Organizers and competitors gathered at McGee Beach in Corpus Christi, TX, for the final day of the 2010 IKA World Kite Racing Championship not knowing what to expect.
Corpus Christi, TX, is known as one of the most consistently windy spots in the USA but for Day 3 of the IKA Kite Course Racing Championship, did not deliver.
Today was a completely different day for the 34 racers from 14 countries participating in the 2010 IKA World Kite Racing Championship.
