On the third day of the event a light wind freestyle competition was scheduled. Around noon both teams were ready to play while at the same time, a workshop about environment and nature organized by the “surf rider foundation” was taking place for some of the local school kids who were also very excited to see the pro windsurfers spinning their gear in the light wind battles.
