Tough Times in the Pool  
Daida - one hand spock, the 'indoor girls' - all photos: Carter/PWA Everybody who has been watching the PWA Indoor London windsurfing championships, might have come to two conclusions: 1. sailing in a small pool in 'artificial' winds is hard. Very hard. Even if you are a pro windsurfer. But congratulations to everybody being ready and willing to fall even for a jibe. Or to crash badly for a simple jump on the ramp. 2. Nevertheless the PWA is right in saying that the event 'has taken indoor windsurfing to new levels of excellence'. Air Chachoos and sick planing push/backloops (Daida almost managed to land one of them) are just incredible action on a - as a matter of fact - VERY small pool.  
Nayra flys indoor, Iballa sliding at FULL speed slalom: Daida Moreno (North, Mistral) comfortably took first place winning all three races after a close fought battle with her sister Iballa. Karin Jaggi (F2, Arrows) and Lucy Horwood (North, Fanatic) tied for fourth place after three rounds of racing. jumping: Iballa Moreno (Mistral, North) was on fire tonight nailing huge forward loops and tabletops to clinch victory from her sister Daida. Despite a nasty cold hindering her performance this week Karin Jaggi battled hard to take third. freestyle: Daida Moreno won the freestyle with an impressive display of power and control closely followed by her sister Iballa with Nayra Alonso (Fanatic) hot on her heels in third.
