REPORT Day 10
2001-02-14,
The forecast for today has been pretty bad. And indeed for
the Table Bay area there was no wind nor nice waves. But
we got a phone call from Witsands and this made us going
quickly down to the garage and pack the car. Ater 1h driving
Jürgen and me arrived on the cliffs. The view was exciting.
Perfect waves with lines special made for surfers and windsurfers...
The winds came in with a NE direction and the bigger sets
even worked on Crayfish factory. A spot that only works
with big swell. For the sailors it was rather hard to get
out because of the very light winds on the beach. On the
Outside the wind speeded up to 45 knots. And most of the
waves were taken by the surfers... But anyway it was a fun
day although the conditions were not properly to run a duell.
Also for tomorrow the forecast is not that good for competition.
The wind might drop completely. But we will see...

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.
