Jessica Pilz and Janja Garnbret were out first and it was a tense super-final which swung one way then the other, with both climbers coming close to reaching the buzzer, only to fall at the last move. With 90 seconds left on the clock, both climbers were on the crash mats, tired from their previous efforts but beaming broad smiles as the audience roared them on. Time ran out with both athletes on the wall but someone had to win so they climbed on! Finally, Janja reached up for the crucial top hold and as soon as she touched it, the win was a formality. She flopped onto the top of the wall, took a second to compose herself and pressed the buzzer to claim the adidas ROCKSTARS title, a week after taking the World Championship lead final. She is just 17 years old and her trophy cabinet is already rammed full.

I never thought Mark Walters blokart speed record of 64.4 mph could be broken, but I did best it yesterday 9-22-16 with a speed of 65 mph. The conditions were perfect for a record. The wind blew 30-35 mph out of the SW with higher gust to over 40. Timing the higher gust is always critical for a high speed run. I made a number of passes in the 61-63mph range. There is a lot of luck involved when trying to sail a blokart 65mph. If you don’t receive a strong wind gust once your up to speed, you will never break 60mph. Yesterday I timed the gust pretty good allowing me to sail my kart deeper with power at just the right time. Having my gps pointed towards my go pro allowed real time speed which worked out really well until I sailed deep off the wind to the East, away from the afternoon sun. It would of been nice to have a clear readout during my record pass. The Max Speed readout on my gps confirmed my real time readout of 65mph. Gary Terell and my wife Patty were also there, taking photos, shooting video and as witnesses.
The fourth day of the Cape Hatteras Wave Classic presented by Patagonia brought strong winds. After three days of light breeze everyone was jonesing to get on the water and throw down. Riders were taking sessions, with camera’s rolling all day.
