wer keine lust auf den langen (6h) stream von der mesn single durchzuaschauen - hier ein 25 min clib vom finale
2019 Mercedes-Benz Aloha Classic

Solche Float & Ride Bedingungen sind das, wovon jeder Windsurfer träumen muss.
Wenn man einmal solche glassy Waves abgeritten ist, dann ist man total angefixt.
Es ist halt ein anderer Sport als "Windsurfen". Im Americanischen heisst es auch Wave-Sailing. Passt viel besser.
-
das sehe ich ganz anders, live ist das ein spektakel, wenn man dort als zuschauer auf dem hügel sitzt (ich war mal dort und bin dort stundenlang völlig gestoked gesessen), aber im video bzw. als wettkampfformat ist diese wellensucherei und das herumgedümple einfach nur langweilig.
-
Ich glaube, der schobbi meint nicht das Zuschauen, sondern selbst surfen. Ich würde aber gegen die Wand aus Weißwasser nicht raus kommen, sowieso nicht und schon gar nicht mit fast ohne Wind und mit dem “falschen Fuß” vorne...

Und dann wie Brian Talma gestern mit nem 4fachen Totalschaden (Brett, Gabel, Mast, Segel) wieder rauszukrabbeln wäre mir der Versuch auch echt nicht Wert.
Die haben meinen absoluten Respekt und in 4er Heats ist ja durchaus auch immer irgendwas los. Insofern finde ich das Format schon gut und sehenswert. -
Ich bin ganz froh, dass unser Sport so viele sehr unterschiedliche Facetten - mit völlig unterschiedlichen reizen - bietet welche sich auch im professionellen Wettkampf zeigen:
- Voll angepowert am Limit, mit 7 anderen "Irren" zu den Bojen donnern ….
- Free-Style Kunstmoves - bei denen ich nach sehr vielen Jahren Windsurfen GENAU hinschauen muss - um zu kapieren wie alles so zu Stande kam...
- Full -Power 40-50KN - High-Speed-Waveriding samt extremen Rotations-Jumps... (Pozo)
- Und eben: Flow-Style-Endless-Wave-Riding in fantastischen Naturgewalten ..welche aber auch den Besten Ihrer Zunft ..mal eben zeigen …. wer der "Chef" ist …."Stoned-Washed" ...
=> ich schaue alles gern, und kann mich für alle Aspekte voll begeistern ...die aktuellen Möglichkeiten mit den Drohnen ...befeuern all dies umso mehr …. .GEIL !!!!

Die Drohenaufnahmen von Matt sind schon allererste Sahne.
Früher brauchte man für ähnliches nen Helicopter. Der hat ein Vermögen gekostet und war für die anderen Perspektiven dann nervig dominant im Bild...
-
Das Finale war ja ganz grausames rumgedümpel. In 25 Minuten von 4 Profis 8? Wellen abgeritten, zum Ende hin reichte der Wind nochnichtmal aus um sich auf die Welle zu pumpen.
Das ist eine ganz andere Disziplin als Pozo, Sylt whatever...
Ihr habt das jetzt wirklich gerne gesehen? Mir hätten die 30s Action gereicht als Zusammenschnitt.

ich hab das schon recht gut gefunden () ich hab sogar den 6h livestream tlq. nachgeschaut )
die 25 min laufen halt nebenher - aber man bekommt mMn einen viel besseren eindruck wie das wirkliche leben ist. bei zusammenschnitten oder videos bekommt man ja den eindruck dass jede minute eine geile welle geritten wird, pro set 3 jumps und alles ist wunderbar.
so sieht man aber dass ein 25 min finale "ecjt zach" ist, dass es gutes timing, taktik braucht, dass es auch die pros böse auf die felsen haute etc. real live halt.
und in diesem sinn eine motivation für jugendliche die einsteigen wollen zu verstehen dass man "immer" aufs wasser muss um beio allen conditions zu üben - nicht nur wenns grad fein ist
und mal ehrlich - ein bisserl vor oder zurückzappen / wiederholen machen wir doch alle ,;)

Entscheidung vertagt, der gestrige Tag:
On paper, the forecast for the fourth day of the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Aloha Classic was relatively poor with only light onshore winds on offer. As always though you can never truly trust any forecast and upon arriving at the beach there were already signs of the wind trying to kick in and by 11:45am there was enough wind and enough angle on the wind to begin the Youth’s contest.
The pumping swell continued
Youth’s
The next generation of windsurfers were sent out at an over mast high - at times - Ho’okipa and they were given between 18-22 minutes to link together their top 2 wave scores. As in the pro divisions the contest was run as 4-man heats, which saw Jake Schettewi (JP / Hot Sails Maui) and Takara Ishii (RRD / RRD Sails) become the first two-man to seal their place into the winners’ final - followed by Takuma Sugi (Tabou / GA Sails) and Z Schettewi (JP / Hot Sails Maui), who advanced through the second semifinal.
In the final, Sugi produced a brilliant display of sailing as he excelled in the light wind conditions - with the wind dropping in the final - to post a total heat score of 14.17 points - which was the joint highest heat total with Ishii, who also posted 14.17 points during his opening heat. To earn an excellent 8 point score in the final Sugi too a high line before launching into a stylish aerial. The 17-year-old racked up a total of 5 waves in the final and was able to find a 6.17 point backup to deservedly win the Single Elimination.
Takuma Sugi launches into an aerial
Jake Schettewi was only able to lock in two waves during the final and while he posted two decent scores with a 5 and a 4.83 - the young local couldn’t find a way to pin back Sugi and takes home second place in the single.
Jake Schettewi
The battle for the final place on the podium was tight between Ishii and Schettewi Z, but eventually, it was Ishii who would complete the top 3 as he managed to lock in two waves, while Schettewi Z was only able to find one wave during the 18 minute final.
Takara Ishii
Elsewhere, other sailors to catch the eye were Noam Artzy (JP / Hot Sails Maui) and Luc Guidroz (Goya Windsurfing). Artzy, who only started windsurfing 6-8 months ago, combined a stylish turn and an aerial during his opening heat to earn 6.77 points for a single ride, while Guidroz also displayed some solid turns. Both made it to the semifinals before being knocked out by Schettewi J and Ishii.
Luc Guidroz
Overall the Youth’s showed off an extremely high level in what proved to be tricky conditions at times and all of them can be proud of their displays today.

The forecast for tomorrow again doesn’t look too great on paper with only light north-northeast winds currently predicted, but as today showed anything can happen despite the forecast. At 8:30am (GMT-10) on Thursday there will be a beach clean up followed by the skippers’ meeting at 10:30am - with a first possible start at 11am.

Ich fand den Contest auch mega geil zum Zuschauen, die Wellen waren ja richtig brutal und wer schon mal bei Null Wind auf einem kleinen Board versucht hat, das Weisswasser zu queren, weiss wie viel Arbeit dahinter steckt. Auf FB gibts von PWA ein kurzes Video mit den heftigsten Crashes - mega!!
Ich schaue aber auch gerne Big Wave Surfing Contests. Da dauern die Heats auch locker mal 50 min und es werden insgesamt 4 grosse Wellen gesurft. Man kann ja nebenbei noch was anderes machen:-) Ausserdem schaue ich gerne den Livestream, da man nicht nur immer sieht, wenns klappt, sondern auch wie die Profis mit diesen Bedingungen umgehen. Da kann man schön was lernen dabei...

Ich finds brutal und sehr spektakulär, wie die Pros da abgehen. Man sieht gut, welche Naturgewalt in den Wellen steckt. Wenn man selbst etwas wellen(wind-)surfen betreibt und die Konfiguration kraftvolle Ozeanwelle mit sehr wenig Wind kennt, kann man die Sache ein Stück weit nachfühlen und bekommt großen Respekt vor der Leistung und dem Einsatz der Fahrer*Innen. Zumindest mir geht das so.
Wie einige zuvor schon geschrieben haben: eine der vielen, faszinierenden Facetten unseres Sports.
Hier ein, wie ich finde, ziemlich guter Edit vom finals day:

Höre gerade im Radio, dass Phillip Köster wieder Weltmeister ist.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch 🤙 -

Und das wo Totti vorher missmutig gesagt hat, er braucht da gleich gar nicht anzutreten...

Wieso ist der Contest eigentlich schon jetzt beendet worden?
Der soll doch gemäß PWA Hompage bis zum 9.11. laufen.

Gute Frage, hab ich auch nicht gecheckt.

27/10 - 9/11 war das Zeitfenster. Aber die Ökos fordern 5 zusammenhängende Tage innerhalb dieses Zeitrahmens.
-
Ich bin der Meinung, dass er ausserordentlich verdient Weltmeister geworden ist. Auch vor dem Hintergrund, dass man die Streicher-Regel während der Saison gestrichen hat mit dem Wissen, dass Philip niemals Maui gewinnen kann.
The final competition day at the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Aloha Classic started with a beach clean at 9am with @lovetheseaplasticfree, which is a global non-profit organisation based in Maui aimed a bringing awareness and support about the environment.
Ho'okipa Beach cleanup
After the beach clean, the fifth day was relatively calm with the swell dropping in size - just overhead high in the sets - and light onshore winds meaning that the contest remained on hold for the morning and early afternoon with no real threat of ever becoming competable.
With the sailors officially released at 1pm that meant:
2019 PWA Wave World Champions - Sarah-Quita Offringa & Philip Köster
That by winning the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Aloha Classic - Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / NeilPryde / Maui Ultra Fins) - becomes the first woman in over two decades to claim the Women’s PWA World Championship - aside from the legendary Moreno twins who have dominated women’s wave sailing for over 20-years. Offringa started the year with two third places, but then markedly stepped her game in both Sylt and Maui to reel off back-to-back wave event wins for the first time in her career and deservedly claims her first wave world title.
Sarah-Quita Offringa on winning her first PWA Wave World title: “Honestly, this one feels totally different from any other title I’ve previously won. Wave sailing was a challenge, still is a challenge and this year we’ve had so many different conditions with completely different conditions. The race for the title has been really tight, so that makes it so much sweeter to win this title. Actually, I didn’t really expect it to happen this year so I’m super happy!”
2019 Women's PWA Wave World Champion
That is not only an incredible achievement for Offringa, who completes a career grand slam - having already won 12 Freestyle and 4 Slalom world titles, but it is also testament to the incredible level that both Iballa (Severne / Severne Sails / Maui Ultra Fins) & Daida (Severne / Severne Sails / Maui Ultra Fins) have set over the last two decades and their reign at the top is by no means over.
Daida dominated in Pozo earlier in the year, while Iballa finishes the year as the vice-world champion having won the world title for the last 5 years and was extremely close to winning this year’s title. If Iballa had have been able to hold on to her radical aerial in the final then the rankings may well have been reversed, but those are the fine margins that make the difference at the very top of the sport.
Justyna Sniady (Simmer / Simmer Sails / AL360) discards her result from Maui, but deservedly claims her place on the overall podium for the first time in her career - having finished on the podium in each of the opening three events.
Women's Overall Podium - Iballa Moreno, Sarah-Quita Offringa & Justyna Sniady
Mariah Andrés (Fanatic / Duotone) and Arrianne Aukes (Fanatic / Duotone / Maui Ultra Fins) both discard their results from the Aloha Classic, which means Andrés wins the 2019 IWT Championship.
Men’s
With no further contest being complete that means that Philip Köster (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins) wins his 5th PWA World Championship at just 25-years-old. Incredibly this is just the second year in which Köster did not win an event during the season since winning his first world title in 2011. The only other time that that has happened was in 2016 when he missed the final two events of the year. This time around it was his consistency that proved key with 3 podiums in Europe setting a solid base heading into Maui. Before this year’s Aloha Classic the German had never won a heat in Maui, but he righted that record this year and his 3rd place in quarterfinals here proved decisive as if he had finished 4th - Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing) would’ve collected his second wave world title and third overall.
Philip Köster speaks after officially becoming the 2019 Men’s PWA Wave World Champion: “Yeah, honestly this one feels different. This title has been a lot of work honestly. I didn’t win any events this year, which is what makes it different from the other times. Otherwise, I’m super, super happy that I made it. It’s also kind of nice to have done okay at the Aloha Classic. Before now I hadn’t actually won a heat here, so I’m stoked to have passed through a heat at the Aloha Classic. It’s really nice to finish the year here and I’m also pleased to have made it a bit further in the contest this time around. So yeah, just really happy about it!”
Magic No.5 for Philip Köster
Browne eventually ends the 2019 season as the vice-world champion - just 258 points shy of Köster and if he had found a way to advance into the top 4 here he would have been world champion. However, 2019 still represents a fantastic year for the Brazilian, who has now finished in the overall top 10 every year since his title winning year in 2013.
Meanwhile, Ricardo Campello (Brunotti Boards) finishes on the overall podium for the second consecutive year - 3rd.
Coming into the Mercedes-Benz Aloha Classic - Antoine Martin - was enjoying his best competition year to date on both the PWA and IWT, and the 26-year-old signs off 2019 in the best fashion possible by winning the prestigious Aloha Classic, which is also his first victory on the world tour. That victory here means Martin wins the IWT title for the first time in his career, whilst also recording his best result on the world tour to date - 4th overall.
