"All these guys are really, really good sailors, they all have their own unique style and everybody gets all their rides and their place to perform I think it's gonna be a hard thing to judge. So it boils down to just make it through you know you're giving it everything you've got, that's the best you can do you know"
here, a windsurfing judge is talking about a competition to come.
can someone, please, tell me the meaning of "everybody gets all their rides and their place to perform"?
so why is it going to be hard to judge?
Hi Possopo, this is how I see it:
"everybody gets all their rides and their place to perform"?
In all Windsurfing competitions the contestants are given or ?'pick' a number to decide the order in which they perform. As the sea conditions and thus the wave heights constantly change during the day, a competitor may have to perform a difficult routine under poor conditions. Whereas a less competent one may get a ?'good' wave and easily complete the task. Thus making the judging, who is best very difficult. However, as in life, if you make the best of what you have, you can still be a winner.
I hope that helps.
i see what you mean and it seems to make perfect sense, thanks!
