Such a intens day started of straight on arrival we didn't even had time for skippers. The water was like a carpet and the first run directly 48,7 withouth much wind so i was superstoked because this is what i needed. Only the wind had to be strong when i noticed the direction was swinging i waited for the moment but the wind died. When it came back the direction was superbroad again. So we just decided to go for it and hope to catch a good angleswing on the course. Second run had exactly a spin  out like yesterday but could just pull it back and push myself up again. Tried to get my confidence back what a struggle. So after a few runs took my 4,9 to have a little more controle it accelerated like mad but could not keep the power at the second part like everybody except Vinnie wel done hats off for that 53. Switched back to 5,3 again but just could not find that moment. Could have been a worldrecord day for sure if just the wind had just turned a little more east it was strong enough. Happy everybody is going home in one piece because the chop was nasty. Well done Heidi with wrecking Zara's WR and Melek with the German record and Oisin with the Irish record almost 50knots in his weightclass is outstanding 

And a big shoutout to all my sponsors for giving me the opportunity to chase my dream of breaking the world record here in Luderitz and keeping the faith in me. ??
