Big shifts, tactical risk-taking, and rainbow chasing in Quartu Sant’Elena!🌈 Day 2 of the Sardinia Kiteboard Grand Slam brought an offshore Mistral that dropped from 16 down to 6 knots across 4 completed races - a true win-or-lose day for the fleet. From last minute 21m kite swaps to keeping kites dry, today was all about quick thinking and making the right moves.
