KTE Silvaplana

Back from Switzerland , where we had lot of fun playing volley ball, walking in mountains, watching football with all our friends from Netherlandsand Germany..

For the Kitesurf competition it wasn’t so fun … Wind was really difficult to catch , and weather changed every hours … In theses conditions , KTE ‘s organisation had some problems , and made some mistakes and took bad choice … For example , wah had 4 hours of wind on friday and when they finished Single elimination in frestyle , they decided to continue with the second , instead of switch to the race … Then they decided to not compete on the Saturday when winds arrived at 6 Pm !!! ? to late ?!!! Why was it possible to wake up at 5am in Netherlands to compete , and impossible to compete at 6 pm in switzerland ????
The last chance was on Sunday , but at the end of the competition, there was still no wind … Most of the riders had already packed theirs stuffs , when the organisation try to avoid the worst …They started a race under the storm at 3 o clock , one hour after the official end of the competition his day it was possibleto finish later !!? … 7 th guys finished the course . Many of others were not on the water , or did’nt manage to finish … For my part i was already in the car , on my way to Paris to take my plane for Tanzania … i finished 8th without going in water … So bad
