Kawa is leading the two seat 20 meter class at his second world championship in three weeks. Of course he won 15 meter at the first one. There is no doubt he’s the greatest....ever.

Exactly, less mistakes. We all make many small (and sometime big) mistakes pretty much every flight when racing or flying XC. As small as turning the wrong direction, or making unnecessary turns, or taking slightly less than optimal line. The one who makes the less mistakes fly the farthest/fastest.. Do it consistently and you can always win. How does he do it? Six sense maybe? Or he figured something none of us did yet?

A modern version of Moffat's "Low-Loss Flying". Great read.

No-one else can afford to fly so many comps at WGC level?
