FIRST EVER WOMEN SUPER-X IN LANZAROTE The wind is picking up and we are ready for the third round of Super-X here in Costa Teguise on Lanzarote. Right now in leading position Karin Jaggi, whose speed training in France seems to translate well into the new discipline. On second and third, Iballa and Daida Ruano Moreno.  (Photo: H. Thalmann) Super-X had been discussed as an option for the female competitors in Sylt last year but it had remained unclear what moves it would include, as obviously spocks can only be done by a few riders only (yet!). The first tries now have seen the girls jumping over the first sausage, duckjibing around the first buoye, throwing a forward and jumping over the next sausage on the second leg, duckjibing around the second buoye, looping on the third leg and over the third sausage to reach the finish line. The 20 girls-fleet did much better than expected, and apart from the obligatory few going over the falls when their fins got stuck on the sausages, they handled the new discipline pretty well. All competitors appreciate Super-X as a discipline that is fun and thrilling at the same time, because you can actually race against the other without being dependent on judges. Apart from the usual suspects, Dutch Femke van der Walk, German-French Astrid Muldoon and Japanese Junko Nagoshi seem to have a talent for the speed-oriented course. Stay tuned on www.pwaworldtour and check windgirls waterworld for further results! posted by Anonymous at 7/12/2005 02:30:00 PM |
