    Congrats on your amazing 8th place! Something to be proud of. How heartbreaking it is to go out like Johan, though. Whether or not he wouldn't have won the title with regular production sails is pure speculation. A modified sail alone doesn't put you in first place after all. However, as hard as the disqualification is, it was the right call I think. Congrats also to Matteo. It's a well deserved world title. His performance this season was stellar.

    Man I was heartbroken to hear Johan got a DSQ. Seems absolutely ridiculous it gets discovered on the last day. I am very curious to hear what "modification" had been done. Maybe you can enlighten us? I already see comments on the prize givings with "It should've been Johan" which also sucks for Iachino who absolutely also deserves the title with that racing. Gear should get tested when you show up for an event not during or after. I am very confident Johan did not cheat on purpose.
    And let us not forget. The dildo of consequence rarely comes lubed - Rytis

    Great result being 8th in the World. Over the year, we have seen glimpses of the performance you can achieve if you have all your ducks in a row. If you can string together more of the top notch results, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to get a podium at the end of 2024. You and your kit certainly have the potential!!

    Great reporting, well done on your results and on the production along the way Nico. Very surprised by the disqualification during the event, will be really unfortunate if his sponsor fucked up and supplied a non spec sail for the event. You hear about this sort of thing in F1 racing when constructors change things, but this is a first in board sports that I've heard about. It can provide an advantage for sure if specs are agreed for competitions (like using the current year production model sail), so it was the right decision in the end. In skiing when carving skis came in they made particular specs as a requirement once the governing bodies realised the impact of the turn radius on Slalom and Giant Slalom racing performance.

    See below the official statement from PWA regarding the DSQ.
    Please everyone, be aware that none of you have all the correct information or the full picture.
    It's crazy to see how quickly lies and false assumption spread. Regarding wether or not a sail was used, how much the measured difference really was, how much this would actually affect the performance and so on.
    Of course, every party is releasing statements, but you can't believe everything you read on the internet.
    No doubt that Johan sailed very well. I much respect his performance throughout the year and I'm sure he will be back strong next year.
    Be assured that the PWA put a lot of work in, before making this call. They don't have the intention to harm anyone and they are certainly not influenced by riders or brands.
    They are here to enforce rules. If they don't do that, we'll end up in the Wild West.
    Wether the rules are good or not and should be different is a completely different topic and question. It shouldn't be confused with the fact that rules, which are currently in place, have to be enforced.

    • @BorisRadeleff

      Official Statement Regarding Johan Søe’s Disqualification
      Following equipment inspection of the top riders at the PWA Slalom Finals in Japan, Danish sailor Johan Soe, DEN-37, was unfortunately found to have been using a sail that had been modified from its original factory specification and that did not meet the registered specification for the sail, including allowances for all measurement tolerances.
      As such, under the rules regarding production equipment on the PWA Slalom World Tour, the protest committee had no choice but to disqualify Johan from the final event in Japan.
      Whilst we sympathise with Johan to have lost the World Title under such circumstances, the rules are clear and the facts surrounding the modification of the sails, and the discrepancy between the registered specifications of the sails, and the sails Johan was using, are not in question.
      The PWA takes the rules surrounding production equipment seriously and respects the efforts of the vast majority of brands and riders to adhere to the rules and compete fairly. As such, to ignore the use of equipment that had been physically modified and that did not meet the registered specification would have been unacceptable with respect to the fundamental principles of the rules.

    • @matthansen3665
      @matthansen3665 Před 10 měsíci

      What happened that made the pwa suddenly start measuring sails on the final day?

    • @thomasbohn5034
      @thomasbohn5034 Před 10 měsíci

      Agree that the rules need to be adhered to. However, the PWA needs to have more transparent guidelines about when equipment gets checked. I feel for Johan. He probably had no idea. I would lay the blame on Point-7. He’s young and will bounce back for sure; hopefully with a new sail sponsor.

      Pity for Johan, but I'm sure he had no idea that his sail wasn't "standard" issue - Especially since his sailmakers are often making changes for the better. He got the latest sail and it had been tweaked but not registered yet as standard production. 20 years old and world champion: WOW.
      He will definitely come back next year with a vengeance.
