PWA World Cup Podersdorf
Tag 3: Die Qualifikation im Tow-In wurden abgeschlossen, hoffen auf Wind für den morgigen Tag um die Single Elimination zu Ende zu fahren.
Wie erwartet blieb der Wind am dritten Tag des Podersdorf PWA World Cup leicht. Der Tag stand deshalb voll im Zeichen des Chiemsee Tow-in Freestyle. Auf dem Veranstaltungsgelände wird es zwischenzeitlich immer voller, die Side Events und Partys rund um den Worldcup sind in vollem Gange. Day 3: Tow-in qualifications completed as hopes turn towards tomorrow for completion of single elimination As expected the wind remained light on the third day of Podersdorf PWA Surf World Cup meaning the tow-in freestyle took centre stage again. Throughout the day the event site gradually began to get busier and busier as everyone prepared to celebrate the start of their Bank Holiday weekend in style. Tow-in Qualification Heat 1 The first qualification heat of the day saw six-time PWA Freestyle World Champion - Jose ‘Gollito’ Estredo (Fanatic / North / MFC) - qualify in style for the final as he stomped an amazing flaka-shaka-flaka. Also joining the Venezuelan in the final will be Taty Frans (Starboard / GA Sails / Mystic) and Julien Mas (JP / Avanti) - both of whom advanced with triple air funnels. Heat 2 Davy Scheffers (Tabou / GA Sails) qualified in top spot from the final qualifying heat in front of a packed out evening crowd. The Dutchman flew threw a super clean double air funnel to advance ahead of Kiri Thode (Starboard / GA Sails), who also qualified with a double air funnel. Adam Sims (Patrik / Sailloft Hamburg / Flymount) grabbed the final qualifying place as he showed a refreshingly different approach by abandoning the air funnel and popping a double spock. Lucky Loser Antoine Albert (Tabou / GA Sails) also qualifies for the Chiemsee Tow-in Final as the lucky loser. The New Caledonian was another sailor to completely mix things up as he rotated through a full switch kono and his risky tactics deservedly paid off. Tomorrow looks promising with moderate to strong north-westerly winds being predicted from 11am onwards. However, to ensure that no competable wind is missed the skippers’ meeting will be held at 8am with the action commencing from 8:30am - if conditions are suitable.
