Emouth Community College student Oliver Bridge retained his youth world title and finished fourth in the men's overall rankings at the KiteRace World Championships in China.
Representing Great Britain, the 16-year-old fought off the challenge from 159 other competitors from more than 40 countries to finish top of the youth sector and fourth-quickest overall.
Steph Bridge managed to bag herself second place in the women's division behind American Erika Heineken.
It has been a superb year for Oliver, who has dominated kiteracing in England and Europe having already become men's European champion this summer in Italy.
He is now in Australia preparing for the Oceanic Championships.
Oliver could also find himself competing in Exmouth next year after a bid to see the GB National KiteRace Championships held there in 2014 was recently submitted.
