// REPORT Day 6
2001-02-10
, agian it is hot in Cape Town but no winds nor waves. One of the Germans who went up to Elands Bay provides us a report that also up the coast there is nothing to shred. Around noon we call again the forecast at Scarborough - Mathew Swart: After this fon call we have to go for Witsands. These beautiful placed Spot is right on the other side of Scarborough Piont. Winds for the 5.3 and a 1 to 2 meter wave of a perfect shape provide a relaxed sailing. But again we were not able to shoot another duell. One really can not reley on the weather forecasts down here. The last couple of days did dnever meet them. So we hope that the predicted winds will come tomorrow afternoon and taht we will be able to run another duell at Sunset Beach

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.
