August 4th 2014 - a day that will change the sport

Amazing things happening at the PKRA Germany.
Lots of industry here, like a surf expo.

Mark that day and stay tuned for 2 great achievements for the sport.

Happy guessing :thumb:

No, but should be soon!
I assume max 1-2 weeks.

Will have to wait for official press releases.

No announcements, just meetings which will lead to official info at one point.

A spectator friendly type of racing for the Olympics? Some sort of boarder cross?
