The most famous stars of Kitesurfing made the journey to Saint-Gilles Croix de Vie and guaranteed the show on the water. At the beginning of this season, a phenomena stands out: new talents arrive on the Kiteboard Pro World Tour and shake the top of the ranking.
The American Hawa, Jesse Richman, is astonishing : just 15 and already winner of one event of the KPWT !
Let's also congratulate the excellent performance of Mitu Monteiro from Cabo Verde !
A special thank you to the guys from Cabarete - A great spirit and what a talent!
On the women side, Kirsty Jones from UK really surprised everybody in the Waves.
