Congratulations Lukas – again!

Another year, another NZ National title for our instructor Lukas: NZ Champion 2022 kite foiling.

He won every single race during 3 days of racing and 18 races. Once he was allegedly over the start line early, but since they discard one result on every four, he still ended up with a tidy result of only firsts. What an amazing job, Congratulations, Lukas!

It's obvious: Now he needs to go overseas and find himself serious competition and challenges in order to be able to prepare for his goal, the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Kite racing is an Olympic sport for 2024 for the first time which will be an amazing opportunity. Lukas has planned a lot out, has great contacts in Europe and already some handy experience in competing internationally. A couple of years ago, his sailing partner Justina Kitchens and Lukas won a bronze medal at the European championships. Lukas ranked 10th in the world before, so the chances are definitely there.

Here is the call for possible sponsors: Overseas campaigns are expensive for a young chap. Of course, he gets some support from Wings & Waves. His long term sponsor AXIS kiteboarding is always on board, Ozone supplies reduced price kites. Still, travelling and staying overseas is never cheap, so if you have any ideas or can offer some support or know someone who can, that will much appreciated!
