Day one of the 2021 Formula Kite U19 and A’s Youth Foil Individual World Championships was anything but easy at Hang Loose Beach.
The 65 young kiters had to face strong winds over 25 knots and big waves, but all of them went on the water for four tough races and a real baptism of fire for the five-day World Championship ending on Sunday.
The first ones to hit the water were the Formula Kite boys where Maximilian Maeder (SGP) is leading the overall ranking winning all four races.
Second is Riccardo Pianosi (ITA), while Jakub Jurkowski (POL) and Jis Van Hees (NED) are tied for third just three points off the leading pair.
In the girls category, Julia Damasiewicz (POL) also won four out of four races, with fellow country woman Magdalena Woyciechowska second with three seconds and a fourth. Zoe Boutang (FRA) is in third.
In the A’s Youth Foil class of 17 years old and under, Jan Koszowski (POL) leads by two points from Mikhail Novikov (RYF).
