The Cabarete World Cup 2007 drew to a close once again with a new men’s freestyle champion in the person of Ariel Corniel (EH, Dominican Republic) who has dominated much of the event with a display of new school kiteboarding tricks. Much of the event highlights came from this young kiteboarder to the delight of the local crowd. Current PKRA world number one Aaron Hadlow (Flexifoil, UK) did not make it to the top three this year but Alvaro Onieva (Best, Spain) and Mallory de la Villemarque (North, France) managed to secure the second and third spot respectively, with local kiteboarding hero Alex Soto (Cabrinha, Dominican Republic) finishing in fourth place. Bruna Kajiya took the top spot for the women’s title.
