2009
So this year has sort of come to a disappointing end for me, for sure my heart has not been in it as much as it has been in the past but to finish this year with another win would have been great.
I feel like it finished pretty harsh for me in the end, there was 4 events this year with 1 discard, my best 3 results were two 1st and a 3rd but unfortunately there was less points in Fuerte so that 1st place ended up being a result that I had to discard? I thought that was a sort of weird rule but I guess thats the way it goes.
So for sure a combination of events didn’t work in my favor this time around, if the points stayed the same in Fuerte I think I would have won but they were the rules this year so now it is time for me to move on and forward and see what 2010 brings.
Congrats to the new Champs
Its not just about the competitions
we think that this year was really successful 4 u, u gave us few really amazing movies and u show us your perfect style…and thats what important for us.u have to keep doing this sport for fun not just for wininggs

Aloha,PS: If u will not win PKRA next year I will delete your web from my favorites
Yo man,
Sucks for sure, sorry to hear that. Weird year anyways. But no-one else hass won 5 times and I doubt they ever will, so you can rest on those laurels a while. New logo is sick btw. Got some news on documentary but long story.. get in touch whenever you’ve got time.. and check inflight entertainment if you’re ever flying Qantas. laters, mxr
Hi Aaron,
The defeat is a victory for the force of the spirit. 2010 will be a new year !
Why fuerte less points?
Weird men, seems to me like a fixed pkra this year.
Every event must have the same points, if not, we are talking of a non transparent event.
There´s one true champion:
Hadlow!!!!!
man…for me you will be the best forever!!you have created new tricks and this is not for anybody!! and 2010 is your!!!
you will always be the best!!!!!!!
Hope it works out better for u next year.
The Scoop awaits you Aaron…
No worries mate, just keep going! I love to watch your style and videos, just keep going mate…
It’s all about the fun!
Bad luck Aaron but I am sure you can win again next year if you are motivated and want to!
Bad luck! Well shit happends. A strange season and some strange roules. I think I think I speek for most of us kiters out there when I say that you are still the most impressive, with the smoothest style (read: the best in our view anyway). Keep up the good work, and those mind blowing videos comming! Looking forward to see you beat the crap out of the rest nest year!
You’re the best and you know it.
Everyone tries to copy your tricks and your style.
Just keep going!
How does a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd (kevin’s counting scores) beat two 1sts and a 3rd? I don’t get the logic of awarding some events more points than others…
)
Still, I guess that pushing the sport and inventing new tricks for us to try is more important than PKRA recognition – you’re still the best kiter in the world as far as we’re concerned!
your still 5times world champ and no one can beat that!!!
your are still The One who motivates us with your new tricks, keep it up m8!
hey man,
no offense but Being 5x world champion you should rise above the bullshit and the whinning, AFTER the result is in.
also being unsatisfied with the rules or whatever kite-high style etc – you´re in the position to try to change the format, rules or whatever… so do as you do with you riding on the other sides of things too. “Dont follow, Lead”
next year, you show, who have the POWER!
not too sure what to say except that u are off my xmas card list this year,lol. i think u should go freeride this coming year with ruben and just get out there havin fun and making awesome movies. i love the movies your style but dont really care about comps. keep it real.
Hi Aaron, in France every one prefer your riding !
I don’t understand the rules of pkra, why fuerte win count less !
Best Rider, Best Style… Continue !
Aaron, if your sponsors give 25% prize money to pkra organizers, you have 1000points in Fuerte. …and you are The Champion 2009
You got robbed my friend, the fact that the fuerte event counted for less just because of prize money is retarded and if I had been the one to beat you because of that I would feel like I didn’t deserve the title. Kevin can celebrate his win by a technicality all he wants but he is no champion. I look forward to seeing you step away from these lame contests and focus on the way you want to ride.
has az unlucky this is not just how it goes this is just how it goes with kitesurfing today. If you stop doing PKRa who is in that that inspires anybody in kiting>?? It will fail and will be an embaressment to kitesurfing
Try to mug the poop scoopers off they are the most collective narrow minded retards that exist in kitesurfing who believe that just what you connect yourself with to the board is what it is all about. The bottom line with those guys is that they ride with kites high but believe they are cool because they associate themselves with a sport that is embarrassed by most of what they claim. Just a bunch of guys with a mid life crisis you know how 35 years olds go through a stage of trying to dress cool again???
Do your in stuff with Ruben thats all anyone cares about anyway.

Hi Aaron, you are just Mr Wake Style Kiteboarding for all of us and your videos made the new school. Even though there are some who started the new style many years ago, you are the one who gave the most allowing us to try learn your moves (and I guess also your competitors learnt a lot from them …).
Keep up the good job!
hey m8
partying, having fun and freeriding. What else ?
This year, PKRa rules are fucked anyway and don’t reflect the truth. Just do your things and continue to give us food for our eyes.
cheers
Franck
ps : if you are up for a beer today, call Vaik
The PKRA this year was a total farce! The amount of sponsorship money available should never affect points. You have been conned and everyone knows it. This is actually bad for Kevin too – everyone is saying that he is not world champ material whereas before he was just there in the background.
Do your own thing Aaron. Look at Ruben – he does alright
Hello Aaron. In Russia very indignant accrued points in Fuerte! We do not agree with the results of this year and very disappointed with the decision PKRA! You ?hampion of this year!
Thank you everybody for your support.
I will continue to do my thing and we will see how that goes.
I have some good plans for 2010 that I’m pretty sure everyone will be stoked on.
Defend the title is more difficult then win the title. it’s a shame about the stops of the pkra…only 4 STOPS this year! really disappointed
what do you think azza?
We are wishing new victories! We expecting new videos from you! Good luck in the new year!
ton vrai esprit de gagnant est dans cette phrase..merci de nous faire rêver et de faire évoluer le sport dans ce sens.
On pense tous à toi pour 2010
reviens au touquet quand tu veux, il n’y a pas que des “slingshot riders” las bas
Aaron, sorry to hear that, I`m dissappointed with you… but my congratulation TO YOU, for constant performances on a very high level in 2009, no-one showed us such a powerfull, perfect style. It`s a pleasure to watch your videos.
And: No-one has won 5 times in a row!!!
Keep on, you are the champ.Cheers Doro.

Greetings Mr. Hadlow. I want to say that we in Russia estimate you Aaron as a unique personality an outstanding talented person who was, is and will be in the list of the chosen ones like M.Schumacher in F1 or Valentino Rossi in MotoGP forever. Your 1 place+1place+3place beats any 3place+2place+1place of Langeree but I think it is a fault of organisers of PKRA they have to give your 250 score for Fuerteventura! There are also some crazy russians who wants a payback from PKRA executives. And Naish is risking not to get any sales in Russia in 2010 because sport is sport and not a commerce. Russia for Aaron Hadlow the true 6 times World Champion 2009.
Don’t worry Aaron, we still love you. You’re a Cornish sporting hero and we follow your news. Good luck in 2010, you’ll be back up in no time.
Happy Christmas!
