Many windsurfers know Liepaja already from past years; two World Championships, one in Formula and one in Raceboard classes and two European Formula Windsurfing Championships took place in white sand beach in city Liepaja, Baltic Sea. Weather forecast was challenging, however “City Liepaja, where the wind is born!” offered one of the best wind conditions windsurfers could have for all classes. In three days, eight races were sailed for Formula class, ten races for Kite race class, eight race for Bic Techno class and ten races for RS:X and Raceboard class. Overall the event was great success! Many thanks to experienced race officer Janis Jekabsons and his team; Arnis Krauklis, who managed perfect work on the water making starts, setting and changing race courses during the days; great work of protest committee lead by Alberts Rozins and finally, Juris Vasioleks from Extermesports, who managed to organise his 14th Baltic Cup event!
