Day four from the Think Blue Kitesurf World Cup in St Peter-Ording, Germany, brought a variety of action from both the slalom fleet and the freestyle riders. In choppy conditions and light wind, one round of slalom was run and both the men’s and women’s freestyle trials continued stopping shy due to dying winds - leaving only four heats to remain until completion.

Arriving to the beach it was clear that the calmness from the evening prior had lingered throughout the night. A glassy sheen on the North Sea greeted the riders as they arrived for the 10:30 meeting at the event site. Without notice, the wind suddenly turned on as if a switch was flipped, and riders swiftly prepared their equipment in anticipation of a competition day.
