EFPT Toshiba Freestyle Grand Prix in Sardinien

  • Zitat

    The wind picked up in the afternoon and the first newschool EFPT event of the 2009 season had been started.
    In Heat 1 Brazilian Souza de Pedro (RRD/Simmer) sailed against the local hero Lorioli (RRD/RRD) and Meir (Fanatic/Simmer) from Israel against Sardinian local Varrucciu (Naish/Naish). The Brazilian rider showed a solid heat and also the local Varrucciu (Naish/Naish) advanced over Meir (Fanatic/Simmer), who crashed a couple of his moves.
    Heat 2 showed only 2 riders on the water, because Paskowski (Fanatic/North) had no opponent in the first round and advanced automatically. Brasilian Teixeira (RRD/RRD) was facing Slovenian newcomer Zan Sude. Teixeira (RRD/RRD) showed a bigger variety of moves and made in into the next round.
    Heat 3 set the EFPT premiere for Team Estonia with Aava (Starboard) against Chico Bento (Fanatic/North) from Brazil and Greek rider Promponas (Fanatic/North) facing German young gun Lachauer (Starboard). Unfortunately the wind droped during the heat, which got resailed. Also on the second try got canceled. The fleet was kept on stand by for the rest of the afternoon, but the wind did not increase to sufficient force to run any more heats.
    So tomorrow skippers meeting is sheduled for 9.00. Locals say that anything can happen with the actual weater situation. Tonight there is a free riders dinner and party in the biggest disco of northern Sardinia.
