The race

Sean Rice won as he wanted and I came 3rd. Fredrik Ness, the local guy came 2nd. It was difficult conditions, not because it was crazy big, but a lot of return waves from shore. I went together with Sean the first 2k, but as soon as we hit the open ocean he went away from me. Just before the turning point a thunder storm came out of nowhere, and the lightning struck everywhere. I decided to go to shore and wait until it was safe again. I waited around 20min before I went out again and the coastguard sendt their rib to pick me up, no need for that when the lightning was gone. While I was on land I could see the lightning struck into the sea, it was crazy. I had a good race in the downwind and felt rested after my tour on land. The prize money were 3000, 1500, 1000 Euro for 1,2,3 both men and women. It was a good organized event and I will get back next year. My Nelo ski was perfect and Fredrik used the Nelo Vintage Ski. It was his first time in a ski and he liked the Nelo. I’ll post some pictures later, now I have to drive 20h to get home. Picture from prize giving ceremony.
