France wrap up

Whats up,

I just came back from Leucate (South of france) where we had the 2nd tour stop of the PKRA.

The first competition  day we had some good winds, it was warm and sunny so basicly a perfect day.

The start of pretty early around 8 o clock in the morning by then the wind was still very light and most of the riders where wondering what the were doing at the beatch at that time of the day including me, the Erik the race director was sure there would be wind and it was!

Around 9 the put tome euro,s in the wind Machine and boom the 6 and 7m got out of the boardbags, Tramontana was here!

My first heat was against Benjamin Dupont a local rider, i had a pretty good heat and won and had to go against Sebastian Garat, I didnt rode that strong in the heat and in the end it was a close heat but luckly enough to pass to the next round, where i had to go up against Alex Pastor.

I definetly wanted to win that heat cause it would put me in the Final already, and i did. In the Final i was Facing Andy Yates.

We both had a good heat but after a super close 3-2 decison the gave it to Andy and i had to do it with a 2nd place. Not bad to .

The days after the wind just didn,t came in and we where getting more and more bored( next time order some Tramontana please) haha.

Also the forecast did,nt look to promising and Erik tried a couple of time,s to start but al the time the wind let us down.

So no Doubel elemination in France for this time.

Anyway still quit stoked on the 2nd place , now get some training done again for the next tourstop!

Cheers,

Youri
