Pro Teams!
Knowing what we have always known, you would think the pro riders would have a pretty good understanding of who might actually do well in this fizzy drink event, well once again you are wrong. Their fantasy team scores are as follows.
Lorenzo’s Team: 634.25
Andrea’s Team: 619.83
Jaime’s Team: 590.78
Baby Shark’s Team: 545.21
Sam Light’s Team: 520.81
Marc’s Team: 431.73
Jason’s Team: 366.22
Giel’s Team: 328.89
Meaning, our highest-placed “Pro” team comes in at unceremonial low 226th place.
2024…
Yes, you all will have your moment of redemption in 2024. Fantasy Kiteboarding has plans to bring you even more fantasy events, as well as the opportunity to create your own private leagues where you can face off against your friends and family.
