Strong offshore wind at Sotavento

2 days ago we arrived in Sotavento again after we had a great week on Gran Canaria. I finished in 32nd position at Pozo Izquierdo. The result does not make me happy, but I felt much better than the result looks like. It was the first time I could speed up in the heavy chop. In the PWA Slalom overall ranking I dropped from the 19th to the 24th  position.

Here at Sotavento the windmachine is on for days. I had some overpower sessions on 86 and 6,2, but estimate that the wind will drop a bit while the next days. You can´t belive how strong the gusts were, which arrived from the sandy hills.

Within 3 days the registration for the this year´s slalom showdown will be. I really expect to get some solid races done. I really have to try to start more accurate and get a good first jibe done.

Keep you updated,

Chris
