Early in the morning the whole event, including riders, race crew, fans and the team for the live-stream left the Wildwind Club Vassiliki in direction north, where the Milos Beach Club should become the playground for the European Freestyle Pro Tour. The weather forecast said sunshine and temperatures about 34°C. Usually this is a good sign for the thermal winds of Lefkada, but today there was maybe too much humidity in the air for sailable conditions. Soon after the skippers meeting at 1pm a few riders went on the water with 5.7sqm. In the gusts they could, supported by the choppy water, stick a few nice tricks, but on average it was just not enough to start a second single elimination.
Riders spent their unwanted day off sitting together at the beach, playing around or just relaxing in the sun. Tom Hartmann, the EFPT race director, kept postponing the first possible start, having 7pm as the last possible in his mind. A few minutes before 7, the Corona Girls were already dancing on tables, the wind came back. Antony Ruenes was the first one heading out with 5.2sqm. The French could get some good gusts, and so the race crew decided to give it a try. The first heat was Adrian Beholz (F2) against Jamie Drummond (Fanatic). The blond German and his British opponent pumped hard in their heat, but also after 2 minutes extension time, the judges could not write down enough moves on their papers. At 7.30pm Greek time the race organisation called it a day.
The Skippers meeting for tomorrow is again scheduled at 1pm. The weather forecast looks good for the last day of the Milos Beach Lefkada Vassiliki Festival.
