PWA World Cup Podersdorf
Tag 2: Tow-In und eine abendliche, kurze aber actionreiche Freeestylesession.
Gestern zeigte der Neusiedlersee erneut wie unvorhersehbar die Wind- und Wetterbedingungen dort sind. Nach einem sonnigen Tag zog kurz vor Sonnenuntergang eine Kaltfront durch, die eine kurze Zeit für Wind sorgte. Der Wind reichte aus um zwei weitere Läufe der Single Elimination durchzuführen. Schon früher am Tag wurde der erste Qualifikationslauf des Chiemsee Tow-In gefahren. Single Elimination Heat 2b and 4b were the first heats to be sailed this evening as Mattia Fabrizi (Fanatic / North) took on Yarden Meir (Goya Windsurfing / Maui Ultra Fins) and Adam Sims (Patrik / Sailloft Hamburg / Flymount) competed against Yegor Popretinskiy (Fanatic / North / Flymount / Maui Ultra Fins). Fabrizi was able to advance into the next round with a culo helping make the difference. Meanwhile, Sims defeated his Russian counterpart after landing the only shuvit spock of the day. Julien Mas (JP / Avanti) delivered a standout performance in heat 3 as he clinically dispatched of Jamie Howard (JP / NeilPryde). The Frenchman exploded through a repertoire of the latest power moves to setup a tie against Davy Scheffers (Tabou / GA Sails) in the next round. On the b-side of the panel seventeen year old Sam Esteve (JP / NeilPryde) successfully navigated his way passed Loick Spicher (North). Chiemsee Tow-in Qualification Tonky Frans (Tabou / GA Sails) stole the show in the first heat of the tow-in qualification as the man from Bonaire landed a superb double burner, whilst local boy Max Matissek (Fanatic / North) also booked his place in the final with a flaka-shaka. German Marco Lufen (JP / NeilPryde) grabbed the final qualifying place with a smooth double funnel to narrowly defeat Yentel Caers (JP / NeilPryde) by half a point. The wind looks like it will be very light tomorrow, but as Podersdorf showed today virtually anything can happen. The skippers’ meeting will be held at 10am with the action commencing from 10:30am - if conditions allow. If the wind does indeed remain light then there will be more action with the tow-in freestyle. Don’t miss any of the action by tuning into www.pwaworldtour.com.
