Dirk Hanel ::: Kiteboarding

For the last Stop of the PKRA Course Racing World Tour we the riders went to Paros , Greece.

It was a perfect location for the last show down of the year as the water and wind quality in Paros was great. In the little channel between Anitparos and Paros the battle was on once again between French Bruno Sroka and me!

Bruno had his guns fully loaded with a new board he was always a little step infront of me. I  just made too many little mistakes in each race to take away a win from Sroka so in the end it was once again Bruno who took the win with me finishing on a great second place and French Rider Julien Kerneur in third.

The overall title of the 2009 PKRA Curse Race Tour therefore went to Bruno Sroka, and Hanel ( with only 3 competitons that I had competed in 2009)  finished in third position with just a few points behind Sebastian Salerno from France, who had the chance to compete in all 4 competitions of this year!

Still it has been a great year of racing the PKRA Tour and a third place after two really strong events now in the end is a great finish for the season. for sure next year the battle will be on again!
