Registration day was one flat day with not a single breeze of wind, so all we got ion was all the registration and some fun on the beach. I have to say is a very nice beach down here, just not the right place for the kitesurfing on north wind conditions.
The opening thing that evening was an amazing light/laser show in downtown HK.
So on Thursday we had some strong wind coming in from the north straight down the mountain, the problem is it's very gusty and not really stable. So we try to do some freestyle but we had to cancell the thing after the first heat, it was just tooo gusty. Kites were falling out of the sky, riders were not able to launch theire kites on the beach. So we all changed to racing, it was not much easier to make a course that actually lays inside of the windarea, but we got it finally done.
The offshore wind was new to most riders and it took a while to get all the riders out to the starting line due to starting problems on the beach. After the first heat got recalled, we managed to get a full race in s in mens race as well as for the womens. I have to say the womens behave much easier when it comes to starting sequence, i think they actually listen when i tell them something at the riders meeting, while the guys just do what they think is right.
So that night i fell asleep right after dinner, was pretty nakerd from sitting on the boat the whole day, left out with no food, no drinks...
So today again no wind on the forecast, but we did the best out of it till now...
a really funny SUP competition and a riders clinic with Alberto Rondinha (famouse since he beat hadlows ass in the last PKRA round) and Julien Hosp (PKRA Judge)
so more to come later...
