// REPORT Day 2
2001-02-06, 08:00 Mathew gives us a call from Scarborough with the latest infos: Big swell but southerly winds and rain. Wrong wind direction will let us wait to noon. Maybe it will change and we will be able to start. Riders on standby: Lars Petersen, Henning Nockel, Peter Garzke. After haveing some breakfast Sunset beach seems the place to be. Swell is picking up and the wind too. We start the first duell: Peter vs Lars. After about an hour Peter competes against Henning. You want to know who the winners are? The clips will be available up from 25th of February.

In the evening we went down to Hakat for some big wave freesailing. I think we got some nice footage that will be used for the tideguide spot guide ZA.s//

The concept / rules for this time:we changed the whole thing to a "duell". Each contest is done by 2 competitors.

Heat duration: 7 min. with one man on the water at the time then rotating to the other. All repeated 3 times, so the Camera records totally 21 minutes of each rider. Changeing of boards and sails during the heats allowed. Each rider chooses 1 minute out of his recorded material. He determines the editing of his movie. So he is able to select the moves he thinks to be the best for his result. No special effects, except slow motion. No Repeats of moves nor editing of moves in a way where it looks like they are landed while in reality they are not. The video clips will be online after our standby period of 20 days. Around the 25th of Feb you will be able to vote for your favorite competitors. The result will be presented on this "web location". So tune in again.
