Theres a rumour going around that Sir Richard Branson and a Best Kiteboarding investor (Spanish fashion label Zara) have purchased the PKRA from Mauricio Toscano.Im not sure of the details of this - but I am sure Rowdy would have an opinion. Any news to share mate.
I know Mauricio has done a great job over many years holding it together and continuing despite rival tours starting up in competition. We've had a good world cup tour - hopefully with some more money behind it we will have a great one.
I suspect the riders will be cautiously optimistic of format changes but also more prize money and coverage.It was first described in this online mag in German - (google can translate for you)http://www.faz.net/aktuell/sport/mehr-sport/kitesurfen-der-herr-milliardaer-mag-s-gerne-spektakulaer-13089834.htmlId be interested to hear it from within the organisation - Rowdy?
