Blazej Ozog wins the 2nd stop of the polish cup in Chalupy!
The 2nd stop of the polish cup took place in Chalupy on Hel Peninsula. It´s an amazing place for racing with flat and sweet warm water. During the competition we had light and a bit gusty wind for our bigger kites. We did 14 races what is a fair number for just two days of competition. After the first day I was on 2nd place with loss of just 1 point, after a good start in the second day I managed to win 4 out of 6 races. The result was the first place! Right now I'm getting ready for KTE in France, stay tuned for more!

North dominates the French Race Championships!
For the first time, the title of the French Champion has been awarded in a one off-event. The spot where it took place is a mystic place for sailing in France: Marseille. This mediterranean, mostly windy spot is an amazing place for racing all along large cliffs with the city center on the top. First day of competition has been a warm-up racing day in light conditions (8-10 knots) with one race concluded. At this first heat we have seen the North team dominating the race with Charles Deleau, Maxime Nocher and Olivier Dansin each time in diferent top 3 position of the men and Ariane Imbert taking the 2nd place of the girls. For the next days, the normal, strong mistral wind appeared and the North Kiteboarding Race Team used their 11 and 13m Dynos.
The friendly fight for the 1st place between Maxime Nocher and Olivier Dansin has been very intense and interesting to follow. Thanks to more consistency, Maxime Nocher took the glory in font of his teammate. Charles Deleau, with a solid 3rd place was following not far behind. The young gun Theo Sicallac, improving his level from to race and was most of the time fighting for the 3rd place with Charles.
First places were dominated by green power! At the girls, Ariane Imbert won some races but was unfortunately not able to reach the first place. Still amazing racing too! Unfortunately, the last day of the competition was a rainy day and the committee could not start any race. It is also important to mention that raceboards and foils had to compete in the same fleet. Foil boards show incredible performance in any conditions. NKB rider Nicolas Parlier is for sure one of the best foil board riders in the world, winning every race, and bringing back home the french foil title.
Congratulations to the whole Race Team - well done!!
