The first event of 2009 PKRA Tour already started.
The event is taking place at the famous Mondial Du Vent in Leucate, France .

In the women’s events Angela Peral (North, ESP) took the win against Bruna Kajiya (Best, BRA) in the 7th heat as the ladies continued from yesterday’s postponed event. The Brazilian rider however, managed to secure the 3rd podium spot by defeating Johara Sykes-Davies (Flexifoil, GBR) in the loosers final.

World Champ Gisela Pulido still proved to be the one to beat in the women’s division by winning the singles elimination against Peral with a blind judge, raley and front roll.

Kajiya however, gave Pulido a run for her money and told a different story in the doubles event. The Brazilian champ stopped Joanna Litwin (Nobile, POL) in the 17th heat before taking out Peral in the 18th with a blind judge, s-bend and front roll. She then faced Pulido in the finals, landing several handle pass moves plus winning with a lot more variation and power. With Pulido looking out of sorts and crashing several tricks in the second final event, Kajiya homed in for the kill and landed a blind judge, s-bend to blind, raley to wrapped, back to blind and back to toeside, winning with a lot more variation and a higher technical difficulty score.
