WISSA 2020 is relocated to the north, to <a href="https://goo.gl/maps/UP6tGQwvhx5RarAA9" target="_blank">Lestijärvi</a>, Finland, as in Estonia and southern Finland the winter has not arrived yet.<br /><br /><a href="https://goo.gl/maps/UP6tGQwvhx5RarAA9" target="_blank">Lestijärvi</a> has very good conditions, 30-40cm of smooth ice, at moment covered with some snow. The forecast shows more colds and some snow. The lake is big enough (64,7 km²) to accommodate course race tracks for kites and sleds-wings at the same time.<br />Accommodation information will be found on our accommodation page at 29.01.2020.<br />Race area and race office locations will be announced next week.</div>

Jacques Sotty, WISSA winner at 1988, is making return to event after 32 years! We asked couple of questions from Sotty to get to know him and his icesurfing history.<br />
<strong>What year did you start winter surfing?</strong>I used to practice “Speed Sailing” ( Windsurfing on wheels) and hold the Speed World Record (77,88 km/h). I was curious to try it on ice as well<br />
The first time I tried it was near Munich in 1985 or 1986. I was impressed by the speeds that can be reached, especialy with light winds.<br />

<strong>Why winter surfing? In France, everybody do just surfing</strong></div>
I have always been “adventurous”, wanting to try new experiences (as becoming a professional boomerang thrower), windsurfing on ice was logical. Also I have always been attracted by cold countries as Scandinavian and Baltic countries are.<br />
Driving from Paris to Leningrad during the very cold 1985 winter was quite a souvenir. I remember the Baltic sea was frozen in Puttgarden. It was amazing! First time in my life I had ever seen a frozen sea. And also driving in the communist USSR with my ice surfing equipment on top the car was quite something!<br />

<strong>How many WISSAs you have took part? How many medals from them?</strong>1986, 1987, 1988. I won the 1988 Championship. I actually did not know that I had won. Someone told me months later.<br />
I remember races that I won in Pori (Finland), on snow. Local competitors collected samples of my skis wax to analyse it . Actually, I even did not know that skis had to be waxed, I was using skis to a French ski jumper and sailed with them as their were :) !<br />

<strong><br />I am not asking why did you stop taking part in WISSA but why you decided to return now?</strong>I have done some researches on the internet about ice surfing and found the WISSA Facebook page as well as Kim’s and Will’s. It gave me the idea to see them again as well as ice surf again.<br />

<strong>What are you waiting from WISSA 2020?</strong><br />
I'm 58 now and had back and shoulders surgery... I have windsurfed less than 10 times and icesurfed less to 2 hours in 30 years. To enter WISSA 2020 is a privilege for me and a way to stay young, I suppose. Also I can’t wait to meet Will and Kim again, meet Enda and other great people.<br />
<br />

Pärnu is hosting WISSA at it's 40th event, from 10th to 15th of February 2020. The competition is organized by the same committee who was responsible for <a href="http://wissa.purjelaualiit.ee/" style="color: #005594; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.01em; outline: 0px;">WISSA 2016</a> and <a href="https://winter2019.slaalom.ee/" rel="noopener" style="color: #005594; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.01em; outline: 0px;" target="_blank">Winter Surf Europeans 2019</a>. The organizing authority is <a href="http://puri.ee/" style="color: #005594; font-weight: 700; letter-spacing: 0.01em; outline: 0px;">Estonian Yachting Union</a>.</div>
<div style="font-family: "Open Sans", Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">
We are happy to welcome all winter surfers from all around the world: kites, wings, sleds. There will be three disciplines for wings and sleds: short track slalom, course race and GPS speed; and two for kiters: course race and GPS speed.<br />
<br />
Pärnu is a charming seaside city in Western Estonia, known for its spas and beautiful beaches. It is the fourth biggest city in Estonia. WISSA is planned to take place on the ice of Baltic sea, making it quite a unique experience. Pärnu Bay is shallow so, there is usually plenty of ice during the winter. The exact location will depend on the ice conditions in the area.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Hello Friends,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">back home again from Russia feels sooo good. Having been there feels even better! Conversely, not having gone there would probably have haunted me for the rest of my life ... with nagging regrets.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">WISSA-2017 in combination with the Russian National Festival of Outdoor Activities in Tolyatti turned out to be a highly successful event, not only for the organizers but also for WISSA and the unusually large numbers of competitors (except for the three Wing sailors).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">For me this was a "must do" mission. A year ago in Estonia, Alexey Razhev, longtime WISSA member and chief organizer of the Tolyatti event had reminded me quite pointedly that he had made the long trip to North-America four times, including twice to Ontario (when I was the organizer). He also could have mentioned (but did not) his 5,000 km trip with team Tyumen in two cars from Siberia to Lago di Resia in 2002. How could I have continued living in peace with myself by ignoring his invitation to the Volga River?</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">The event was really well organized and obviously also well sponsored. For many years in the past the competition site had been used for numerous winter sailing events (mainly kites). Their infrastructure for accommodation, food supply, transportation, race course setup, judging, emergency responses, media coverage was well established. However, the event ranked very low in international content. This, of course, made it difficult for non-Russian speaking competitors like me. Regrettably, having no access to the internet throughout my time in Russia also added to the dilemma of being a foreigner.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Sailing conditions throughout the week were far from ideal. Unusually mild temperatures resulted in mushy, wet snow. Winds on the first day of competition were too strong (gusts in excess of 15 m/sec) and made sailing on a heavy snow surface difficult. In the following days winds were ok for Kites, but too low for Sleds and clearly insufficient (shitty) for Wings. Kite sailors, gliding on long and wide skis or snowboards could handle the soft snow quite well.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Short track slalom races turned also into contests in bravery, with spectacular sliding and spinouts on wet ice, even a few catapults into surrounding snow banks. The usable race area was too small. However, STS was probably still the most observed and most photographed WISSA race venue.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">While writing this summary I can't help thinking of having been lucky again, and this time I mean it collectively, with WISSA. Lucky to have Richards and Feodor there. Without the two of you the event with respect to WISSA would have been a big flop. Thank you for being there and for all your support on and off the ice, including handling the official WISSA stuff. Looking back now it seems truly amazing how we pulled it off.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">With best regards from Lake Ontario,</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Klaus</span></div>

Dear Friends! </h2>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
This year WISSA-2017 takes place in Togliatti which has been my hometown for 10 years! The victory in WISSA is much more important for our kiters than in any other championship. I believe, the region of the Volga river and the Zhiguli Sea will become the best ground for your races, victories, records and performances. In February, ice is always fast here, the wind is strong, Togliatti fans are very exited, and our city is really hospitable. </div>
