The have the heats on demand in which they show the best waves of the heat.<BR/>And if they were organized in a way that the web user could select them without knowing the heat winner (which they haven't figured out how to do yet... maybe they're not that smart!), the user would still have the suspence of guessing who the winner was.<BR/><BR/>Marcos,<BR/>from what you say, sounds like it was a proper broadcast. Oh well, then Dave did the first live windsurfing broadcast from Maui... still quite a title for my car!<BR/>Spot on with your comment about Kai: style, timing and wave knowledge of a veteran! And how about the heat strategy (I know because I judged him at the Aloha classic a few years ago) and the nerves? And when in a few years he'll have the body and strength of an adult... oh my!<BR/>He's a true waterman with super high skills in all water discipilines you can think of. And he's obsessed with winning. Not necessarily a soul surfer, but an extremely motivated competitor.cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-20143555923101054042009-02-15T06:30:00.000-10:002009-02-15T06:30:00.000-10:00Guys:I indeed saw the Pozo webcast, it was quite d...Guys:<BR/>I indeed saw the Pozo webcast, it was quite decent, unlike the pozo webcams. Oddly enough, the PWA page did not have a link to it, and even in the website that hosted it was hard to find. I remember I mentioned it to you GP but you did not find it.<BR/>Hopefully you guys will make this change, the pics from ponta preta look amazing, the spectators can trow stones to the sailors they are so close...<BR/>Hey amazing about Lenny right? He looked like he lacks power and strength in the moves but boy he has the style, timing and wave knowledge of a veteran!<BR/>Cheers!<BR/>MarcosAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-3381144113463309332009-02-14T23:04:00.000-10:002009-02-14T23:04:00.000-10:00I want replays! is there replays??I want replays! is there replays??Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08572536130165989865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-12238009632754443422009-02-14T22:54:00.000-10:002009-02-14T22:54:00.000-10:00David,god bless you for what you did.

Hopefully the slow moving windsurfing world will start to catch up...<BR/><BR/>Chris,<BR/>was it a webcam or a video camera with somebody actually filming and following the sailors? <BR/>BTW, a proper webcast is with commentary too. And eventually multiple camera angles (some of which in the water). And replays. And interviews on the beach. <BR/>Just watch any surf contest webcast... no, no need to go to the ASP top events... any WQS event in the States will do it. How come they're so advanced?<BR/>Let's admit it you guys. <BR/>Surfers are smarter (hence richer).cammarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319369737358774800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11399910.post-48789610736580031922009-02-14T22:22:00.000-10:002009-02-14T22:22:00.000-10:00Its not quite the first webcast you know.

On the plus side, we're figuring out what it takes to get decent webcasts done in remote locations. Thanks to everyone who's been on the webcasts and providing feedback. <BR/><BR/>And most of all - thanks to GP for the car. walking would have totally sucked. ;-)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15617231720161266493noreply@blogger.com
