Lüderitz 2015

Ja, vielleicht muss dem Cattelan mal erklären was der Unterschied zwischen Luvstau und Chopkiller ist...

Zitat von GER 1

Aber anscheinend funktioniert er ja - ich hab das Wasser jedenfalls noch nie so glatt gesehen.

Stimmt, ist ja aber auch kein Wind. Und das bißchen Wind was bisher weht wird ja umgeleitet...

Oder der Lattenverlauf... Oder einen aerodynamischen Anzug für den Fahrer... Oder, oder, oder...

Geplant war, dass er nächste Woche hin reist.

In dem Zusammenhang auch mal was aus Fahrersicht, auf seiner Facebookseite tun sich Abgründe auf:

Zitat von Alain de Gendt

Yesterday we had a "ceremony" in the Nest hotel. It was mindblowing to here Sophie produce again all these lies. And even more shoking was to here some of the sponsors present thank them for the good job they've done so far! Kafka. Meanwhile we are still waiting for a proposal to compensate all windsurfers, this was promised to us already one week ago, but we all know by now what a promise means to this organisation.
Lucky for them there was Heidi Ulrich, otherwise they simply had nothing to talk about regarding windsurf the past 2 weeks.
All of us feel so sorry for her that she had to sail in those bad conditions, what she did was simply amazing! huge respect!
To be able to produce some more "content", there was Martin, the caddy from Tsjech windsurfer Martin Toth. He was not even in the event, but Sophie lent him some gear so he could set a national kite record, that's how it works the Luderitz record factory.
Good to know, there had never before been a claim for the Tsjech kite record!
We all had a good laugh and some beers on it in Barrels pub with the Tjsech Martins, to bad they have to leave today.
I mention this as an example how clever they play the marketing game and with all respect to Martin ofcourse, after all he said " I don't like to kite that much, I only do snowkiting in winter"
Thanx Rosi for the pix. check that chop and you know enough. For the first time ever on the canal I had a spin-out, I was lucky to recover, I can't blame the fin or board, there's a limit to what a fin can take.
Saturday they finally did what we've been asking for since 2 weeks, a grader levelled out the upwind side of the canal. Now there are 2 things left; waterlevel and that downwind sandwall. For 6 windsufers it's to late anyway.

Indeed it is Jeffrey, Seb and Sophie are giving me a hard time here, but I don't care(yesterday I almost had a fight with that guy in the Nest hotel, he shouted at the general manager of the hotel to have me removed-with no succes ofcourse...), they did this now 3 years in a row and I have emails from people telling me it was the same story in 2010. They stole our dreams and money, what do I have to lose? (Besides being physically threatened by him like he did the other day in the presence of others) So I like to warn as many speedsailors as possible to never come here again as long as they are running the show. Locals feel so bad about this, they are not to blame, on the contrary, they have always supported in the best possible way.

Thanx to all for the support, Yesterday again a fight at the canal, Seb shouted the most obseen insults to me in te presence of main sponsor Chriz Benz and 10 other riders. Seb didn't want to drive me back upwind after a run....so I walked back and finally went sailing alone on the lagoon again. Now the majority of riders are new( 7 Frenchies and British rider Farrel ) and that creates a whole new situation. He shouted that I would never get that Belgian record again!! Insane.

Aktuell wird gefahren, ob auch Alain auf dem Wasser ist, weiss ich nicht.
