The second annual Hainan international kitesurfing Festival got underway today with the registration of the top PKRA riders. Most riders have been here for two three days and have taken advantage of conditions. The winds have been in the 15 knot range, except for today when the trade winds did not kick in. All the top riders are here ready to do battle the second consecutive Chinese event. Alex Pastor has already clinched his world title; Gisela Pulido can clinch another one with a win here.
