So, the latest german speedkite contest is done,
the weather was suboptimal, fog and light rain most of the time.
Wind varied greatly as well and of rather bad quality.
We had about 5 bft in the top end, and 1 bft in the low end.
At times during a single run...
Very unforgiving to all the highly tuned and sensible speedkites,
conditions less sensible kites had much less of a problem with.
As can be seen that not a single Long kite made the cut.
Here the top results of the individual classes
