Aaron is king of the air
A 26-YEAR-OLD kiteboarder from Maidstone has been crowned Red Bull King of the Air. The win, in Cape Town, South
Africa further cements Aaron Had- low’s reputation as one of the sport’s all-time greats, having earned the title of world kitesurfing champion on five occasions. Aaron, who was born and brought up in Maidstone, said: “I know the conditions in Cape Town well and I knew I had a good chance, but you never know how it’s going to go. “Once I went out there I was just
full of adrenaline and managed to pull some pretty sick moves so I’m
really happy now. “The atmosphere here at Big Bay
is like nothing else – the crowd loves it. It’s the one event in kiteboarding that really is for kiteboarding and I’m so happy to be on top." Aaron’s win comes after a wel-
come return to the competition cir- cuit in 2013 after a two-year break. His two massive Megaloop KGBs
that he twice landed during the Red Bull finalwere greeted by judges as “easily the performance of the day”. The intricate move involves a back-roll megaloop and unhooking and passing the bar behind your back. The move also won him the Mystic Move of the Day.
Furniture store to close
A TWO-day sale will mark the closure of the Lincoln Furniture Warehouse in Maidstone after 16 years in St Peter’s Street, Maid- stone. For the business in the big yellow building, whosewebsite boasts
“real staff”, a “real shop” and items in stock, the change to online shopping has not been enough to keep the business open. It is understood the closure will see 17 staff, many of whom are long-serving, lose their jobs. The closing down sale runs for just two days, starting on Febru- ary 28. Doors close for the last time on March 1.

AN empty pub in Maidstone looks set to be turned into a hostel for the homeless. Maidstone Council has agreed a
plan to convert The Cricketers Arms, in Mote Road, into a shelter for adults. The pub has been vacant since 2011. The application, submitted by Homeless Care Ltd, provoked com- plaints from residents about possi- ble noise and issues with parking.
