Johnny and Erika take out the world titles ,Adam right up there congrats guys.



on another note the Kiwis have shown just how strong they are as a sailing nation , for such a small country the kiwis are always at the pointy end of the fleet no matter if it's Americas cup or round the world yacht racing. Looks like they got the jump on us in Aus with top 10 placings in both men's and women's kite racing in the gold fleet . Could be some serious competition in the southern hemisphere.

I think I remember reading on the polys forum that kite racing has a long way to go

Where ever they think it is going, it is getting there fast

Yeah they had alot of people, issue is the junior and female develpoment. Last worlds for rs:x had 20 more females and "junior" racing is pretty much non exsistant in kiting.
