The best in Open Ladies was, as expected, Croatian Silvia Troselj, and the best Slovenian Lady was Mateja Pasic, overall fifth. The best Junior was Mateja's son Luka Pasic and his twin brother Saso took the second place so it really was a wonderful day for Pasic family. The best Croatian Junior was Stefan Lalic, overall third. They won the titles of national champions and prizes from the general sponsor of the event T-Com and Tourist board of Punat.

Riders gave really good performance, everybody was in the good mood, I feel here as a part of one big sports family."

Silvia Troselj from Rijeka is so far the best rider from Krk. In season 2005 aside from the title of national champion, she was also fifth at the European Championships in Alfsee, Germany, and sixth at the World Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

- personal review - Varna - 12.09.2005

     Everything was absolutely super trouper! Riders, spectators, sunshine and calm water... Thanks a lot to everybody who helped us make this wonderful event! Thanks to T-Com Croatia for sponsorship, Tourist board of Punat for cash prizes, Lior, Gyuri and Vule for excellent judging. I am absolutely thrilled by the fact that we had seven ladies at the competition, there are more and more females around the cable, we could have a knitting and tapestry course soon :) The after party in Snooker was, as after any big event, a blast. Unfortunately for me but luckily for some riders I forgot the camera for the after party... I also have to give credit to Igor for his excellent first appearance as moderator. With support from numerous guests and riders he kept the atmosphere up all day long.

Except the standard awards on Saturday we also had The best future artist winner. All riders had a spot to make a drawing at their entry forms. The jury unanimously agreed that the best future artist is Kristian Skrokov from Punat with a drawing of himself at slider and city of Punat in the background.

This competition was the great final of one chilly summer. Traditionally, next big event at Krk is on schedule in May, The first Stop of the European Cable Wakeboard Tour 2006...
