WOF 2012#24 English: PKRA Kitesurf World Cup 2012 - Morocco

PKRA World Tour 2012

Dakhla Kiteboarding World Cup 2012

Dakhla, Morocco,March 28th - April 1st 2011

The first PKRA stop in Dakhla, Morocco, provided the PKRA and its competitors with little wind and abundant down time, only heightening the anticipation for the beginning of the first official event of the year. The desolate location of this tour location, combined with intermittent Internet connectivity, and limited access to much beyond the camp, contributed to the interesting pace of the day – compelling riders to get creative with their time.  While many competitors ventured beyond the Dakhla Attitude camp, finding endless dunes to instigate an unlikely kind of “desert fun’, others stayed close, taking advantage of things like ping pong and hammock lounging. Additionally, riders enjoyed the well-prepared Moroccan meals, a few dips into the comfortable 70-degree water, and some pre-competition down time, matched with card games, computer time, and music.
