The second day of the Beetle Kitesurf World Cup consisted of racing as a main focus and the cancelation of trial heats due to light winds and stormy weather. Arriving in the morning to see what would be in store, competitors gathered to hear from Race Director, Olaf Van Tol, as he explained the course diagram and the overall plan for day two. A straightforward course was laid out and the riders went on to prepare their gear and begin the first race of the event.
A fleet of over 35 took part in competition today. An impressive spectacle with not a single tangle throughout the day, racers provided onlookers with quite the show, exhibiting perfect racing form with tight racing and close finishes.
After 3 races Riccardo Leccese is leading the path, with John Heineken and Bryan Lake Just behind him. Julien Kerneur ia actually in 9th position due to a 13 in the first race, but a 3rd on Race 3 looks promising for our French raider to improve his ranking right at the first discard.
Anyway there is still a long way to go, so keep following us on RRD channels…
