Day 3 saw wind during the morning hours from eastern direction again and the EFPT crew decided to continue with another single elimination for the men. The wind conditions were suitable and 10 heats got completed. The top ranked riders of the first double elimination all qualified for the top 16 and the top four riders of the overall EFPT tour ranking are still in this single elimination. Just 9 heats are missing to complete the second single, what can bring a change in the event result and the overall ranking. The first ladies heat got started as well, but had to be cancelled due to the light wind conditions.

The wind dropped around 11.00 am, but there is a chance to see a comeback of the wind during the weekend. Next skippers meeting for the windsurfing discipline is scheduled for 9.00 am on Saturday and a first possible start at 9.30 am.

29 riders registered for the tow-in event at 2.00 pm. The first tow-in qualification round started at 3.00 pm, what was a great start into the weekend. 2 more qualifications followed and the qualification was over around 5.30 pm. We saw a few great double and triple moves. Adam Sims won the qualifying round and a few other riders put a great show on the water. The top 10 ranked rider qualified for the final. We will see the tow-in final on Saturday.
