PWA Netherlands World Cup: Day 1 Aruban Sarah-Quita Offringa & Quincy Offringa represent Aruba

PWA NETHERLANDS WORLD CUP

Day 1: Ruenes wins the opening heat of tow-in with light winds on the opening day

The opening day of the DAM7 PWA Netherlands World Cup witnessed light winds as the sailors registered between 10am and 11am. With the light winds on offer the majority of the competitors took the opportunity to prepare their equipment for the coming week, whilst at 3pm the first round of the tow-in contest was completed. Anthony Ruenes (Tabou / Gaastra), Nicolas Akgazciyan (Starboard / Point-7 / Maui Ultra Fins) and Taty Frans (Starboard / MauiSails / Mystic / Maui Ultra Fins) all successfully secured their place in the final, after landing a brilliant shaka flaka, a stylish clew-first flaka and a triple funnel diablo respectively. Youp Schmit (JP / NeilPryde) still has a chance of making the final too, as the lucky loser having finished in fourth place. 

Sarah-Quita Offringa commented : "AWOO tin kos! Perfect day with some sunshine. We didn't do competition today we did Freestyle tow in action it's like a show for the audience were they pull you by behind a jetski like wakeboarding & we do tricks. Really good crowd SICK SICK AHUM, action & big crashes. I was the only girl so it was a pretty exciting, I didn't make it to the next round but it was a good experience." 
Quincy Offringa commented: : OOH YEAH enjoying the cold water here in Holland!!! No competition due to lack of wind but we did get to do a tow-in session today. Stay tuned for the coming week."
