In final we find Boris JUDIN from Serbia (Airush/Nobile) and Erik VOLPE (Challenger sail), from Italy, who start with a slim chance that he crashes, as Judin send back mobe and switch blind judge that he landed, quite good tricks according to the wind conditions we have. Both did well but finally JUDIN won. Big surprise came from Marvin St Requier (Takoon), as he lost his first heat. Course racing was also on the program along Bray Dunes’RIERE (North) for women. Antoine AURIOL (Kite Loose) actually was first but crashed his kite at the arrival and took a few minuting: Freestyle Juniors: 1st Boris JUDIN (Airush/Nobile) 2nd Erik VOLPE (Challenger Sail) 3rd Thomas PARIS (North) Course Racing Men 1st Erik VOLPE (Challenger Sail) 2nd Philippe MARTIN (Best Kiteboarding) 3rd Sbastien GARAT (RRD) Course Racing Women 1st nd Ainhoa GARCIA (Airush) 3rd Claudine PODVIN (Best Kiteboarding) KPWT Team
