		The 2006 Colgate PWA World Cup, Sylt After a short break to recover from the Canarian tour leg, and the Slalom World Cup in Turkey, the PWA fleets preparing for one of the biggest events on the calendar at Sylt, Germany. Here on the Island of Westerland it has traditionally been the all-rounders that excel, as the widest range of conditions continually test the best, with the North Sea beaches regularly serving up a variety of conditions, from flat calm to storm force winds. From sept 22nd through oct 1st, the regular annual crowds of up to 100,000 are set to show up and see the worlds elite of windsurfing in action, often willing to brave all weathers to meet their heroes. This end of season atmosphere has seen some of the greatest rivalries in windsurfings history settled. This time round Sylt sees a new discipline, with the finale of the mens Freestyle competition to be fought. Throw in the decider of the mens Slalom 42 tour, and mix in full on wave action as both the mens and womens title races hot up, and you have a recipe for the one of most spectacular finishes to a season ever! The womens wave fleet is led by Daida Moreno (E-64 Mistral / North), followed by her ever-present rivals Karin Jaggi (Z-14 F2 / North), and twin sister Iballa Moreno (E-63, Mistral / North). The odds are spread evenly at this event as the conditions can vary so much, and the famously gnarly shore break is the biggest leveler of them all, and has regularly prevented riders from making it out to their heats.
