Swedish Supersession

Nina and Marie Edlund, 1st and 2nd of the Swedish Freestyle Championship/Supersession

Report by Marie Edlund Tjernberg: "The Swedish Championship in Freestyle arranged by Lommabuktens Windsurfings saellskap (LBWS) was to take place in Habo Ljung, Lomma, in the southern part of Sweden. But due to easterly winds the competition was moved to Klagshamn, which is a popular Freestyle spot, going off on every easterly wind direction. During spring and early summer, the wind is often increasing here due to the sea breeze. Along with the Freestyle competition, Wallen Sports had their F2 Speed Challenge Competition. On the first competition day there was lack of wind, and the competition had to be cancelled for the day.

Although there was no wind in Klagshamn, the forecast for the south coast, at the popular Wave spot "Gisloev", was showing 11-14 m/s and all sailors was excited to go there to get some wave sailing. At Gisloev, the point break was busy of windsurfers that have travelled from different part off Sweden and Denmark. However, it was great fun to get some sailing. Later that evening there was held a BBQ for all the competitors. And from which I have heard, there was dancing under the disco bowl late that night. The famous sea breeze started to take effect at Sunday afternoon, and the competition got started. Unfortunately the wind was super gusty and the final heats had to take place at a competition area a bit further out from land. The judges sat in a boat. Nevertheless, the sailors made impressive Freestyle moves.

As for the women, there were eight participants, of which five are World Cup sailors. Unfortunately the wind was too unsteady to run a ladder; instead they made a Super Session, in which the best manoeuvre is to win. While Marie Edlund Tjernberg S-6 tried to defend her Swedish Championship title with a grubby, her younger sister Nina Edlund Tjernberg S-165 showed off a full planning spock which gave her the gold medal."

And this is how Anna Joensson puts it: "Unfortunately it was not enough windy this weekend to have the competition. But we had a supersession for fun."
