Forecast looks good, glad I didn't get the call up, my worst nightmare. Maybe use this thread to post any pics, videos from this epic event that pop up around the place. Go Jaeger.

Wrong year... current video and photos are here:

You are right. For some reason when I clicked on the link on my phone it showed a completely different video to when I looked at it on my computer.

pretty epic conditions regardless.

Big congrats Jaeger, epic performance, in epic condition, exceptional competition. This race must remain in the history of our sport.

wave size loos like main break at lano on monday afternoon. Main break south would have been bigger..

^^^ yup and thats why main break at Lano has more euros that Europe

I don't think many of the sailors were complaining about the wave size at this event - it was more the fact that the wind was blowing fifty knots and that a 3.0 rig felt too big.
And the thing for me was the windchill and cold - even hoods and gloves can't prepare you for getting rinsed in air temperatures less than 5 degrees C. How can the body function? This is the opposite from sailing in boardies at Hookipa.
As a Euro, I'm shocked and amazed that Jaeger won - he's not the heaviest sailor, but this was also the first time he'd seen snow.
You Aussies need to look after that guy because he's in danger of becoming a bit of a legend.

Did you see the summary video?
