Successful kick-off event in Podersdorf, Austria

German rider Mario RODWALD & colombian racer Riccardo LACCESE acquired austrian titles

Podersdorf, May 6^th – sunny temperatures, tropical feeling and windy conditions made the first tourstop of the MINI KTE 2012 to a felicitous kick-off event.

95 riders out of 22 nations started in Podersdorf to embattle the first title of the European Championship. A part of the 119.000 Surfworld Cup visitors and exhibitors, supported the professional kitesurfers with action and lust for life, while a full display of the newest MINIs lined the beach in style. 

Day 3 of the first MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe stop in Podersdorf, Austria, provided the MINI KTE and its competitors with little wind and down time, only heightening the anticipation for the beginning of the race and the double elimination in freestyle.

Today, wind was expected to arrive mid-day, and competitors anticipated the beginning of trials as soon as conditions permit.

Second round for the MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe in Podersdorf…

Depression area “Thunderstorm” began the day with dark clouds and windless mourning. Most of the guys weren’t still awake at the 7h30 riders meeting, but after a big breakfast of Chupa Chups Lolllipops, windy conditions and physical power came back again.

With a few clouds in the air, but windy conditions we’ve opened the MINI Kitesurf Tour Europe 2012 in Podersdorf/ Austria. The first tourstop starts with 95 riders out from 22 nations. The European title will be an embattled conquest of nations.

Tomorrow we'll start with the rider registration... amazing 92 riders on the list, 25 degrees and nice wind are waiting for us.

Let's rock PODERSDORF!!! See you there...
