// REPORT Day 12
2001-02-16
, The day for beeing late: woke up in the morning cause of rough winds slamin our windows. But first of all we have to put Lars to the airport. This was the 1st reason of beeing late at Big Bay. At 12:30 the beach was too crowded to run a duell. The riders supposed to be in: Klaas Voget and Bernd Flessner. So we decided to shoot again with the water cam. But this was not that lucky, too. The cam has been in the car too long and therefor is was to warm for the housing. The lens got foggy after 10 minutes. Again we have been to late. Afterwards we decided toget some food befor going to Melkbos. The last reason of beeing late. The sun is not good enough anymore for shooting a webfight.

By the way on the way home we were ble to shoot a few scenes of a major film production near Hakat. It might be the latest James Bond?

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.
