PKRA Heist Final Results
Kiteboarding.be
he final day of the Euro Millions Kitesurfing World Cup 2006 was picture perfect with sunny skies, warmer temperatures and good wind. Competitors took to the water at 12:30 pm for the second discipline of the event, Big Air/Best Trick. Judges were looking for mostly “big air,” with 60% of a rider’s score appointed for height and hang time and 40% going towards technical difficulty. The riders had to first clear an outer buoy in the competition area and then perform one trick afterwards, either coming in or going out. It was their choice on which tack to perform their move but they had to clear the outer buoy each time before going for a subsequent jump. This caused some initial confusion and half way through the contest PKRA officials put up the checkered flag to abandon the current heat and review the rules. The tide was also coming in and there was quite a strong downwind current so the outer buoy was adjusted to assist the competitors.
