On the 4th day of the competition everybody chilled and relaxed. The wind was offshore and it was impossible to do racing or to go out for training. I had to move to another hotel so it got not too boring.

The 3rd day was the day of the Doubleelemination. I was waiting for my opponent really long becouse the double startet in a man on man format. After three hours of waiting I pumped up my gear and checked, if everything is allright. I went out to test the conditions and it felt good.

Back on the beach I saw that Mark Jakobs made it into my heat. He had a good day and I knew that it won’t be easy to beat him. Marc is an unpredictable rider and you never know, what comes next. Sometimes he has crashes the whole heat and sometimes he rides like the hell…  I had a good heat and showed some nice tricks. Unfortunately at the end it was not enough. In a close decision ( 3:2) the juges gave the win to Mark. I was a little bit disapointed but I can life with this desicion. I got 9th and that’s not bad for the first event of the year. I hope that I can improve and do better in one of the next events.
