First rounds and some surprises   Above: Kauli Seadi Backloop. Credits Klaas Voget. Hookipa event site. Credits to John Carter. Big surprise on the first day of the Hawaii Pro at Hookipa both in the mens and womens fleets! Nori Hubbs kicks out Daida Ruano Moreno at an early stage and the Argentinian Mariano Estivill beats Nik Baker with a double loop! Another unexpected result is: Sean Ordonez, winning the trials the day before, is out. Tradewinds steadily blowing around 20-25 knots and up to masthigh sets made it possible to get close to a result on the very first day. At 10.30 am the first heat was started, finishing off the men s first round to then do the first women s round. The field of female competitors is surprisingy biging: 15 girls have entered and are ready to face the sometimes gnarly waves here on Hookipa Beach. Uli Hoelzl, the only female competitor from Austria, didnt have to pass the first round due to her results from last year, but she had to go after the second round because of a lack of training opportunities on starboard tack. The forecast is not too good for the next two days, but as soon as the the wind is back, we will see some interesting heats, especially the battle between Karin Jaggi and local Jennifer Henderson and the heat "Kevin Pritchard vs. Matt Pritchard" are going to be thrilling!!!   First round girls; waveriding: japanese sailor Sato Motoko. posted by Anonymous at 3/31/2004 07:36:00 PM |
