On the day of the competition Ilmataat (aka “Weatherdaddy”) blessed Ristna, the western most tip of Hiiumaa, with 10-14ms side shore winds and waves up to 2 meters. During the 5h of competition 27 heats were run in both single and double eliminations. The duration of the heat was 10 minutes during which the waves and jumps of the competitors were judged. Two waves and one jump were taken into account when giving points and as always in competitions, some of the heats were really close and less than a point separated the competitors.
