EL CABEZO IS ON

i am watching pwa tenerife for  a while today
big upsets and poor conditions in the end , but
much better live coverage from pozo .
at least speakage is in english
 you can follow the action on pwaworldtour.com

it's a great summer though with a lot of (live)  windsurf action
which makes these very hot and windless days go through
quite hapilly

back to town now i got some freestyle sessions
among them 2 days in loytsa with 4.8
but moslty in patras in one of them my friend giannhs captured
this beauty on camera

SLALOMANIA PHOTO UPDATE 2

some more fotos from the slalom nationals in drepano 

thnx to my friend mixalhs who also helped a lot among others 

running and organising the event 

here i HANE to pay tribute to MR stefanos grapsas

who was the head organiser and PRO of the race 

and despite his age his passion for windsurfing 

pushed him beyond limits and did really well in everything 

respect .

   

back to the beach after racing 

before the start (not so crowded!!)

cruising in the sun  

 ready for start sequence

some upwind  

5  , 4 ,   3  , 2  , 1     5 minutes to the start  

full speed before start  

over all it was by far one of  the most good organised  slalom events in greece 

we had 3 days of  fun racing.

next slalom event in volvi not sure if i will attend  but for sure

if i do i 'll do it with BIG equipment

  

SLALOMANIA PHOTO UPDATE

a sequence actually of 2nd mark action of the last course of  the last day 

still recovering from the slalom thing ,bad forecast helps ,

because i started mising freestyle

SLALOMANIA

had 4 days full of racing, i can say i am full of it so
i'm getting back to  freestyle now
i am really satisfied with my result considering i  had
only one set of equipment :maui sails TR5 7.6 and patrik slalom 110

with 2 fins black project R RACING 40 and 37,5  and

all the other competitors used only 9.5's and 8.6 's

we were blessed with wind all 3 days of our national slalom competition.
and finished 6 courses .  i got 12 ,9,6,16,11 and 18.5 which was discarded
and finally 10th overall among 32 competitors which is not so bad
