    Best option: hold it in January/February, so I can stay home for Christmas, after enjoying Christmas, then head to Cape Town and enjoy the beach for a great start of the year!

    I was there, and although I am not a foiler, Brodel absolutely crushed it. It was really surprising that he didn’t get a huge score. He went by far the highest, and had aggressive kite angles. Seemed as if the judges just didn’t favor him.

    Option 5. There will be wind on Sunday after all! )))

      Yes !! Very very luckily! But my video does not make a lot of sense anymore 😝

    Option 4: Since every rider had at least 1 heat, everyone has a score, and they could make a rank with those scores. In this case Jamie would win. They often do the same in freestyle skiing competitions when the conditions do not allow a final.

      @@kitegoofy The main problem with this is that some riders could argue that they took 2nd place on purpose to have a battle in round 2 and have an opponent thats easier to defeat. So it would be controversial for sure.
      I wouldn’t say this outcome is likely but it is a possibility for sure.

      Main issue here is each heat is on a different scale. You could have 6 people in equal 1st place, but can't compare scores across heats.

      Moreover the riders weren't at 100% for their first heat. We want to watch them going super big in the last rounds

      @@tothgele This is a problem only until someone asks you to give a specific example of such a rider. Let's look at the tournament table and try to give an example. Can we? )))

    The on thing everyone is forgetting about "just running it in Jan" is that there is a massive stage, road closures, government permits, security, sanitation, etc. All of this stuff needs to be planned, organised and executed to have the event. They cant just all pitch up to the beach and go for a kite - there is a lot of work involved. I dont think this competition is big enough in terms of viewership to warrant red bull spending more cash on it.
    But hopefully im wrong. Whoever they use as a meteorologist should be fired though - they could just ask a local to check windguru and they would have a much better idea of when the wind will blow.

    • @kitegoofy
      @kitegoofy  22 дні тому

      No I think you are pretty spot on! That’s exactly the reason why they won’t be able to run it longer unfortunately:(
      I think it is just bad bad luck to be honest :(

      Back in the days they said, that the wind will be more dense in November ! That’s why they change to that time of the year :)

    Why they dont just go on foil kites with foil boards? Its all about the most versatile rider so let them show off in light wind! They would still go massive.
