Pro women finals report
Allright, this was a bit hectic and we couldn't write all tricks down, so sorry about that...
Finals Pro Women
1 Kirsteen Mitchell UK
Kirsteen fell in her run and picked up at the third turn. Tailpress, boardside backslide, frontflip, and fell again while doing an invert

Front to blind, back mobe, front mobe, boardslide transfer (fall)
3 Tor Young UK
Heelside frontside 3, backside 1 to switch backside 1, roll to blind, boardslide and boardslide out, some inverts, blind judge, heelside frontside 3
4 Denise De Haan NL
Frontside 180, hoochie glide, roll to revert, transfer boardslide backside out and then she lost her fin! She had some problems with that earlier. She went through the course with her hand held high, so the judges could see there was a problem. Within 3 minutes the fin was repaired and she picked up where she left off: at the funbox. Raley frontside 1, back mobe, ollie to boardslide on the slider, blind judge, heelside frontside 3.

The sun is coming!
But we don't know when exactly the sun shows up. Our very own weatherman Paddy has got some more info.
This Friday will be a cloudy day at Down Under. The wind is turning from southwest to west and tonight it'll be the right weather for wakeboarding! On Saturday the sky will be filled with clouds, the wind will turn to southwest and grow in strength to 5-6 Beaufort. At the Cable Call, there is some rain to be expected on Saturday afternoon. It won't be a lot, 2 mm max, but it's wise to bring a small umbrella or wear your Protest Cable Call cap!
Sunday, there is a small chance of some rain, but not a lot as well. And hey! The sun is probably attending the event on Sunday afternoon.
Thanks to weatherman Paddy aka Patrick van Iersel who shared this info on our Protest Cable Call event page. Check out his site here or high-five him at the Cable Call.
