Another two rounds of speed sailing have been completed today in epic conditions. Antoine Albeau (FRA, Starboard) and Karin Jaggi (SUI, F2, North) are now leading the overall ranking after six rounds and one discard.
The day started already windy, and all sailors were aware of what would follow. The first start was scheduled for 11:00 then, and the 63 competitors were off on the water.

Another sunny day on Sotavento Beach, Fuerteventura. The wind only came up a little bit in the evening, so the riders were released in the afternoon already. The forecast for the upcoming final three days of the 2008 Speed Windsurfing World Championship is very good, so the race committee decided not to start in marginal conditions.

The wind did not meet suitable conditions during the whole day, so we called the race off at 14:30 to allow the riders some rest after yesterdays tough conditions. A good decision, as the wind completely died afterwards and even shifted to onshore for a few minutes.
Hopefully we do not get the "Calima" easterly wind, with hot air blown over from the sahara. The forecast looks pretty excellent for the rest of the week, so we are sure to get some more good rounds in.
