Warm blue, sunny skies lit up the beautiful beach of Playa del Carmen this morning as course racers dashed out on the water just before the red flag went up at 11:00am sharp. Two fantastic races were held before lunch on an up & down course set by Race Director, Erik Troostheide.

During lunch the wind shifted to a more southerly direction therefore a change in the course setup was necessary for the following two races of the day. Riders were on 14-16m kites to compensate for the light wind conditions, which were between 8-13 knots with unpredictable choppy water.
