Here’s some news from the annual “Soul Wave” contest in Klitmoeller, where
all the best German, Danish and other nationalities battle it
out.  Yesterday on the first contest day, we got off with a spectacular
start as ex- hurricane “Frances” had moved in with extremely strong
winds.  With gust of 10 Beaufort, it was clear that only one sail had to
be rigged, the smallest you had! In some of the most challenging
conditions I have ever competed in, I was stoked to reach the 4 man
finale.  Where after a good heat I got 2nd place behind German Andy Wolf,
which got the victory in a tight 2-1 judge decision.

Here’s are the results after the first day:

1. Andy Wolf   Graastra/RRD
2. Lars Petersen   Neil Pryde/JP
3. Robert Sand   Simmer/Fanatic
4. Stefan Gobich   Naish/Naish

Today the competitor field will be even further “reinforced” by Spanish
sailor arriving including, maybe the worlds best jumper Jonas
Cabellos.  With a great forecast for the coming days there is for sure
more action coming up here in Klitmoeller.
