Storm and huge waves for the first day of Danish Open Windsurf Wave/Freestyle Championship 2023 week 42.

After a quick registration at Surf Club NASA, the whole circus moved to Fiskemel in Hansholm for a skipper meeting and an eye-opener for many, because there was really a lot of action in the stormy gale up to 27 m/s, huge waves on the outside and well-shaped on the inside. A wave started, everyone else was exempted for the rest of the day. Most sailors were on their smallest equipment, that is 3.0 and 3.4 🙂 But they fought well in the sometimes unstable wind. In the third round, there were many familiar faces, and the biggest surprises were probably that Henri Kolberg knocked out Liam Dunkerbeck and moved on to the quarterfinals, Kenneth Danielsen also moved on with a victory over Anton Richter, and Tobias Bjørnaa took the win against Bjørnå Senior, who then had to admit defeat by 0.5 points and cash in his lowest ranking outside the top 4 in the last 20 years. The youth must come to 🙂 The last man on was Leon Jamaer, who beat a well-sailing Simon Thule. Semifinals and finals were right on and hard with a super show, where they showed fine wave rides and high impressive jumps. The top ranking after round 1 was:

1. Leon Jamaer

2. Kenneth Danielsen

3. Tobias Bjørnaa

4. Henri Kolberg

Thanks for a great first day, we are back tomorrow with another fantastic weather forecast. We hope to move on in round 2 of A wave, but maybe start on B wave, ladies and freestyle.

Day 2.

Now with more moderate wind, only around 40 knots 🙂 But blue sky and good waves rolling in on the beach in Fiskemel and with a good dose of action.

Wave B-fleet was on the program, and they sailed 1 round in good conditions with fine heats and fun on the water.

1. Gaebgen Gerry

2. Emil Skov Nielsen

4. Jörg Bubelach

Day 3. Rest day

Day 4.
Side-on wind and waves around 2m were on the menu for the women, with 10 to 12 m/s and sunshine, but fading fast. In the first heat, Sol Degrieck passed Runa Krubbenhöft and Sol faced Caroline Weber, passing by a small margin and made it to the final. On the other side, Sybille Bode met Stine Bøttern, both having a hard heat but Stine showcasing some of the better wave riding, making it to the final with Sol. In the small final with fading light and nice sailing, Caroline Weber took 3rd place. In the final, we saw good action and a first place to Sol.
