an attempt was made to run the women’s first elimination rounds. Unfortunately there was not enough wind and after heat one the day was called off. What a fun and unique day on the KPWT Movistar Kite Pro Tarifa 2009!

KPWT Movistar Kite Pro Tarifa 2009 - Day 1Posted by Kitemovement in General, tags: KPWT, TarifaKPWT Movistar Kite Pro Tarifa 2009 The first day of the KPWT Movistar Kite Pro Tarifa started today with a skippers meeting at 09h00. A further skippers meeting was held at 14h30 and the race director instructed all riders to prepare for the course racing discipline. The wind increased up to 12 knots and all riders launched their kites in anticipation for the first race of the event.
Race one saw over 45 riders take to the water. Each race included one lap around the strategically placed buoys. Abel Lago (SPA, RRD) started well and worked the conditions perfectly to push ahead of the pack and looked comfortable to win. Bruno Sroka (FRA, CABRINHA) thought otherwise and took the right channel at the perfect time flying past him in the home straight. Great start to the day setting the tone for the races to follow. He went on placed first in 3 of the 4 races for the day. Fabienne D’ortoli (FRA, NAISH) placed well in all four races and is sitting nicely to further herself within this discipline. Kari Schibevaag (NOR, OZONE) pushed hard in the races and looks determined for the overall title within the next few days, so watch out for the women! After race four the wind dropped off and the day ended due to light winds. For further information |
