HADLOW / FLEXIFOIL, PKRA 5 X WORLD CHAMPIONS
On the 6th October 2008, Aaron Hadlow achieved what very few athletes
ever will. He's dominated freestyle kiteboarding for last five years,
turning just 20-years old the day before he before winning his 5th
consecutive PKRA world title.
Aaron has stayed at the top of his
game from the very start of his career. He was just 12 years old when
Flexifoil took saw his talent and recruited him to be a Team Flexifoil
Rider. From the very beginning Aaron wanted to be the world champion.
He has now achieved this an incredible five times.
He won his
first PKRA world title at 15 since then he has not looked back. To be a
world champion takes dedication; to be a 5x world champion takes an
incredible level of 100% focus, commitment, maximum effort (& a bit
of natural talent!).
Flexifoil are proud to have played a big
part in Aaron's achievements over the years and the relationship we all
have with him is second to none. A great day for British Kitesurfing!!
"The
men's double saw two final heats between Langeree and single
elimination round winner Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, GBR). The first final
heat saw Langeree outscoring Hadlow with more variety and higher moves
coupled with double pass moves, outweighing Hadlow's slightly powered
moves.
The
second final round went to Hadlow after a strong heat from both riders.
The UK's pride landed a regular and switch slim/mobe, blind judge with
aerial handle pass, front mobe to blind, shifty 3, kiteloop handle pass
and mobe 5 while Langeree landed a regular and switch kgb, blind judge
with aerial handle pass, s-bend to blind air pass, double s-bend to
blind, front mobe 5, front side 360, 313, non-inverted slim, mobe to
wrapped and kiteloop handle pass.
Hadlow performed with a lot more power and took home the crown." - PKRA MEDIA
