Is this remarkable or what??

I'm surprised there'e been no discussion/praising/pimping/criticism from the masses.

I bet if he rode another brand we would hear the regular pimps crowing from the roof tops!!!

"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."

Typical

Stole It !!! You have got to be F$%&ing kidding !!! At the end of the day he won it... It's not like the judges gave it to him 'cos he deserves it ! Jesus ! You can't take it away from him... That's five times... In a row !!!
Perhaps Slater doesn't deserve his surfing title either !!!
What is it with knocking the successful ?
Well done...

Who's Hadlow?

Good winds,

He is English [}:)][}:)][}:)][}:)]

hey hirchausen, i think yomofo wasnt given crap to hadlow... he was saying than its typical that the pkra are still punishing riders for lower powered moves compared to triple hundred handlepasses.

Yeah but according to hadlow, some of the stalled grabs hes doing now imbetween passes are actually harder than just throwing yourself into a double pass as you have to get your rotation going again mid flow

In order to win the pkra, he had to actually go back a few steps and start throwing doubles everywhere for the judges. Wouldnt be surprised if he took some time off now as the judges arent keeping up!

Ah yep, my bad,
Yep, PKRA is still the PKRA.
They still decide what's what,
Hadlow is still the World champ.... again,
Apologies for the misunderstanding, I was dissing the guy who was critiquing the result over some "powered moves" statement. Kinda like having a dummy spit over the ref calling a holding the ball in the grand final 15m out. That's life.

PKRA makes the call = Hadlow world champ x 5

Onto more important things.....3m swell, 20-30knots late tomorrow, must go to bed to get ready for a hard day on the water.

hadlow is sick and very talented, 5 in a row is an amazing feet in any sport. specially kiteboarding, I mean criteria changes, the sport as a whole is still developoing in new ways and judges aren't always spot on..
Give the man a medal, he has done really well on his flexi foils :-)

Hey how did our young Aussie up an comer go in the last event?
Where are you Andy and what's been happening?

Heard that our own home grown talent Mr Yates has not done so badly for himself in his first year of regular international competition.

Well done mate -

I agree ^^^^

And style always looks a sh!t load better than scrappy multiple spin pass moves anyway.

Its not 'dancing on ice'!
