KTA Boracay 2012

it's already a while back but i thought i should write a little wrap up of the KTA Boracay tour stop.

This year i had to start early to organize it, since i was local organizer and competition director. So not only dealing wt the daily schedule stuff, but also run around the island and get permissions done, wt a lot of help from Ken. The observing the whole setup, get everything printed on time and delivered. It was all on very short notice.. since the main sponsor signed the contract about 5weeks before the tour stop and we had a 2 week block off for xmas and new year.. where nobody really works.
I the end it was well worth it, first of all we had 80! competitors registered, reduced the partys to what is actually needed, and made every one feel comfortable on the spot and able to focus on kiteboarding.
The Beachfront of Aqua Boracay is definitely the best spot for the competition, the widest beach and once finished it will be a stunning background.
We started off wt the freestyle and went all the way to the single finals. Very successful first day of competition. Second day was as good as day one, races in the bag in both categories twin tip and race boards and freestyle doubles started.
We managed to make it all the way to the double finals on day3 and had the last day reserved for racing only. Lucky as we are, the wind dropped off on the last day and we could only do a few more races.
We had a nice opening party in Epic, a midweek party in Dos Mestizos and the final night was in Sands Bar and the after party in Jungle Bar... as u can guess.. we had a blast and i think no one went home sober :-)

All in all.. the best event we ever had on this island. thx to all the competitors, i hope i will see u all again next year again on my home spot and hopefully together wt Aqua Boracay again..
