PKRA - Hadlow and Winkowska Top the Singles in Germany

The eighth day of the Think Blue Kitesurf World Cup saw big winds and bigger tricks as the world’s best kiteboarders did battle in stormy North Sea conditions in front of thousands of spectators who braved the volatile weather for a front row seat at the action. Completing the full single elimination ladder, it was former world champions, Aaron Hadlow (GB) and Karolina Winkowska (PL) taking the top podium spots in their respective categories.

Earning his first win since his return to the PKRA World Tour, Hadlow was elated, commenting on his win “I was watching the forecast the days before and I was kind of waiting for this moment all week. I could feel that this was my chance and knowing that it was going to be stormy, I was pretty up to the challenge. I’m use to these conditions from back home in England so I was pretty keen to give it a go." Hadlow was quick to acknowledge that he hasn’t won yet. “I’m really happy to take first in the singles, but I’m not going to celebrate yet. It’s not a done deal. I could still come second in the doubles and my goal is to finish first."
