two friends who are basically two brothers,<br />
same country of origin, a completely different<br />
style and physicality. The final will keep<br />
everybody short of breath ... Airton begins<br />
quietly in the final too: he didn't land a few<br />
manoeuvres and even hit the water out of<br />
frustration and Matchu takes advantage of<br />
the situation, collecting point after point.<br />
As we already said they are very different,<br />
Matchu is more aerial based whereas Airton<br />
is more powerful. Matchu makes a nice<br />
double frontroll and a double backroll with<br />
a grab. Both of them land unbelievable crazy<br />
horse kiteloops making the audiences<br />
go crazy too. By the end the manoeuvres<br />
considered are very similar, it's a game on<br />
the razor's edge. The most beautiful manoeuvres<br />
are the double front by Matchu<br />
and the front and backside passes by Airton,<br />
the difference comes with an immense<br />
shoveit frontroll by Airton who after getting<br />
it wrong for three times, lands this impressive<br />
manoeuvre, for sure one of the best<br />
seen throughout the competition. The judges'<br />
scorings show a result with a 0.5 difference<br />
between the riders, amazing! Airton is<br />
the King of Tarifa for the second time, a victory<br />
conquered through the battle againt is<br />
"brother" Matchu, manoeuvre after manoeuvre,<br />
a battle even more beautiful thanks to<br />
the strong friendship and sportsmanship<br />
that bind these two great riders.<br />
The final day of the event is the big air<br />
and best trick contest with Woo devices<br />
attached to the boards. Strong and gusty<br />
Levant and as usual this wind allows huge<br />
kiteloops, some monstrous wipeouts, and<br />
Julien Kerneur pays the price for it and<br />
leaves the contest on a stretcher following
