Petit Navire Kitesurfing Grand Prix: three heats raced:
While there was not quite as much wind as initially forecast for this final day of the 2006 Petit Navire Grand Prix, it did however allow the competitors to race three heats in some fabulous light. Three welcome heats after the scratched day on Sunday, which allowed Pierre Romain to win the Petit Navire Kitesurfing Grand Prix for the second consecutive year. While the rider from Carnac did not win the slightest heat today, he once again showed his ability to be consistent by finishing second in the third and fourth heats, then third in the very final race. Unfortunately for them the two Bretons from Finistère, Paolo Rista and Bruno Sroka, were unable to do anything, in spite of their fine performances today, to rival a kitesurfer, who was clearly pleased with his second win in the Petit Navire Kitesurfing Grand Prix: «Today, the wind was steadier and there were fewer wind holes than during the two races on Saturday. Last year, the big difference was down to my choice of board. For this edition, lots of competitors used similar equipment. It was almost as if it was a monotype event. At least, that really shows what you personally are capable of.»"
