Alex Pastor. Kiteboarding

1st on the singles in Germany

Looks like Spain is on a winning streak haha. After the victory on the world cup and Nadal on Wimbledon, I came to Germany with the spirit of the “red fury”!

It was a great day for me. I rode the way I wanted and landed some hard tricks like a KGB5 on the final. The conditions were pretty choppy, so before popping, I had to look for the place to land.

Luckily everything went right on that final and on the semifinal (against Kevin Langeree and Andy Yates respectively) and I took the win of the single elimination. I’m really happy for that.

So, the single elimination ended up like this:

1st, Alex Pastor

2nd, Andy Yates

3rd, Kevin Langeree

Enjoy!

3rd at France PKRA

Unluckily we only had one day of wind in the hole event.

We ran the single elimination on the first day, but the wind dropped for the next 5 days so the only thing we could do is to ride the cable. There was a pretty cool cable close to the event so we didn’t get really bored. Luckily I received the new airush wakeskate that’s coming out this year so we had a lot of fun. Stoked with the way it’s working.

The day of wind we had was pretty sick actually. It was not cold for my 4/3 wetsuit and good wind for my 7.5 Generator. I had some good heats until I came up against  Youri on the semifinals. Was a pretty close heat but I didn’t ride my best on that one and Youri landed a really cool front blind mobe.

Then I came up against Kevin for 3rd/ 4th place. Rode better than him on this one so I came up to the podium. Stoked on the third place which puts me 2nd overall (tided with Kevin), but a bit disappointed we didn’t have more wind on Leucate, which is always pretty windy.

Looking forward to the next event in Cabarete!
