18:40 | Never let it be said it does not blow in santa pola!
Apart from the start of race 6 for men - todays races were held in 25>30knots. The onshore direction ensured conditions challenged even the most experienced riders. Tomorrows forecast promises to offer good racing, perhaps not so close to the limit as today.
21:31 | correction - a change in 3rd position overall. A great win today for Agnieszka Pietrasik, POL19, moves her into a podium position.
18:55 | After only one race today, for women, there is no change in the overall positions.
Top 3 remain - POL111, AUS911, and FRA59. For the first day since we arrived the wind did not really materialise. The forecast looks promising for tomorrow - we hope to get back on schedule with the race programme.
18:47 | There is another storm approaching - the day started with a storm and ends with a storm; and in between plenty of drama on the race course, especially for the mens fleet. Come back soon to check provisional results after 5 races
19:16 | We were unlucky not to get a third race today and validate the championship on the first day. However this was definately a masterful display from reigning world champion , Wojtek Brzozowski, POL10- two bullets in convincing style. For sure he is not going to relinquish the title easily. In the womens fleet a win each for Marta Hlavaty (POL111) and Allison Shreeve (AUS911)
16:23 | Tonight there will be a prize giving at the beach for the Spanish Championships ; followed by an opening ceremony for the Worlds.
22:43 | live reports will start to flow from tomorrow morning. Although it is registration day for the Worlds , it is also the final racing day of the spanish championships. The organisers have done a fantastic job creating an event village - great facilities for the competitors; a viewing stand for spectators to watch the action, right at the shoreline; commentary from the control tower & live transmission to a big screen on the main stage. Lots of background activity to keep the public interested.
