The competition is moved to Hanko!

It was planned that the 3rd European Cup race “WWEC 2010 Mellsten” on February 12 – 14 will take place in Espoo, Finland. After the snowstorms it became impossible to clean the track for slalom (Finns say they did not have that much snow in Finland for the last 30 years!), moreover, the ice under the snow is not good enough for racing.
The competition is moved to Hanko (120 km south-west from Helsinki). Hanko is one of the windiest spots in Finland and an excellent place to windsurf. Now there is about 5 -15 cm of snow, the ice under the snow is nice and the track for slalom is being cleaned!

Mezezers sports complex has a cross-country and downhill skiing options. We consider to arrange downhill fun races, if wind will let us to rest. Take your skis and snowboards and don’t forget your friends and fans.  Skiing, skating and tubing equipment is available for rent.

Mezezers won`t be an empty place on weekends, therefore do your accomodation bookings ASAP by contacting Ieva, phone: +371 29190875 or by e-mail: ieva@sapnotaji.lv.

As you can see in the terrain map, the chosen competition area is not the best on S and W wind directions, therefore organizers keep the right to change the racing spot with 5 days notice, but keeping accomodation in same place.

WWEC2010-4 will be the last international event before WISSA 30.th World Championship in Canada. In March there will be two more events: WWEC-5 in Estonia (the last one this season) and WW European Open in Finland.
