WPC day 3

The weather was playing with us again today there went one load up at 12 o clock and then we went on weather hold again. At about 16:30 the organizers decided to send all loads up and just take the re jumps necessary if the wind was too much.

The wind was about 5,5 to 7,5 as a crosswind in the beginning and everybody on the last rounds was hoping for a little downwind for the distance. BUT that didn't happen instead the wind changed to 45 degree crosswind Headwind so there was a lot landing in the water on the last rounds. I only made 53 m. so the overall result is starting to look very bad for my perspective think I am around 60.

The biggest Mistake someone made yesterday was one of the Russian guys that already have made 3 very dangerous landings and already had a yellow card for that during training. He had a petty good distance score 73 m taking the weather into consideration but the wind was higher than 7 m so the judges asked if he wanted a re jump. I think there was 3-4 people telling him NOT to do the re jump but the Russian wanted a free jump and when he landed he was very hot on the gate. and was dragging water through the entry gate and got a ZERO for that round...
