Have fun on the water during the relaxed races of the Racer of the Sea
The second Racer of the Sea event of the year starts this weekend in the Baltic seaside resort of Kellenhusen. There will also be a foil camp and plenty more programme all around at the "Seebrücke im Lichtermeer" (pier in the sea of lights)

Update 9 June:

For the first time, the Racer of the Sea also has a wave classification. A wave alert was issued this morning in view of the favourable wind forecast! The German Wave Tour is also on board! All Racer of the Sea participants can also register for wave riding tomorrow between 10 and 11 am, all others can register from 1 pm. The contest is expected to start in the late afternoon!

Just how attractive the Racer of the Sea everyman regatta is was demonstrated at the Surf festival on Fehmarn seen: Almost 60 starters of all ages and skill levels racing around the course with lots of fun. The fun contest, supported by Starboard and Severne, will now take place in Kellenhusen from 9 to 11 June. The annual "Seebrücke im Lichtermeer" event organised by Tourismus-Service Ostseebad Kellenhusen will run in parallel on Saturday, with live music and food stalls as well as a light and laser show with a firework finale in the evening.

It starts on Friday with a Foil Academy for beginners and advanced surfers. At 13:00, Oliver-Tom Schliemann and Leon Delle, the two initiators of the Racer of the Sea, will be guests at the Surfer Talk on the main stage and will provide information on their innovative approach, their beginner-friendly competition format, the other events on offer and the windsurfing community itself.

There are already 50 starters registered for the Racer of the Sea in Kellenhusen. As always, there will be a group that only takes to the water with fins and a group that can choose freely between fin and foil. The online surf shop Wind Lounge will also be on site with the latest test equipment. The Wind Lounge team will not only provide test equipment for all participants and visitors, but will also be happy to answer any questions about the event and the sport of windsurfing. In the evening, there will be a joint BBQ at the Kellenhusen water sports centre, supported by the local Nahkauf Schlüter supermarket, and cocktails from Salty Elements / Südkap Surfing Sylt.

On Sunday, after the skippers' meeting, it's back on the water, with the award ceremony scheduled for 3 pm. As always this season, there is prize money of 1001 euros, sponsored by Wind Lounge.

Tobi is our digital man, he looks after the surf website and social media channels and gets on everyone's nerves every morning by asking for more pictures and videos. His surfing CV includes all the famous choppy water spots: As a teenager, he went from his home in Münsterland to the Ijsselmeer or the Brouwersdam, and during his civilian service on Sylt, after countless washes on the west side, the Königshafen became his preferred spot. After studying in Kiel and Heidkate, he was supposed to go to Hamburg “only for a short time”, but this short time has lasted for over ten years and has made him a “weekend warrior”. He goes on tour with his family and camper van as often as possible, often to the Baltic Sea, SPO or Denmark, but also likes to go to Finland, Sweden or Sardinia.
