After being ind France for one week I’m sitting in the car on my way home. In the moment I’m passing Genua in Italie.

The contest was crazy… With very strong and gusty winds, strong rain, 8 degrees and some other things which made kiteing pretty hard.

The single was not to succesfull for me because I struggled a bit with the conditions. I was over on my 7 and got kicked out in the second round by Pete Tyscevich who was riding a 5.5.

In the doubleelemination the wind was still strong with up to 50 knots. I have been able to manage everthing a bit better in my heats and so I could win for example against the number 3 seeded Mike Blomwall. After some good heats I was up against Tom Hebert and I pulled some hard stuff like a double s-bend pass. Not to easy with a 7 totally over. I don’t know why exactly but I lost this heat and got 9th. But I coul’d see some nice tricks from Tom as well.

So i got a 9th place… Not to good but still ok.

Aaron won the competition Youri Zoon got 2nd and Kevin 3rd.

I have got a few pics as well. I’ll upload them in the gallery.
