Air Games Germany Finals 2018

Brazilians Mikaili Sol and Carlos Mario are the GKA Kiteboarding World Tour Germany 2018 champions! DELIVERANCE AT DAWN The first order of today’s dawn raid was to take care of the remaining women’s single elimination semi-final between Champion-elect Mikaili Sol and Pauline Valesa; Sol needing just this heat win to be assured of the Championship (on better count-backs than her closest rival Hannah Whiteley), come what may in the final and then the double elimination. It’s a challenge in itself to ride at your best at 6.30am, let alone when your first World Championship counts on it. Managing the mind of a 13 year-old can be a challenge on many levels, but the Swiss ex-snowkiting world champion and youth coach of excellence Fabio Ingrosso said that this morning Mika was already up and came to wake him; a change from the distracted talent he was trying to keep focused in yesterday’s stop / start heats with up and down winds. Mikaili, primed for success Credits due, the strong forecast held true for today and delivered nature’s payback after bizzarrely robbing us of what really should have been the highest wind event of the year at round one in Leucate. Inexplicably, …

Air Games Germany 2018 – Day Three

On the third day of competition in Fehmarn, the Women’s Single Elimination got underway. True seminal moments in sport are rare. At 13 years-of-age Mikaili Sol is on the verge of etching her name in the history books as one of only a handful of child prodigies who manage to fulfil their potential, enjoying immediate success with championship victory when they first burst onto the scene. On the verge of victory, Mikaili Sol Aaron Hadlow won the first of his five titles when he was 15 in 2004. The most likely comparison is with Gisela Pulido. The Spaniard won her first kiteboarding world title at just ten years-of-age in 2004. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, who knew she’d manage to amass nine more? Aaron said today that whatever happens, Mikaili is set to dominate in the coming years. Who else won their first World Title at 13? A young windsurfer called Robby Naish. In doing so, he gave himself time to go on and do okay… winning 23 more! Sol, a home schooled Brazilian who lives in Prea, needs just one more heat win to claim her first major World Championship. Agonisingly, her semi-final heat against French rider Pauline Valesa …

Air Games Fehmarn – The final GKA Kiteboarding World Tour stop of the season

The final GKA Kiteboarding World Tour stop of this season will take place in Fehmarn, Germany, from 24th-28th August. The stage is set / Photo: Act Agency This weekend will see the final fixture of the 2018 GKA Kiteboarding World Tour kick off in Fehmarn, Germany; one of Germany’s most popular kiting destinations that’s played host to some legendary kiteboarding World Tour events over the years. The GKA Cabarete podium placers / Photo: Genesis Reyes After a stunning event in Cabarete last month, where Carlos Mario topped the men’s division podium for the first time this season, Jesse Richman still holds the overall lead but there’s only 33 points between him and Carlos who was near-faultless in both the single and double elimination finals. Whichever of the riders wins in Fehmarn will take the title so it’s going to be a tense event for them both! Jesse in Tarifa / Photo: Toby Bromwich Jesse’s been ultra-strong at the last two events in Tarifa and Cabarete, and the mixture of big air and technical freestyle that this tour demands of the riders certainly suits his riding style, but a summer event in Europe could potentially spell light winds and Jesse himself …
