Lanzarote: Karin-Daida, but more to come...  Mast high waves and high winds welcomed the competitors at the new (but former) PWA freestyle tour stop on the Canarian island of Lanzarote. 11 windgirls made up a respectable fleet,including "everygreen" professionals and new blood at the same time.
The level once again has improved tremendously and the top girls were all showing loops, volcans & spocks and a variation of jumps and transitions very safely. Top scoring moves were clew first spocks, grubbies, table-top-forwards, one handed loops and even double loops. Unfortunately Iballa Ruano Moreno went down hard failing to land a double and once again in her career got injured. (all the best from here). The battles were tough, althought the finals turned out to be a well known revival of the popular Karin Jaggi versus Daida Ruano story, with Daida having the edge over the Swiss at the end. Very promising were radical Spanish sailors Silvia Alba Orozco (4.) and Nayra Alonso (3.), who turned out to be an essential improvement to the tour. Ania Ostrovska from Poland, one of the smallest sailors ever :-), proved that radical attitude and killer loops are just no question of body strength. After all a great event and a promise for the upcoming tour stops this year. windgirls.com magazine will keep you updated.
