Kajiya and Coccoluto Triumph in Qatar

Qatar GKA Freestyle Kite World Cup

A strong, cool wind blew in across the lagoon with riders on eight to eleven metre kites, often with a heap of depower yanked on. The 22 – 25 knot wind speeds belied the density in its power.

By the time the women’s final got underway, the Qatari crowds were ready to get their first taste of a world class Freestyle final.

Catch up on all yesterday’s action, including the highlight video and both streams!
