damn, I'll miss it also this year... I should be there in May :head

btw, what is " the renowned youla championships"? google doesn't know about it and the only thing
in wikipedia is some youla parametrization in equations of control theory, not sure that's the one.
I guess it's not youla-la-heeo either, that's called yodeling.

Sara, I'll happily enlist as woman if you promise me to let me win!
 
It has been mentioned that the water can be cold there in April. :confused: rofl
So here Mikko is a training for that. Veera asks for static signs.

I hope you will see both Mikko and Veera there in Fazza this year.

BTW Sara-Lise, you can get some Elios suits with e.g. pink (red) sewings like in Veera's new 5 mm Heiwa suit. In this video there is too little light to see the suit well. But it looks very, very nice, or somebody could say: cute :girlie

Maybe this one from the 80's is a good choice for you :)

Update:

Adolphin (Adel Haliqa) has organised Emma Farrell to teach teh Dubai Police a freediving rescue course on Tuesday. I found this out on the weekend.

So it seems that any of the people that came forward to volunteers as qualified and experienced safety freedivers have not been considered.

Sorry guys...
 
Competitors can register online this year:

:: F a z z a 3 ::

Its going to be great to have the Finnish competing with us this year!

AND, also the presence of one more woman so I don't feel like a complete numptie :D

Alexey Molchanov
Mikko Pontinnen
