He all a happy update from my side.

Just the weekend before the First tour stop of the year, pkra France in leucate. I was in Mirns (north of holland) where was a cool Event and they also had a pro contest where they asked me to compete in. They had a Pro ranking.

The wind was up and down all day but Finally i had some good tricks and i ended up in first place, was happy had some money and a nice Camera Thanks!

 We drove al the way to France and unfortunately i had to do trials because last year i didn’t compete. The wind was Cold , strong, and gusty. Around 20 to 45 knots.

I was riding almost the whole event overpowerd on my 6m Slingshot RPM, witch worked perfectly! 

After a while i was coming close to the final against Aaron, pfff what a final we both tried to pull out some nice kiteloops and we pushed it! sweet. 

Aaron tried the sick megaloop KGB, sick!!!!  in the end Aaron won after a close decision the judges told me! i got 2nd.

 The same day we started of with the doubles i had around 4 hours to relax but because i was already on from 9 o clock in the morning waiting in the beach with my wetsuit on, i got pretty tired as well.

Kevin came al the way trough the heats, up to me and i knew i had to ride very well, i started of not that strong and than i went for it and i won! i had some powered tricks and also a big ass kiteloop 5, so again against Aaron in the Final. The wind dropped a bit and i had to take my 8m RPM. The power was alright. I was quit tired but stoked in the same time. And Aaron was just ripping it up like a crazy Mo%^&ker, insane! Congrats dude.
