The wind was pretty light the last days, so there has been many races so far. The wind stayed til early middays and died off completely and it started raining. That’s why we decided to get up at 6am the other day and go to a lagune to go kiting again. When we arrived the conditions where epic. Super flat water und good winds up to 18 knotes. We set up super quickly when the wind died off completely again after 10min. So that meant back to the event and take care for the Kitelife tent.
This morning the North Sea was super rough. The wind was blowing with about 44 knotes in the gust. The sand was flying over the beach and in the eyes. Only the judges were safe in the judging tower of rain and sandstorms.
Spectecular jumps up to 12 meters could be seen til the late evening when the single elimination was ridden. Kevin Langaree advanced before Aaron Hadlow and Youri Zoon. It was a super bad day for the German riders as Stefan Permien’s leash broke, Jan Schiegnitz’ kite popped and Rick Jensen’s bar broke as well as a screw of his bindings.
Special guest was Ruben Lenten who popped up sometimes in the judging area and did some megaloops. Yeah!
Let’s see what tomorrow brings when the sun is shining at the beach of st. Peter Ording.
