REPORT Day 8
2001-02-12,
7:30 Today is the day for hitting the potthole dirt road
to Elands Bay. There are supposed to be strong winds and
waves up to 3 meter. After getting the food and enough water
we go up there with Henning, Jürgen, Lars and Henne.
After about 2.5 h of shaking we finally turn around the
Baboon Rock. ELands Bay is awesome. More about this in the
upcoming spot guide for South africa (on DVD!). At 12:00
the winds are not that strong enough to run a duell. So
checked out the point for a never ending wave ride. I really
got stoked. After 1.5 hours the winds are getting very strong.
Lars and Henning are tottaly over powerd. But anyway we
get some nice moves. I am really wondering who will wind
that duell...

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.
