At 5pm Mayor of Ulsan started the “Official Opening Race”. This saw all the contestants going to head-to-head for a share of the $5000 prize money.
The race started when the wind had began to drop already, but it was quite a sight to see the top windsurfers in the world racing straight off the beach.
Sadly the wind dropped to almost nothing so the majority of the race was non-planing. The race saw the top five women receiving a share of the prize money, which was split $1500 to women.
After a long drawn out race the first woman to finish the race was Japan’s Fujiko Onishi.
