That is Awesome! Congrats Alexandre!
Toby, thanks for your commitment. The petition was a great success. Many non-kiters (sailors, windsurfers) signed it as well. The ISAF had no choice than to approove the records. It's a great achievement and victory for the kiteboarding community.
Kiteboarding rules!

They did it anyway regardless of this fuss...from some overseas company that doesn't know anything about kiteboarding.
Its only about the $$$$
