<strong>The</strong> second round of the<br />
kiteboard world cup 2004, was<br />
held between the 11 th and 18 th<br />
of July at Burc Beach close to<br />
Istanbul, Turkey. After an<br />
unlucky start with hard winds<br />
during night and no wind at all<br />
during daytime, the wind finally<br />
came together during the last<br />
days. <strong>The</strong> competition offered<br />
high standard from the start with<br />
among others Charles Deleau,<br />
last year’s winner of the cup,<br />
doing double handle passes.<br />
Another who really impressed<br />
was 15 years old Kevin Langree<br />
from Holland. On the women<br />
side the show was stolen by an<br />
even younger competitor – 10<br />
years old Gisela Pulido from<br />
Spain.<br />
After the first elimination,<br />
Mickaël Fernandez held the<br />
lead before Charles Deleau and<br />
Kevin Langeree. On the women<br />
side it was Gisela Pulido in top,<br />
followed by Laurence Lignieres<br />
and Fabienne D’Ortoli. <strong>The</strong> wind<br />
continued to blow on the last<br />
day and a second elimination<br />
could be held. <strong>The</strong> women’s<br />
result stayed the same, and on<br />
the men’s side Kevin managed<br />
to advance one place.<br />
