Unfortunately the wind did not play ball for the freestylers today and so it was decided by race director Olaf Van Tol that he would run races for as long as the wind cooperates.

The weather in St Peter Ording, Germany was outstanding. Clear, sunny blue skies and record warm temperatures hovered the beach while holidaymakers, locals and crew members enjoyed the sunshine. A total of two races were completed before the wind completely diminished.

It was a winning day for French rider Bruno Sroka (Cabrinha, FRA) who won the first as well as the second race. Rolf Van Der Vlugt (Airush, NED) finished second in both races followed by Julien Kerneur (Takoon, FRA) who finished third, again in both races.

In the women’s racing division, Steph Bridge (North, GBR) finished first in the first race of the day, followed by Caroline Adrien (Cabrinha, FRA) in second and Kristen Boese (Best, GER) in third. In the second race of the day, Katja Roose (Airush, NED) finished first while Caroline Adrien (Cabrinha, FRA) remains in the second position and Kristen Boese (Best, GER) takes third place.

At 3:00pm Van Tol dismissed all the riders for the day due to the non-existent wind. A meeting between the riders and PKRA judging crew was held this afternoon to discuss judging criteria. Riders had the perfect opportunity to challenge questions of concern as well as debate over previous issues in regards to the judging aspect of competitions.

Tomorrow’s mandatory skippers’ meeting is scheduled for 11:00am.
