Bryan Lake and Bruno Sroka made things interesting in the mens division coming in 2nd and 3rd while LeRoy took home the first ever Kite Cross World Championship title.“It was a great week,” commented LeRoy. “We had light winds, but we got a lot of races in and there was quite a battle between Bryan and myself. I can’t complain, this is my first world championship win. It is incredible.” “It is a very good competition,” said Adrien, who is also the Professional Kiteboard Riders Association World Tour winner this year. “The wind was a little bit light but it is technical and I am happy.”
With the success of this event and the steady increase of kiteboarding races being held in all conditions, all over the world, the sport and the athletes are making a strong case for
