After a month of waiting for better conditions of waves and wind, the perfect day had finally arrived. The coast of Matanzas showed waves of five meters high waves in the area of Rock Square, which had already hosted the world circuit in 2007 and 2008.
However, Diban was not easy, because he had to fight in heats against the technical and daring ride of Francisco Sanchez, and the whole experience of Richard Parot, eternal animator podiums in the sport.
After the victory, Juan Pablo Diban indicated that “the kite in Chile is a family and each day more people are being encouraged to practice it. That will make the level rise and grow the sport however, it also made me too happy to defend my crown. I thank the companies that are supporting me and motivate anyone who wants to pursue because right now the support is very good. ”
