THAT’S A WRAP

The GKA Kiteboarding World Tour ‘Air Games’ final event in Germany has now closed and with that we screw the lid safely on a successful first year for this new tour.

Brazilians Carlos Mario and Mikaili Sol emerged as World Champions, but both were pushed to the wire. In fact Carlos finished equal on points at the top with Jesse Richman (count-back wins separated them).
