J4/5 Tech Kombi at Boreal

The Tech Kombi is several phases of slalom gates and giant slalom gates. Boreal put on a good training event. The race times reflected how well the racers reacted to the rhythm changes on the course. Early light edge pressure was rewarded with a fast time.
A good learning experience for all the racers.
