Baltic Cup Liepaja

Aloha,

last weekend I participated in the last event of 2015 Baltic Cup in Latvia, Liepaja. In 3 days we had 8 races in total in challenging to very challenging, to crazy conditions.

On the first day we had an 18-22 knots straight onshore wind with waves up to 2,5m. The judges decided to wait a bit for the waves to go down and only gave a start in the afternoon when the swell was only up to 2m out in the sea. I was going quite fast on my 10.7 and later 11.5, but I just kept on messing up the start terribly. Therefore, I finished 10th, 8th and 11th. I was super disappointed by my performance as I knew I could have done way better. 

Latvian SL Championship

Aloha,

Last weekend I took part in Latvian Slalom championship in Liepaja. We did 3 full eliminations in the wind of 14 to 20 knots. I was using 8.6 Severne Reflex 6 and SB iSonic 130 for all races. There were a total of 41 sailors in the fleet. I took 2nd place in all of the races which granted me a 2nd overall. Janis Preiss was super fast and consistent today and there was nothing I could do against him (for now :) )

Super nice racing in general, and I am very happy about my result too.

FW Europeans summary

Third year in a row Latvia we have a major FW event and third year in a row I can say that the event was really successful. This year we had 15 races overall - the maximum.
The organisation was really nice. We had a huge tent on the beach where we could hide from rain showers, chill on sitting bags or leave the equipment. We also had lunch provided, although the portions were really small (had to eat 3 to be half full :) , and the quality of the food wasn't always perfect.
