After my last kite adventure in Sri Lanka i went of to the KTA China tour stop. We set up camp in a new location there, called Pingtan Island, next bigger city is Fuzhou. The wind here is nuking, most of the houses around the city have big rocks on the roof to keep it in place, 50knots is nothing unusual here.
We were lucky and got some good winds, we did the full freestyle doubles and some TT and RB races.
The crowd was crazy, it was not the usual couple hundreds it was more like couple of thousands that spread along the beach. The whole city got a day of from the government to come to the beach and check out the competition. The KTA videos were running on a massive, Broadway size screen in the middle of the city for the last month, so everyone knew what was goin on on the beach that weekend.
We also had a record of participants in the TT class, which will hopefully be soon included in the official rankings of IKA and ISAF since this is the biggest fleet at every event.
It was a very good event, wt a ginormous beach setup and a very good hotel. A small spontaneous mid week balcony room party... which ended up wt some snow like feathers flying all over... ;-)
All the riders got free accommodation and free food every day. We had great food and some cute little chines students to translate for us, these angels are very helpful if u don't speak a word of chines.
The final party was not as crazy as others but still good.
