MaiTai Cabarete Freestyle Invitational 2016 – Final Day

Today was a day that went down in kiteboarding history. Not only for the insane action during our finals, but also for the successful completion of the very first World Kiteboarding League event, which was created by the riders, for the riders, and showed the world just how amazing a kiteboarding event really can be. The action commenced at 3pm, with the ladies final. All four women put on a tough battle for the podium, but the queen of this event was Brazilian rider and former World Champion Bruna Kajiya. Bruna rode with focus and determination, pulling off a nice back to blind that scored her 8.4 points that gave her the advantage. Following close behind her in second place was Paula Novotna, who also pulled out a nice back to blind and S-mobe, but it wasn’t quite enough to catch up to the Brazilian Kajiya. UK rider Hannah Whiteley performed an amazing back mobe, which put her into third place overall, and Estefania Rosa, also from Brazil, rode incredibly well with a nice slim chance, but not enough to gain a higher spot on the podium. Congratulations to all the girls in the final for putting on such an …

One of the most exciting elements of the day was the activation of our live stream. As it was one of the elements that has been greatly missed by our fans, we were delighted to have an amazing media team here on location to make this happen.

Maitai Cabarete Freestyle Invitational – Day One and Two

The first day of the event saw an important meeting for the riders to discuss the implementation of the new competition format. This is a process that has been worked on hard by the judging team and the board of the KRU, and they are looking forward to getting started immediately with it. At the end of day one all the riders were invited to LAX Bar and Restaurant for the event registration, dinner and a presentation of the crew and organization. Susi Mai and Bill Tai from Maitai Global gave a great talk about their personal motivation to organize this wonderful event, and Danny Galiart, CEO of the World Kiteboarding League also spoke about the origins of the new Tour. There are 30 men and 12 women registered for the event, of over 10 different nationalities. On day two, the winds of Cabarete unfortunately failed to arrive with enough force to get through many of the heats. There were various attempts to get the the trials underway, but the wind did not play ball, and eventually the Race Director called off the heats until tomorrow, after completing only the first heat of the trials. It was local rider Lorenzo …
