The PKRA race competition in Playa del Carmen was incredible, thanks to the classic warm turquoise waters and the friendly, spirited culture of the Mexican people. Unfortunately, the last day of competition was decided that both the race and freestyle portions of this final day would be cancelled. The wind was offshore.

3. Adam Koch (USA)
Final Women’s Results (racing):
1. Katja Roose (NED)

The freestyle riders were unable to complete the single elimination ladder, the four finalists – Sean Farley (MEX), Alberto Rondina (ITA), Noe Mixtli (MEX) and Miguel Manzanilla (MEX) gained equal recognition on stage for this event. While this podium did not reflect a completed competition, it was most certainly exciting to see the local riders from Playa Del Carmen and Progreso shine at their home spot.
