Watch highlights from the European Kite Racing Championships at Hang Loose Beach in Gizzeria, Italy.
What happens when an Open 60 matches up against a windsurfer, a Moth, and a kiteboarder?
Kai Lenny’s $1,500 Kite Board vs ORACLE TEAM USA’s $15 million catamaran…”It’s like bringing a knife to a gun fight,” said ORACLE TEAM USA grinder Matt Mitchell. Those were the comments of Jimmy Spithill, the skipper of ORACLE TEAM USA and the defenders of the America’s Cup.
Johnny Heineken, the 2012 Kiteboarding Course Racing World Champion, and Jen French, the 2012 Paralympic Silver Medalist in the SKUD-18 class, were named US Sailing’s 2012 Rolex Yachtsman and Yachtswoman of the Year.
Kiteboard racing is different, and so are its rules. “Rules” from our November/December 2009 issue.
Last fall, Moth sailor Brad Funk, kiteboarder Damien Leroy, and the 49er crew of Alex Bishop and Valen Smith met on Biscayne Bay to see who had the fastest ride.
