The wind-drift load took off for the tie-break jumps needed to decide placings in both the Male and Female event. In the Male event after the final round 2 competitors Dimitri Maksimov, Russia and Jie Feng tied for first place - on the jump-off Dimitri Marksimov won - and for third place we had a three way tie. In the Female evet there was also a three-way tie for third place. Olga Lepezina, Russia in first and Svetlana Klenina, Russia in second.

Another nice story to come out of the Men's Accuracy Landing is the placement achieved by the Swedish competitor Magnus Falk - a well known competitor at World Cups and Championships often as a loan competitor managed his best placement ever with a total of 8 cents he ended after 10 round in 6th place.

It is all happening on the Palm DZ - Canopy Piloting is into the third round of the Sequential CP, with only 30 competitors competing.

Meanwhile, Round 8 and 9 Accuracy Landing have completed on the Beach DZ and now the tuffet and all the electronics are being set up on th Beach DZ for the Final Round of Accuracy Landing.

The XDubai Flyboard World Cup 2014, 4-6 December is taking place in the area of the Marina near the Skydive Dubai wharf. A spectacular crowd pleaser.

Fly Boarding

7.00 The last day and the weather forecast is similar to yesterday's, in which case we will complete everything well before the Air Show planned today for 16.15 - 16.50.

The mixture of 'other' events choreographed during the DIPC makes it a real spectator show and certainly brings in the crowds. The majority take place beside the competition and creates an exciting atmosphere on the Drop Zone.

Today we will complete round 8 of the Accuracy Landing which will give us a Team Result in both the Male/Mixed Team event and the Female Team event. At the end of Round 7 CHINA is in first place with a total of 19 cents - RUSSIA and SLOVENIA tie for second with a total of 21 cents with CHINA J in 4th place on 23 cents - anything could happen. The competition is not so close in the Female Team event with BELARUS F 8 cents ahead of RUSSIA F and then a 6 cents difference between them and CHINA F.
