Last day of the competition!
2009-12-13

We are in
the last day of the competition. The wind isn’t cooperating with us at all. The
skippers meeting was at 9:00 and the wind wasn’t their yet. But we had to wait
round to see if it would somehow pick up and be enough to finish the semi
finals. So my heat today is against Tiger, And what I saw yesterday he was
killing it in his heat so this was not going to be any easy heats to come to
the final. So we wait around and the wind is slightly picking up and of course
they want results and the riders for sure don’t want to be riding in crap
conditions where you can barely lift your ass from the water. So anyways my
heat is up in 15 min and I already heard some rumors that my competitor isn’t
showing for the semi. Hmm I was like how can you miss out on that? And first I didn’t
really believe it because I have heard these stories before. But as they said,
he wasn’t showing up and I was kiting 7m for myself in the water. Quiet boring
but still not complaining to have a bye into the final J
Well
anyways after this heat. It was time for the next semi final with Peter and
Jessie. The heat was close but I would still give it to Peter he was doing more
tricks and harder. But anyways the heat got canceled in the last 30 seconds.
Wow sometimes I wonder what they think I mean if you cancel a heat maybe it should
be done in the middle of the heat not last seconds I mean you work 100% and
after the full heat you are so tired. Anyways the decision is the race
directors and we have to respect that. So after a while the wind is going more
and more down. And it seems like we will not get anymore wind for the day and
what will happen then is that all 4 left of us in the semi will end up as 1st
places. I really wanted the wind to pick up I was in the final alreadyJ but without wind they would not
count it and there will be 4 winners. So I really wanted the wind to come but
it didn’t look good at all. So I went back to the hotel room changed and went
to eat some lunch with Peter. And just when we were about to get our pizzas
they decided that they will start it in 15min. And then it was fast back to the
room, and on with the cold wet suite.
And when I came
back down the heat was already going with Peter and Jessie. And next heat was
girls final I think and then it was men’s final. Well the heat got canceled
again. And next up was girls final. So they could rest for another try. And the
wind dropped again. And we were waiting around for a bit and suddenly the sun
started to show up and the clouds where disappearing. And out of nowhere the
wind started to blow up and we had enough wind to finally start the heat again.
And so after the heat was done I was pretty shore Peter had it and most on the
beach had the same opinion as me. He was doing switch tricks and also more powered.
But it didn’t help Jessie won the heat and it was time for the final. I was
hoping to meat Peter in this final we have always been talking about meeting up
in the final and this time it was closer than ever. But didn’t happen he got
kicked out one heat before and finished 3rd. So now it was the last final
of the year. It felt really good to make it all the way to the final and I now I
had to give it 100%. So we are out there in the water the green flag goes up
and I am far out next to the outer buy, I start with my first trick landing it
good and seconds after I do another one and a 3rd one and now I’m
really close to the beach and I feel I have time for another one so I went for
it again and stuck it. So I had already 4 tricks in one tack. It felt very good
but wow did I get tired after just 4 tricks hehe yes indeed. But I gave all I had in every trick and I could
feel it in the end of the heat I was starting to crash more and butt checking
the tricks more. But it felt well when I went to the beach if I lost now then I
would not be angry sins I knew I would not have kited any better I went out
again. So we both land the kites and we both have no idea of who is winning it
and then the race director comes up and he stands around for a while and asks
do you want to know the result now ? I’m like common just out with it haha J we don’t want to suffer any more.
So he said the winner iss iisss mmmm mmm mm ikke mmike. And I was so dam happy
and so relived. Felt like a huge bag just dropped from my back and the biggest
smile of course haha I cannot explain the great feeling but it is just so nice J
So I win my
second KPWT event this year. one in Tarifa and now in Morocco. It feels
great!!! And hopefully some new pictures will be uploaded from the event within
next days.
Ciao !!!
