PKRA - TERI KITE PRO 2009 - DAY 5

Today was super nice - warm weather and windy conditions bid the last day of the Teri Kite Pro 2009 goodbye. Air temperature peaked at 28 degrees Celsius while the wind averaged 18 knots. The good weather condition enabled events director Olaf Van Tol to organize an Expression Session for the huge crowd and the media gathered on the beach.

The mandatory riders’ meeting was held at 12:00 noon with a majority of the competitors joining the event which lasted for about an hour from 3:00 pm until 4:00 pm. After the expression session, the official awards ceremony was held, for the winners of the New Caledonia Freestyle competition, as well as the winners of yesterday’s three disciplines and the crowning of the new PKRA World Tour Champions. The awarding ceremony officially ends the Tour year. Here is a recap of all the winners:
