live stream PWA very missliding to what happens !
Quote from PWADisplay More:42 The wind has increased to 7-10 knots, so sailors from Heat 2 onwards have been called to the committee boat.
15:35 Latest winds of 5-9 knots on the committee boat.
15:24 The sailors have been called back to the beach for the time being, but the sailors will remain in standby mode to save the most time when the wind returns. First up will be Heat 2 when we restart.
15:12 The wind hasn't improved as yet so the AP flag remains up.
15:03 The wind drops right before the restart of Heat 2 so the AP flag is up again.
7-12 knots of wind still on the course.
14:58 Heat 2 is now sailing - General Recall - Yilmazer crosses the line early and is disqualified.
14:56 Results Heat 1 - 1st Schliemann 2nd Buzianis 3rd Bouman 4th Volwater - Dunkerbeck is out in the first round!
14:55 Schliemann has built a big lead by the third mark ahead of Buzianis, Bouman and Dunkerbeck. Costa Hoevel drops back after gybing underneath Buzianis and running out of wind.
14:53 Heat 1 is now sailing - Schliemann and Costa Hoevel with the best starts. Schliemann, followed by Buzianis, Costa Hoevel and Dunkerbeck battling for the top four.
14:49 Heat 1 is now in countdown sequence.
14:47 The AP flag is down again now, so Heat 1 coming up in a few minutes time.
HI.
the wind was close but not good enough for racing the race committee did start and pulled the heat 1. trou !
Not race suitable , and last years this heats would have been canceled . heat 2 did not even start ,,, 15 later everyone send back to the beach !
I got the the first mark 2 but after that the wind go lighter and getting going was hardly possible , off course nice for the lighter guys , since there is a board and sail
Limit its normal that a lighter guy a plan earlier , but it not a fair race wind situation at all .
127 isonic 9.6 severne reflex 4 , was made for suitable wind PWA conditions not this what we had today .
Whit some rule change this year this will happen more often that we will sail in this no wind conditions !
Good or bad i gees it will make other windsurfers win which have on change in real racing conditions !
Yes it fools everyone that is not on the beach ,,,, no wind limit ok , but the also no equipment limits !
to race in this kind off wind is a joke !
not Slalom at all !
This is not about wining or loosing , but about fair windsurfing slalom conditions !

Hi All
For you info, arriving here on friday 3 Days ago ,,, and sorry to say that all my equipment hasn't made it here yet , Turkish Airlines has kept promising that it will be on the next plane ,, but,,
this morning it still wasn't there ,, so what to do ,, 131L Isonic and 111L Isonic from Jimmy Diaz fins from Steve Allen and Ben V.D Steen + harness ,,,
A 9.7 Reflex was found by the local severne and star board dealer around 11.00 ,,, boom and base as well, all good for the wind we having !!!!
14.00 start 9.7 ok ,,, then the wind picked up ,,, and i didn't have a 8.6 Chris P. lent me his for the semis and Woychek his 8.6 for the final ,, 3 Place not to bad i thought ,,,
Then the next round still 8.6 wind new format on the heat order , all on 8.6 and Chris in the 1. heat ,, i was in heat 5 which is the 4 final of the format ,,, waiting on the beach already tuning with Victor an 8.6 from an Turkish windsurfer ,,
Chris has a crash at the first mark , ends up 6 in his heat , so i decide to use his 8.6 again ,,,, rushing out to the start line ,,,, didn't have the best off start this time and didn't make it to the next round (;-(((
I am still hopeful my equipment will make it here today , so that tomorrow everything will be 100% positive again !
I do like to Thank our team for helping out where they could !
Thanks and may the wind be with us tomorrow !
Björn
P.S this be my reason you see me on a pic with no logos or with other brands ,,, i am sorry for this !!!
Hi all
we did get some wind this afternoon ,,, 10- 18 knots ,,, one more round nr.4
My Speed was great wind was up and down between 9.7m2 131 L Star Board isonic severne and 8.6m2 severne on 111L star board isonic
i was first in all my heats at the first mark .
Sorry to say that i coat my boom end jibing the second outside buoy , in the lead in the semis , not wanting to leave any room for the windsurfer in second !
,,, and fell , i must say i was pretty powered up ,,, worried to be underpowered , didn't help the jibing control .
I did then win the looses final easy so 9 place this round (:-(((
Tomorrow looks like some more wind (;-)))))
Still in 2. place , lets see if we get wind for a round or two more !
