Day two of the PKRA Freestyle Junior World Championships offered little contestable wind, as gusty up and down conditions persisted. Over the course of the day, one heat was completed and many heats were abandoned as the wind failed to hold despite the favorable forecast.
After the great freestyle conditions of yesterday’s thermal breeze, riders were amped to continue on with the competition. With conditions expected to be strongest in the morning, the rider’s meeting was held at 9:00 am with the anticipation of getting underway early. Under ominous clouds, the cool Tramontane winds were blowing lightly side-offshore to the beach. By 10:30 the winds had increased, prompting the start of heats. However, the breeze dropped off soon after, as riders struggled to stay in the competition area on their 11-13m kites.
