During the PKRA Germany event last week the riders met with IKA Executive Secretary, Markus Schwendtner, and PKRA tour manager Mauricio Toscano and requested by unanimous vote to revert the freestyle and wave ranking point system to the traditional point system as it is easier to understand and points for competitions can be estimated in advance, independent from the number of riders participating.

Also during this meeting it has been discussed that there is no need for an overall ranking and that it is the riders unanimous wish to drop such ranking with immediate effect.

This year has been the most fantastic year for wind and weather conditions here in St. Peter-Ording, Germany. The sun has been out nearly every day and record-breaking temperatures have embraced hundreds of fans, spectators, locals as well as vacationers from all around the world.

More than 114 competitors from 20 different nationalities competed in a total of 3 disciplines such as freestyle, race and board off.
