The first ever Awaza PWA World Cup Turkmenistan proved to be a tricky, and sometimes frustrating affair, as light and shifty winds unfortunately interrupted the regular thermal winds which usually frequent Awaza. J

After four days of tough competition, the 2014 RS:X European Windsurfing Championship & Open Trophy was all about the double-points Medal Race today.

The International Star Class World Championship was decided in dramatic style on the last leg of the last race, Robert Stanjek and Frithjof Kleen (GER) held on in a nervy final race to become the first German champions for seventeen years.

Swedish fans turned out in their thousands to cheer on defending champion, Bjorn Hansen on the way to claiming a third consecutive victory at the Stena Match Cup Sweden final, on this occasion against Ian Williams (GBR) and his GAC Pindar crew.

The waiting game continued on the penultimate day of the Awaza PWA World Cup.

On 4 July, American team Augie Diaz with crew Arnis Baltins in USA 8465 had more to celebrate than their American holiday: Independence Day at the Star Worlds.

Three medals were secured with a day to spare at the 470 Junior World Championships in advance of the final day so the Medal Race was all about who would claim bronze in the Women and Silver and Bronze medals in the Men/Mixed events.

Stena Match Cup Sweden was two flights into its Semi-Finals stage at the close of play on the penultimate day of racing and in both matches it remains tied on 1-1.
