Zitat von PWAAlles anzeigen2010 PWA CABO VERDE WORLD CUP – Event Summary
A World Champion is crowned in Cabo Verde, but there’s no new king of Ponta Preta!
From the 15th through to the 23rd November the beautiful island of Sal played host to the world’s wavesailing elite for their grand finale of 2010. Having gone from strength to strength throughout the event’s three-year history, the fourth was expected to deliver conditions of the same epic proportions.
Unfortunately however, after the nine-day holding period was over just five man-on-man heats had been completed at the gnarly location of Curral Joul. This meant the rankings remained unchanged, and the 2010 Pozo champion, Victor Fernandez (Fanatic, North, MFC) claimed his first ever PWA wave world title ahead of three times former freestyle world champion, Ricardo Campello (JP, NeilPryde), and 2009 Pozo champion, Philip Koster (Starboard, NeilPryde, Dakine).
Hottest Heats
Despite there not being an official result, the ten sailors who fought hard during the contest deserve a mention. The first to advance was the master of light wind wavesailing, Thomas Traversa (Tabou, Gaastra) who, having spent plenty of time seeking out similar wave perfection in Indonesia, stamped his authority on Yann Sorlut (RRD, Simmer) on day three.
On the sixth day of competition Sal witnessed the all-British affair of Ross Williams (Tabou, Gaastra) battling it out with Jamie Hancock (Tabou, Vandal) for a place in the final 16. Hancock had far more waves, but in the final few seconds Williams caught the highest scoring ride of the entire day to help him advance.
The next heat was an all-Venezuelan affair with Diony Guadagnino (Hot Sails, MFC) taking on current world number two, Ricardo Campello. Campello’s turns looked more impressive, but Guadagnino was busting out the aerials. It was a close run heat throughout, but in the end the judges gave it to Guadagnino – a godsend for Victor Fernandez in the race for the title, but a huge blow to the three time former freestyle world champion who had his sights set high.
Next to tiptoe their way off the rocks, and ride for their lives along the shore were Alex Mussolini (Tabou, Gaastra) and Jules Denel (Exocet). Denel put up an impressive fight, but with Mussolini launching into aerials over dry sections of rock, it was always going to be tough for the Frenchman to advance. In the end, the 2009 Sylt wave champion, Mussolini won by a convincing margin to secure his spot in the final 16.
The final heat of the contest saw Canarian ripper, Dany Bruch (Patrik, Severne, AL360) pass ahead of German, Florian Jung (RRD, Gun, Dakine). After Jung’s first few waves, he spent a prolonged period stuck on the inside, unable to get back out until late in the heat, whilst Bruch racked up the points with some stylish top turns and a couple of aerials. Jung eventually made it back out, but by that time the wind had begun to decrease and the waves flattened off, leaving him with an almost impossible task in the dying minutes.
Casualties Of Curral Joul
German, Florian Jung fell victim to the rocks on the sixth day of competition. Having completed his heat against Bruch, he was hotfooting it home when a wave washed in and forced his sail against his leg. The local doctors said he’d sustained multiple fractures and dislocations to his foot, ankle, and leg, so he flew home immediately to seek the best advice. From everyone here at the PWA, we wish him a speedy recovery.
The Waiting Game
Aside from the two days that saw some windsurfing action, for the remainder of the week the sailors were seen sheltering from the sun in their cars at Curral Joul, or tearing the waves to pieces on their surfboards and SUPs.

Zitat von PWAAlles anzeigen2010 PWA CABO VERDE WORLD CUP – Day Eight
Less than 24 hours separate Victor Fernandez from the possibility of claiming his first ever PWA wave world title!
The relaxing vibe of Cabo Verde continued on the eighth day of competition, with the small waves and gentle breezes not being sufficient to hold any heats. And with a similar outlook for the final day of the holding period, the top ranked competitors overall for the year have begun their countdown to having their names etched in the PWA’s history books.
The current world number one ranked sailor, Victor Fernandez (Fanatic, North, MFC) has mentioned that he’s still focusing on getting through his first heat, but there must be a part of him that secretly hopes he never has to hit the water. In just 24 hours, if no more heats are sailed, he will be crowned the 2010 PWA Wave World Champion.
Sitting in second place overall, and desperately praying for no more wind is three-time former freestyle world champion, Ricardo Campello (JP, NeilPryde, MFC). After his shock exit from the single elimination at Curral Joul on Saturday - which would mean that if the competition reached a conclusion he would almost certainly lose his second place ranking for the year - the young Venezuelan took himself off for a long walk, presumably to have a word with the man upstairs. And judging by the forecast, his prayers could well have been heard…
2009 Pozo Wave Champion, Philip Koster (Starboard, NeilPryde, Dakine) will be the final wavesailor to stand tall on the podium if everything remains as it is. In a highly professional manner, Koster hit the water early at Curral Joul a couple of days ago to gain some invaluable knowledge. And with similar professionalism, the judges haven’t heard so much as whisper of complaint about the conditions the contest began in, which, with so much at stake, can only bode well for his future career in the sport.
As with all things weather related, the organisers remain uncertain about whether or not the contest will resume tomorrow, and how the rest of the contest will pan out. However, one thing they can be sure of is that they will definitely be crowning the 2010 wave world champion tomorrow.

Ich bin shr froh,dass Herr Lessacher für seine Finne,zum Glück "nur" €150,- ansetzt,denn das ist ein Preis,den ich sehr gerne bezahle,da in meinen Augen hier das Preis -Leistungsverhältnis paßt!!!
Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt aber nur einseitig. Davon leben kann man nicht, nicht mal eine Werkstatt finanzieren. Das ist brotlose Kunst, die Wolfgang da macht. Und vor Allem geht das ganz arg zu Lasten seiner Gesundheit... -
Tag 7, sieht ja nicht schlecht aus für Victor...
Zitat von PWAAlles anzeigen2010 PWA CABO VERDE WORLD CUP – Day Seven
Clear blue skies, calm seas, and a gentle tropical breeze provided idyllic conditions for a relaxing afternoon in paradise.
With signs of a moderate sized swell building in the North of Sal this morning the organisers were filled with the hope that a small increase in the wind would allow the competition to resume.
Most of the sailors stationed themselves at the desolate location of Curral Joul in preparation for their heats. But, after waiting patiently all morning, with only their vehicles for shade, head judge Duncan Coombs decided to let them return south to Santa Maria for a more comfortable afternoon.
The organisers and the crew made every effort to hunt down some suitable conditions, but the wind and waves simply failed to materialise, leaving the sailors to endure a further day on standby.
Eye On The Horizon
The forecast for the final two days of the holding period doesn’t look too promising at the moment with both the swell and wind showing signs of disappearing. However, with the possibility of local thermal effects at locations like “Little Ho’okipa” there’s every chance that something could still happen.
Keep In The Groove -
Nur mal so ein Gedanke.. warum bekommt Herr Lessacher seine Preise für die Finnen???
Bekommt er ja nicht, er macht es aus Liebe. Für die 150 Tacken, die er m.W. nimmt, kann normalerweise kein Mensch eine Fullcarbon Finne von Hand bauen. Die müsste mindestens 100 Euro teurer sein, dann bräuchte er sich auch weniger Gedanken um seine Gesundheit machen. Vor Allem jetzt in der kalten Jahreszeit... -
Aber sicherlich sind die Importeure hauptsächlich Schuld am verramschen.
Natürlich spielt das da rein, wenn ein Importeur auch noch für den Ausverkauf nach produzieren läßt. Ein Shop kann das nicht lange so machen, spätestens nach einem halben Jahr ist er dann weg vom Fenster...
War schon hart zu sehen, als vor 2 Jahren auf der boot nagelneue F2 für 399 Euro zu haben waren, in großem Stile.Natürlich fängt der Fisch am Kopf zu stinken an, aber unschuldig letztendlich ist niemand in der Kette. Und dann noch in einer Branche, die eh einem Haifischbecken gleicht...
-
Für die Zukunft steht es in Sachen Internationale Rennen ehr schlecht... Markus S. macht da wohl nicht weiter oder ist raus und einen Nachfolger gibt es noch nicht!
Es stimmt, Markus Schwendtner ist raus.Ich denke das ist gut so. Ich denke auch, daß wir nächstes Jahr einen guten internationalen Event haben werden neben den "Klassikern" wie Gruissan, Weymouth usw.
Pete Davis wird wahrscheinlich erstmal die Ruder in die Hand nehmen, ich denke das wäre auch geil, wenn er es komplett machen würde. Ich weiß aber nicht, ob er die Zeit und vor Allem Lust dazu hat. -
Das war Tag 6:
Zitat von PWAAlles anzeigen2010 PWA CABO VERDE WORLD CUP – Day Six
A dramatic day sees four more heats completed, a man in hospital, the first title contender down, and a few less urchins on the rocks of Curral Joul!
After a short period on standby and with signs of the new North swell materialising, head judge, Duncan Coombs made the call for the fleet to go straight to Curral Joul today. The minute the sailors arrived, the wind increased, and the occasional set wave caused a stir. Following a frantic rigging frenzy, a third of the fleet were on the water within a few minutes, gaining vital knowledge of a spot most of them had never sailed.
No time was wasted in making the decision to begin the contest in the boom to head high waves and 8-10 knot breeze. The sailors were given thirty minutes to prove their worth in a man-on-man duel under the watchful eye of the international judging panel in which two wave rides would count towards their overall score.
It was an all-British affair in the first heat of the day with Ross Williams (Tabou, Gaastra) and Jamie Hancock (Tabou, Vandal) battling it out for their place in the top 16. Hancock caught far more waves than Williams, but he failed to ride them to quite the same standard. Williams launched into some impressive aerials throughout the heat, and in the final few seconds caught the highest scoring wave of the entire day to see him progress with ease.
For the next heat we moved across the Atlantic for an all-Venezuelan affair with Diony Guadagnino (Hot Sails, MFC) taking on current world number two, Ricardo Campello (JP, NeilPryde, MFC). Moments before the heat, Guadagnino was seeking medical attention with a huge gash to his arm from an earlier incident with the reef. However, fired up and on form, Guadagnino hit the water to give it a 110%. Campello’s turns looked more impressive, but Guadagnino was busting out the aerials. It was a close run heat throughout, but in the end the judges gave it to Guadagnino by the narrowest of margins – a godsend for Victor Fernandez (Fanatic, North, MFC) in the race for the title, but a huge blow to the former freestyle world champion who had his sights set high.
Following Campello’s dramatic end, it was the turn of Alex Mussolini (Tabou, Gaastra) and Jules Denel (Exocet) to tiptoe their way off the rocks, and ride for their lives along the shore. Denel put up an impressive fight, but with Mussolini launching into aerials over dry sections of rock, it was always going to be tough for the Frenchman to advance. The 2009 Sylt wave champion, Mussolini won by a convincing margin to secure his spot in the final 16.
The final heat of the day saw Canarian ripper, Dany Bruch (Patrik, Severne, AL360, MFC) pass ahead of German, Florian Jung (RRD, Gun, Dakine). After Jung’s first few waves, he spent a prolonged period stuck on the inside, unable to get back out until late in the heat, whilst Bruch racked up the points with some stylish top turns and a couple of aerials. Jung eventually made it back out, but by that time the wind had begun to decrease, and the waves flattened off leaving him with an almost impossible task in the dying minutes.
The Cursed Heat
Having tried to run the heat between Josh Angulo (Angulo, Gun, Dakine) and Klaas Voget (Fanatic, Simmer, MFC) quite a few times already, it came as no surprise that the minute they left the shore after Bruch and Jung, the wind completely disappeared. Lets hope the curse is lifted before tomorrow morning so that the competition can continue to a full conclusion.
First Casualty
The gnarly rocks of Curral Joul took their first casualty today in the form of German, Florian Jung (RRD, Gun, Dakine). Having completed his heat against Bruch, he was hotfooting it over the rocks when a wave washed in and forced his sail against his leg. At the time of going to press we do not know the extent of his injuries, just that he has sustained multiple fractures and multiple dislocations of his foot, ankle, and leg. We wish him all the best on his road to recovery.

Jau, ich dir auch.
Schaue selten in die PNs, weil es meist Nachrichten/Fragen sind, die besser im Forum gestellt werden können. Sorry..... -
Hi,
ich habe den nicht. Ich habe fälschlicherweise zwei 53er bekommen, anstatt einen 53 und einen 58.
Ich habe also 2x den 53 abzugeben...

Lang genug spekuliert, hier ist was von Point-7:
Zitat von Point-7Alles anzeigenPoint-7 and Challenger Sails: a new sail development initiative.
High performance windsurfing equipment, capable of winning at the pinnacle level of the sport, can only be developed through a professional loft structure, working with a team of professional designers, skilled technicians and a highly qualified test team.
Andrea Cucchi (Point-7) and Claudio Badiali (Challenger sails) have both decided to unite their company’s strengths through a collaboration of the Point-7 Test Team and Head of development together with the Challenger Loft Design Team. Challenger sails have a unique structure in Europe to develop and build prototype sails overnight utilising sophisticated design programs, multiple CNC cutters and highly skilled staff of professional craftsmen; which together with the Point-7 team will be able to produce some truly mind blowing development.
This cooperation is not a merger of the two brands but a strengthening of their individual company programs and products. This new relationship will produce faster and higher quality-orientated development paths for both brands, in their range of products.
Andrea Cucchi, “the engineering structure that Challenger has here in Europe is a dream for any windsurfing brand. The opportunity to design a total new sail concept in a matter of hours and then testing it the next morning on the water is what will allow our brand to push forward and stay at the forefront of development. With no limitation in the sail materials we can access, including customised battens and custom quivers to be tested continuously, this is going to be really exciting for all of us; having a large team of professional designers and builders sweat to death to build windsurfing dreams and reach our goals.”Claudio Badiali, “Point-7 has showed in the last years an exponential growth in a market at a moment that the world was facing crisis. Andrea was capable of fine tuning race-winning products with a unique style that windsurfers have appreciated. Their services and customer service have brought satisfaction and a real community feeling in windsurfing. A great team that I will have immense pleasure in supporting with our sail loft structure and sail designers Mario and Francesco Mainero and of course myself, to bring this incredible joint venture to have both Challenger and Point-7, fighting for top winning results and great products for everyone to blast and dominate the world’s waters.”

Die Spannung steigt...
Zitat von PWAAlles anzeigen2010 PWA CABO VERDE WORLD CUP – Day Five
The perfect waves of Cabo Verde take a rest on day five, allowing us to catch up with current world number one, Victor Fernandez…
With more wind today than any other so far it was unfortunate that the distinct lack of swell put a halt to the proceedings. Head judge, Duncan Coombs scoured the island from first light, but with no conditions to speak of decided to release the riders early in the afternoon.
Whilst the sailors were on standby, we took the opportunity to talk to the man whose entire year hangs in the balance of the following four days, Victor Fernandez (Fanatic, North, MFC).
PWA: How are you feeling now that you’re potentially only four days away from claiming your first ever PWA wave world title?
VF: “I feel exactly the same as when we started 5 days ago. The forecast looks okay for tomorrow, so there’s a chance that the competition could begin again. I’m still focusing on my first heat. That’s the only thing on my mind right now.”
PWA: How have you coped with being so tantalizingly close to competing the last few days?
VF: “I’ve actually just been keeping focused on the competition, and tried not to let my mind drift off. As soon as the first heat hit the water on Wednesday, I was watching it closely to see how the guys sailed, where they hit the lip, and how they moved around the break.”
PWA: Do you think we should have been competing these past few days?
VF: “No. I don’t think it would have made for a fair competition, and I think most of the top 20 competitors agree with me when I say that. In those conditions you would be very lucky if you managed to catch two good waves in half an hour - the wind was so light that you could barely waterstart, and it was a pretty bad direction too. It would have been unfair to send out the guys who’d been competing all year into such unsuitable conditions. You can’t let luck be the determining factor of a year’s hard work.”
PWA: Having now seen both Josh Angulo (Angulo, Gun, Dakine) and Thomas Traversa (Tabou, Gaastra) absolutely tearing the waves to pieces in extremely light winds, do you fear them more now?
VF: “It hasn’t surprised me, I know they both rip when it’s light. Thomas is only 58kgs, so he’s a master of those conditions, and Josh rides much bigger gear than everyone else, and knows how to use it to his advantage. Luckily, I wouldn’t meet either of those guys until the final of the single elimination - if I do actually make it that far. Lets just wait and see what happens. I don’t like to think about who I might be up against because I might never get there.”
PWA: How do you feel having seen the local guy you’re up against in your first heat, Edson Tavares out on the water?
VF: “I feel fairly confident having trained here in these conditions for almost a month now, and I’ve got used to sailing with my 5.7 and my 92L board. Although, I’ve only actually managed to sail at little Ho’okipa so far, so I’ll just take each heat as it comes.”
PWA: Despite only thinking about each heat if, and when you progress, is there anyone on your half of the draw you fear the most?
VF: “I think if I do make it through to the second round, every single heat after that will be extremely tough – they’re the top 16 guys in the world remember!”
PWA: Any final thoughts?
VF: “This is a very important event for me. I hope that all of the hard work that I’ve put in this year pays off, so that I can achieve what I’ve been searching for, for so many years.”

My 2 Cents: Mach da keine Pferde scheu und nimm halt im Fall des Falles die 4 Wochen in Kauf, die gehen auch rum. Besser als wenn Du jetzt mit einer fadenscheinigen Begründung kommst und morgen auf der Strasse sitzt. Ein neuer Arbeitgeber wird das verstehen, daß Du nicht von heute auf morgen da sein kannst...
