SINGLE ELIMINATIONDay 1 belonged to Yentel Caers who was able to win his first ever PWA single elimination. He sailed at his best for all of the day beating Beholz, Ruenes, Akgazciyan, Soltysiak and his team mate Amado Vrieswijk. Pressure? Stress? Nervousness? BEL-16 seemed uneffected and thus really deserved to this victory!

The Yentel show!

DOUBLE ELIMINATIONDay 2 was the day of Amado Vrieswijk: like in the single elimination Amado beat the 6-times Freestyle World Champing Estredo. And with this confidence boost he sailed excellent right from the beginning of the final against Yentel, while Yentel could not display the sovereignty of the previous day. So, NB-20 continued to pull-off more and more maneuvers, take the lead and never gave it back! The same happened in the Super Final and so, Amado was able to take his first ever victory of a PWA double elimination.

Amado’s day!

Steven Van Broeckhoven seemed to be extremely nervous and never managed to show his full potential in the first elimination. He now is desperate to improve in the next round…
