F-One Team Rider Katie Bowcutt Finishes 2nd overall in Women’s at 2012 Copa Neptuno

F-One Team Rider Katie Bowcutt finished second overall in the Women’s Division at the 2012 Copa Neptuno. It was a new spot for Katie.  Having never kited there before she had the added challenge of adapting to new conditions.  The water is much flatter than she is used to kiting.  To make things even trickier the wind was up and down so it was hard to decide what size kite would be best.  Katie went with her 6m Bandit and Acid board.  She was up against two competitors that against whom she had only placed 3rd in a competition the weekend before. She decided this time she was going to win.  She kited hard and landed a textbook handle pass right in front of the judges and landed the second place position.
