Does Aaron Hadlow's latest PKRA video profile sound like he is burned out on contests? Should Hadlow regroup and win back the 2010 world title from Kevin Langeree? Or should he do more lifestyle riding, video parts and magazine features to keep pushing the sport forward? Let us know what you think? Posted: December 10, 2009 at 10:10 AM By: john@sbcmedia.com Title (Add Comment) Aaron is the man I hope Aaron chooses to regain his title. He is the best kiteboarder of all time. He is the Kelly Slater or Parks Bonifay of our sport. Without him the pro tour would seem less relevant. Brody Snow | December 10, 2009 at 01:17 PM It won't matter pretty soon It's not going to be long before the next generation of kiters are going to doing every mobe varion in the book... one handed... and bigger. Of course I vote he stays, but He and Kevin don't have long before they're 20 more guys pushing the sport along side with them. Either way 21 is no time to retire, I think he'll get six. Kiteboardtoday.com | December 10, 2009 at 02:48 PM come back charging harder I think he's gonna come back charging harder than ever. Slater said he doesn't know where he'd be if he didn't loose to Irons. Hadlow's always whining about motivation, well loosing your title, I think, is motivation enough to come back with a vengeance. He has enough influence to really push competition in the right direction, so he should come back next year, all motivated, and end this dangle madness.

Pete McCutcheon | December 10, 2009 at 11:09 PM retire to come back! he should retire and make a come back and become the oldest world champion kiter ever.....he would have to wait till he's as old as mark shin was 7 years ago!!! so that will be alot of years of waiting! solo solinski | December 11, 2009 at 02:14 AM comps aren't the only way Hadlow pushes freestyle in the right direction but kiting may benefit more if he doesn't compete and pushes without the pressures of competition. He's only 21 - he could take a few years off, progress on his own and come back and show the world that he truly is the best. thechickenloop.com | December 16, 2009 at 09:32 PM RE Great experience. travel | March 3, 2010 at 05:35 AM Add Comment Title * Message * Name * Email Address Website Security Code *  * are required fields.
