Maputo Race Championship - Leg 2

The 2nd leg of the Maputo Kiteboarding Championship 2010-2011 was held on Saturday 16th of October. The wind was once again blowing South-East so we went from Miramar beach to Triunfo Beach.

10 riders participated to this 2nd race. This time the riders had to pass a buoy just after the start and all arrived at same time on the buoy...after a few tangles we finally manage to get rid of this buoy!

The end of the race was really epic as the wind was dying and the riders had to loop kites and jump of the board to reach the beach!

Once again the ambiance was really cool and fair play. Here are a few pictures of the race and arrival as well as the leg and championship rankings.

Maputo Kiteboarding Race Championship 2010-2011

Dear kitesurfers,

The Maputo Race Championship 2010-2010 started on last Monday 4th of October. 10 competitors for the first leg! We did the race from Miramar to Triunfo beach this time. The initial race should have taken place on the Sunday 3rd from Xefina Island to Miramar but we had no wind unfortunatelly.

Kitezone Mozambique is organizing this championship to encourage riders to practice and compete in a fair-play spirit. 12 to 16 races will be organized until June 2011. There will be a ranking for each race but also for the general championship. Nice prizes will be awarded!

See above the ranking for the first race. Sergio Ricardina is the actual leader of the general championship and Francesco Laserpe is the leader of the Rookie championship. Rookies are the one with less than 1 year practicing kitesurf at their first race of the championship.

Here is the schedule for the races all along 2010 and 2011.
