NEWLETTER #1 2019 THE NEWS LETTER Upcoming season I will keep you up to date by writing a newsletter every few months. To inform you about the pass and what is coming up.
TARIFA WINTERTRAINING Mid February I went to Tarifa, Spain to prepare for the new racing season. The first three weeks the Levanta was blowing non-stop. Sailing every day two session with the 5.6/6.4 in choppy conditions. Sometimes I swopt my slalom stuff for a wave set and went to Bolonia to enjoy the fantastic waves. Beside windsurfing I made sure to keep fit by going to the CrossFit. Unfortunately the new slalom boards came not in time to join the slalom training in Tenerife in March. So I stayed in Tarifa. Sportlink Tarifa organized slalom and foil training for everybody. A good way to practice starts and more racing situations. The weather and wind conditions were very good this year in Tarifa.
PWA FRANCE
EVENT 1
The first PWA slalom event of the year was hold in Marignane France. The CNM windsurf club organised the PWA event for the first time on this spot. The past 4 years Marignane had always delivered amazing slalom conditions during the AFF (France championship). Also this year the wind was good. Unfortunately during the PWA the wind was from the wrong direction. Just enough wind to finish one elimination. The first heat I lead from start to finish, the quarterfinal I had good speed and was in in qualifying position, until I miss gripped my boom during the second gybe. Going back home with a 17th place. The event was well organized and there was a good atmosphere on the beach, too bad we didn’t get the normal Mistral wind.
Back home I had time to finetune my new equipment a bit more. And on the light wind days I jumped om the foil gear together with teammate Ethan Westera.
