We came afternoon but we went to the water because there was light 24 hours so if you wanted to go to the water at midnight no problem. Thursday and Friday were competitions in boater cross and team race. We did not compete because we did not have a creek boat but we cheers for our friends Ingrid and Deb (both from wave sport team) and they did it very well. Ingrid 1st place and Deb 3th place in boater cross. Saturday was a freestyle competition.

Final was big fight! Every one of us wanted to win. We had three rides and with every ride positions were changed. My last ride witch I finished with nice Felix was very good but Debs ride with big air blunts was better.
