PKRA - Back to Back Asian stops start next week

The PKRA will be returning to China next week for the second year in a row with a new event in Pingtan with 80,000$ in prize money and another event on the tropical Island of Hainan in the Chinese South Sea. With three freestyle events left in the season the Spaniards Alex Pastor and Gisela Pulido are in the lead. Bryan Lake and Christine Boenniger are in the lead for slalom. Injuries to Youri Zoon and Bruna Kajiya in Germany have made the road a little easier for the top contenders, but both are recovering well and should be back on the water shortly. These two events in Asia show how kitesurfing is expending throughout the world and is truly a global sport. The Island of Pingtan located on the east coast of China in the Taiwan Strait is notorious for strong winds and extreme conditions and will be a great play ground for the top PKRA riders.
