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 Worlds summary

The last day

Sunday was the hardest racing day of my life. With the wind gusting up to 30 knots and the sea state best described as – boiling (2.5m sea swell + many different directions of wind chop), holding on to 10.7 was a challenge. Everybody who had 10 or 9.5 were using it - only me, Maciek POL 23, Nico GER 7 and Vincent GER 1 were on 11s. I have never seen so many catapults in races as I have seen on that day. Personally I was using the second chicken strap to have at least a tiny bit of control on the downwind run and I only felt once, - when I was standing in both FRONT footsraps – don’t even ask. By the end of the second race most of the guys in the fleet looked pretty much done. And that gave me a chance to rack up some better results. Even though I was on a bigger sail, due to my good physical conditioning I still had plenty of energy left for 3^rd and 4^th race of the day. So I focused up pushed through pain and discomfort of holding on to 10.7 on the upwind in 30 knots and finished 15^th and 17^th. These results allowed me to move into 23^rd spot in Overall ranking of the event.

Red Bull Storm Chase - 2013/2014

Hey guys! Long time no see! After the last post of Rytis with adorable surfers it’s my time to shine! And this week I just can’t stop myself from not writing about the latest event in the Windsurfing world that blows me away every-single-time. The event is called – Red Bull Storm Chase.

FW JYM Worlds Day 1

Today there were no races completed. Although the race officer got us out on the water and gave 2 starts for the youth fleet. However, the wind was too light and not stable enough for proper racing.
I am feeling really well in these flat water light wind conditions. So we will see how it goes tommorow.

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.
