Kiteboarding World Champion takes a massive wipeout

Youri Zoon is currently riding in Brazil in the PKRA world kiteboarding tour, he doesn't need to; he's already won it - but this week, the apparently 'caraaaaazy kitesurfer' has managed to score the wipeout of the week from online Youtube show Xtreme Video. That in itself isn't all that newsworthy, but the fact that Xtreme Video is not just another kitesurfing based online show - means that Youri's had a bigger crash than all the other snowboarders, BMX riders and 'caraaaaaazy' people out there - and it's been recognised. 

Thanks to the current world champ and his slight miscalculation, the sport of kitesurfing has been put under the spotlight for over 60,000 subscribers. Thanks Youri! 

Opening in August 2007, Kitepower Australia Queensland, or KPQ, is the newest addition to the Kitepower chain. In September 2011, KPQ moved a few blocks down the road to a newly refurbished shopfront. The move allowed the shop to expand into other watersports like stand-up paddling and wakeboarding, as well as beachwear and toys. Across the road from the store is Pelican park and Bells beach, which are the perfect locations for flying kites and practising all kinds of watersports...
