    The last and conclusive stage of Burusports Baltic freestyle cup took place in Riga, Ķīšezers lake on Saturday 11th of June.
    The forecast was solid for competition day and in reality the wind was even stronger. The wind build up as day proceed and riders switched the sails from 5.2 to 4.4 in the end.
    Unfortunately rain and low temperatures didn’t attract to many supporters on the coast. Despite the June air temperatures were only 11 degrees.
    About the competition format: heats were judged by one constant main judge and 2 judges from riders.
    Organisers was doing all to attack as many competitors as possible but unfortunately either there are no freestylers, or despite other factors, only 4 riders from 2 Baltic countries applied for the event.
    As wind was gusty main judge decided to give long heats of 15 minutes duration. PWA level rider Tony Motus  EST-21 was on fire and landed such repertoire of explosive tricks as skopu, kono’s, culo’s both tacks, burners one handed into funnel.
    So deserved first place in single elimination and as he continued the same explosion in double, nobody was able to stop him from taking Latvian stage title.
    Second place went to Latvian rider Jevgeņijs Gavrilovs- LAT161,who secured himself overall title of Burusports Baltic Freestyle cup.
    The closest heat during event were between Maris Minkevics LAT1661 and Ain Harmson EST0. The level of riders were equal , the tricks similar, so the judges decided to organise resail of their heat in double elimination! And it was Ain Harmson who took the victory by small advantage and secured his stable 3rd place.
    The atmosphere during event was great. Windsurfing club 360 took care about the riders to stay warm and welcomed in their comfortable club’s building with sauna. Cabo cafe suppied with delicious lunch!!
    BURUSPORTS Baltic Frestyle Cup done! And overall results is following:
    1. Jevgenijs Gavrilovs LAT-161 ( 1st EST event, 1st LT event, 2nd LV event)
    2. Ain Harmson EST-0 ( 3rd EST event, 3rd LV event)
    3. Maris Minkevics LAT-1661 ( 4th LT event, 4th LV event)
    Congratulations to all the riders for they effort!
     And enormous thanks to our sponsors who trusted in idea and supported us despite all difficulties in organization!!!

    2014 year is slowly coming to the end and we can resume our action and results.
    The plan for BBFC 2014 was to run 3 events : Estonia in June, Lithuanian event in July and conclusion in Latvia in august.
    Unfortunately the Wind God had not blessed us with proper conditions during planned months. BBFC crew put all our effort to run events anyway and first possibility was in September to run est event in Topu!!
    Est event was done and we have results and awesome video, you can check competition report in BBFC official page:
    bbfc2014.teamvosa.ee
    October was windy but was also busy with other windsurfing events so there weren’t any possibility to do Lithuanian event!
    For sure freestyle is all about fun and spectacular show so now it’s not irrationally to try finish events in such air temperatures because the feedback from the event what we want to expect will not be reachable! That’s why BBFC crew came to the decision to postpone rest 2 events to the 2015 may-June! Everything is still ready for events and we are looking forward to your support and hope that together we will reach settled goal!
    Our crew sincerely wish you Merry Christmas and happy and hopefully W I N D Y new year!!!

    And today starts PWA Bonaire – let`s check it !

    ” There are many windsurfers in the Baltics but not too many of them are doing freestyle. I think one of the reasons for that is that till now we didn´t have a proper tour.
    So when I heard about the Burusports Baltic Freestyle Cup, I was more than stoked. For me freestyle is the most spectacular part of windsurfing. To get into it, you have to start from somewhere. These events are exactly created to get more people hooked on it. With A and B league systems, the doors are open to everybody and the level doesn´t matter.

    Most important is to have fun and that´s what freestyle is about. Specially youngsters who have even a tiny little feeling, should come and take part of these events and forget their limits. You never know, maybe one of these comps could bring out a bright freestyle future and also all the experienced riders from the past should be there. I think in the end it´s about feeling reunited and making a rebirth to the freestyle scene. So, you better don´t miss it!!! “
