The final day of the 2013 Pingtan kiteboarding World Cup brought more great winds and many great races were run. The day started with the TT races, Julien Kuerner dominated the discipline, but many local riders came out and really enjoyed the race. Later in the afternoon two slalom races were run, with Bryan Lake winning both of them and the event, Paula Novotna was in great form and won both races and the event as well. In the evening a great closing ceremony was held at the Pingtan Dragon Phoenix Resort Honor hotel with all the riders coming out to cheer on the winners.
Three races of the TT racing series were run; the course was set up with an upwind reach and a downwind leg around the mark to the finish line. A Large fleet came out to compete in the discipline and all three races were very exciting. Julien Kuerner from France with his experience dominated the race but it gave the opportunity for many riders to compete in their first PKRA event. On the womens side it was Kay Su who won the Race series.
