That wouldn't be too hard But I do agree Keahi is a mad cat and I'm sure he will take out most of the comps he goes in.

Good work buddy well done.

Love it! Not just another Aussie but another young Sunny Coast lad showing how its done on the world stage.

How good is the lifestyle these guys are settling into now. It is so great to see that with a ** load of hard work ( not to mention having a ball at the same time) and with the right attitude these young groms are now able to travel the world and experience so much through kite surfing.

Liven the dream Keahi! Enjoy the stoke!

Yeah ease up on the Hateorade people! hahahah I think what Rowdy and Ewan were referring too was what we've all known for a long time, the force is strong in this one, or in non starwars speak Keahi is in a class of his own.

It will be interesting to see what he has to say about it all, you can tune in Kitelife and check it out as Keahi has played a massive part in helping out with hosting, filming and road trips right round the country (plus a bunch of super rad people too, Mike, Tom, Michelle, Scotty J, Lindsey, Michelle M, Michelle E, Joel, Lewis, Troy, Alby, Huddo, Kav, Dave, Holly... the list goes on and on and on!!!

Anyhow, big props to Keahi & Andy, Uncle Sid called it in series one of Kitelife, South Eastern Queensland, an intense pocket of raw talent, combine that with super solid crew round them, solid attitudes, and the desire and ability to pave their own roads.... super yeeewwwww's!

Yewwww. Keahi wins - Below is a snipped from the PKRA

The men wave riders were all out to take first place, however only the best wave rider of the day would be able to earn the wave single elimination title. Australian rider, Keahi De Aboitiz (Cabrinha AUT) was the man on top today finishing in first place today with a score of 15.64 points. His best wave was his third wave scoring an average of 8.34 points, one judge gave him a 9 which was the highest score given in the wave single elimination. Airton Cozzolino finished in second place with his swift turning style and wave cutting maneuvers while Abel Lago (RRD, ESP) maintained an overall high performance with his aggressive stylish bottom turns and smooth cut backs which enabled him to finish the wave single eliminations in third place.

Men Wave Results:
1. Keahi De Aboitiz
2. Airton Cozzolino
3. Abel Lago
4. Yassine Bouceta

congratulations and good stuff keahi. not to take anything away from the win-keahi is a great kitesurfer from what i've seen- but who the hell are Airton Cozzolino,Abel Lago or Yassine Bouceta?
apart from the one in chile, the PKRA wave events don't seem to involve many world class riders. it would be good to see a tour with some more specialist waveriders
