2021 KiteFoil World Series
Fifteen years old but strong as on old ox, Singapore’s Max Maeder was fast out of the blocks at the 2021 KiteFoil World Series Fuerteventura. Three back-to-back bullets in the pre-lunch session of double-lap races launched Maeder into an early and decisive lead.
In the post-lunch session Maeder couldn’t match the same level of dominance and slipped back as the afternoon wore on, although he still holds a 1 point lead over Great Britain’s Connor Bainbridge who was master of the sundown session with scores of 1,3,2. Perhaps more importantly for the overall event, the big Briton is currently discarding his opening race score of fifth and is faring best on total aggregate points while Maeder is discarding a 19th.
