Sotavento, Fuerteventura – July 22, 2009. The final day of the Fuerteventura PKRA Kiteboarding Grand Slam 2009 was a feast for the eyes, especially for the crowds watching on the beach. Sunny and warm weather prevailed the whole day with winds ranging between 20 and 25 knots - a perfect close to what has been a thrilling event.The kiteloop contest capped the end of the 5-day kiteboarding competition which started last Sunday. The elimination round was divided into eight heats where the top two winners advanced to round two. Winners of the 2nd round then met at the finals.
The crowd enjoyed watching some great loops as well as great crashes during the heats which started at around 2:00 pm with some very strong winds. Most of the competitors were on their 7 to 11-meter kites. The event wrapped up at around 4:30 pm after which an awards ceremony of the top four was held at the beach.
