Crozon Morgat PWA Tag 6

Ricardo Campello holt knappen Sieg über Dieter Van der Eyken im Tow-in Finale.


Tow-in stand heute erneut im Mittelpunkt, heute wurde das Finale zwischen den gestern ermittelten sechs Finalteilnehmern ausgetragen. Der Wind legte am Nachmittag leicht zu, allerdings haben sich die Wellen nicht so weit verbessert, um den Beginn des Hauptwettbewerbs zu ermöglichen. Ricardo Campello (Patrik / Point-7 / MFC) exploded into action on his first run to earn perfect 10s from the judges with a radical air burner 360 to instantly apply the pressure to the rest of the fleet.  Dieter Van der Eyken (Starboard / Severne) proved to be Campello’s closest challenger, but in end he couldn’t quite do enough to force a super final. The 2015 PWA Freestyle World Champion saved his best effort until the last, landing a perfectly executed burner 360, which earned him 29 points out of a possible 30.  The Belgian wasn’t happy with the decision to begin with, but upon watching the replay acknowledged that the correct decision had been made. Marc Paré (99NoveNove / Simmer / Maui Ultra Fins) completed the podium with a smooth ponch to earn the young Spaniard 19.5 points. Tomorrow is the final day of the Crozon Morgat PWA World Cup and there is still a small possibility of the conditions being suitable for the contest. A new swell is expected to hit Crozon’s shores tomorrow and winds of up to 18 knots are currently being predicted. With a bit of luck this will hopefully result in an action packed last day. An announcement will be made to the sailors at 8:30am with the action commencing from 9:30am — if conditions allow.
