Big Bay Wave Classic-Klaas Voget 2nd!

2009/01/12

Fanatic´s Klaas Voget finished 2nd in the Big Bay Wave Classic in Capetown!

The main event venue Big Bay proved its qualities as a great wavesailing spot. The top guys, who advanced in the single elimination at Witsands, fought it out in the afternoon. Wind with gusts about 30 knots and more than 3m big sets made crazy airmoves and long waverides possible.

In the final it was really close. Klaas was strong in waveriding, but Phil could stick a double forward and convinced the judges, who decided by 2:1 for the British sailor.

Congratulations Klaas!
