PKRA - Day Three - Barra Grande Kiteboarding Grand Slam

Day three competition started earlier than the days previous with the lighter winds making the first Womens heats really impressive, all top four women, Pulido, Kayjia, Lammerts and Winkowska had excellent heats. Backmobes and Front to Blinds were the flavour of the day with all top four women executing one or both in their heats. Kayjia came out riding solid in her first heats shaping up for a possible final appearance, sadly she couldn’t keep it up against Pulido. Both Women having a somewhat average heat with Pulido making it through to the final. The tour rookie Lammerts once again came up against the tour leader Winkowska in the semi finals, Lammerts tried her best to overpower Winkowska but in the end she couldn’t land enough tricks falling short of Winkowskas powered consistency. The final was another classic Pulido Vs Winkowska match up, with both girls coming out strong. Pulido took the more technical approach whilst Winkowska tried to keep it solid with her kite low. The tricky conditions seemed to favour Pulidos heat approach however as she managed to land a few more tricks than Winkowska with a nice Front to Blind narrowly edging out Winkowska for the win.
