Björn Dunkerbeck dominiert zum Auftakt in Sylt


Terminator Salvation Part II

Many times world champion, Bjorn Dunkerbeck (Starboard, Severne, Mystic) dominated the winner’s final today to lead from start to finish and cross the line ahead of the current tour leader, Antoine Albeau (JP, NeilPryde), and the PWA’s president, Jimmy Diaz (Starboard, North).

Bjorn Dunkerbeck:

“Before the final I was really excited, I’d been doing well all day, and knew that I had decent board speed. I was also enjoying the longer run ups that we had to the start line – it’s not like Turkey where we only had about ten seconds to prepare. Here we could get lined up for at least thirty seconds enabling us to reach full speed as we hit the line.

The final was absolutely ideal for me. I tried to get a solid start in the middle of the line, trying to avoid the guys fighting it out at the pin, and also keeping away from the bunch at the boat, but still hitting it at full speed, and it worked out pretty well. Plus, I had great speed along the first reach to arrive at the first gybe ahead of Antoine, and from there on all I had to do was control him, and not make any mistakes. It felt like I had more board speed than anyone else on the water which really helped to give me confidence, and although the wind wasn’t that strong, it was really consistent. My gybing was good, and I just took it home from there!"
