PKRA - Day 5 - Fog for the racers and meetings

Foggy weather welcomed the racers to this fifth day in St Peter Ording. Rolf Van Der Vlugt (NED, Airush) commented that he could barely see the buoys on the water whilst racing, “I had to really focus in order to maintain balance on my board instead of looking for the buoys!"

The first race started with an impressive crash, Dirk Hanel (GER, North) came too close to the starting line before the flag was raised which forced him to fall close to the boat committee. The rest of the riders quickly got away from the compressed fleet and the leaders quickly pushed to the front of the pack.
