Louis Tapper has clearly won the 2018/19 XC Championship with 622.05 points. He also had the highest scoring flight, in New Zealand, of the season... a 156km FAI triangle in mid-December.
The PCC congratulates Louis on his huge achievement and we will get the trophy engraved and shipped down to his Mum for him.
Louis had this to say about his victory:
The cross country season hasn't been that flash weather wise, but I have tried to make the best of it, with a few lines planned 5 years ago coming to fruition. I have seen the XC trophy sitting on Bryan Moores' table for quite a few years and more recently Nick Neynens has dominated, nice to have won finally. The process of progression is still however the most fun part for me, not the trophy or winning. This season has also had the biggest walkout (5 hours) in 7 years after pushing a triangle out late in the day with my extremely lightweight gear (Ozone Enzo 3 and full comp harness 25kg) ;-). Not that bad really considering how stuck it is possible to get in the NZ mountains. The new wings/online contests are making flights more accessible and visible than ever. Planning and preparation are however key for those aspiring to fly big or deep in NZWell done, Louis!
