We were supposed to fly from Tarifa to Germany and drive to the Worldcup in Sylt and be there by Friday, just in time for the competition. However, after giving away the rental car and unloading all the equipment in the airport, we found out the flight was cancelled. It was a Ryan Air flight to Düsseldorf and they told us it was cancelled cause the strike in France... Strange thing is that other planes from other companies did depart...
Well anyway, they let us wait in queue for few hours and then told us, there's nothing they will do but either change the ticket for another Ryan Air flight or refund the money for that flight due to "extraordinary circumstances",... no hotel, no transfer or whatever, nothing...

Well - as i would arrive way too late and it would cost quite a lot of money to go to Sylt now, we decided to stay in Tarifa for a week longer. Got the car back (glad we had a great VW bus from Surferslife Tarifa!!) and drove back to Tarifa where we will stay till next week Friday...

We have Tricktionary books and DVD's in Sylt - so if you are interested, you can see and even buy it there - go to the Windsurfing Journal stand, they will have books and DVD's!
Otherwise, as always you can get more info and also order online at www.tricktionary.net

So... no Sylt for me this year - makes my overall ranking pretty bad as i was missing Lanzarote as well - hope next year goes better!

Good luck to the rest of Team Austria in Sylt!!

See you on the water!
