A short video from Ricardo Campello of his Night Session at the 2012 PWA Sylt event back in October. He won the night session and wowed huge crowds that watched on from the beach and on the PWA Live stream. Those doubles, push loops and more are impressive in the day time, but in pitch black, its a whole different game!
The night session just finished in Sylt. Four competitors stepped up to the to keep in the night super session for the €4000 prize purse.
The first heat pitted Dany Bruch verse Victor Fernandez, both competing neck to neck throwing some big jumps. Victor landed a nice double racking up some serious points, but wasnt to be out done, and attempted a big double stalled forward. The continued to push the moves in the dark. Victor stopped sailing with a few minutes left after injuring his ankle, but he still had enough points to qualify for the next round.

Next heat, the light was even darker as Alex Mussolini started strong with some super nice back loops. A few minutes in Ricardo Campello began to dominate, and showed some serious stones, hucking moves like a crazy man. And even showing off for the crowd for no points with a nice wave 360. He continued to throw move after move on both tacks. The highlight was an ankle dry double forward.
Victor was unable to advance to the final due to the injury. Dany Brunch advanced as the next highest score, unfortunately he was unable to find nice ramps, and only scored a few jumps. Campello on the other hand made use all of all the ramps that came his way out and way in. He trough a nice tweaked push loop and than close tot he end, a double forward on starboard tack! Campello took the win, and the largest share of the purse. Big shout out to these four athletes that wowed the big crouds in almost no light!
