PWA Fuerte is over....

wow, that was some really impressive 5 freestyle days at fuerte with Marcilio Browne as winner and Gollito EStredo in second... some mindblowing moves and some great ladies freestyle too. Sara Quita has been crowned worldchampion and Yoli de Brendt did her first second place in a double elimination and almsot made it on the podium by finishing 4th overall.... the conditions were pretty windy and choppy, perfect for extreme Freestyle...

hairy day at sotavento...


since the wind refused to blow hard like the days before, the little bored worldcup guys came to charge for hair... o.k., short explanation... german rider andre paskowski bet at the lanzarote worldcup with marcilio browne that Germany would win the european championchips in football... if not, he would end up with a bold head... germany didn´t win and yesterday was time for the razor to get sharpened and used.... don´t look for the blond flying hair if you wanna find paskowski... :-)

yes, it is Fuerte and not Pozo....

Pozo or Fuerteventura… I didn´t really know last night if i´ve already moved from windy gran canaria to costa calma. The wind kept me awake.. but a short look out of the window, seeing palmtrees and wide sandy beaches assured me that I am at Fuerteventura… and it is windy … already the last days i´ve been sailing with my 4,2 … stucked !!! If the wind stays, it could be a really interesting Freestyle Competition… most impressive so far : Gollito Estredo and Tonky Frans…. I will report on my website www.tom-brendt.de where I already wrote about the past PWA Worldcups at Lanzarote and in Pozo, including some Picture Galeries……..

Our welcome at Sotavento... wiindy

Four o´clock wake up call, early morning ferry from gran canaria to Fuerteventura and here we are, back at the beautiful Island of Fuerteventura in Costa Calma. White sandy Beaches, super nice water colours, some would say that´s quite a contrast to Pozo, though I really do like Pozo as well but enjoy Fuerte… Fuerteventura… The Island of strong winds… yep, actually yesterday we went sailing and I can tell that the Island provides the whole variety of windspeeds… unluckily it was showed us at our sessions within 5 seconds…. I could say it was pretty gusty….. but it wasn´t the right weather neither for more constant winds…. Today is another day and we hope for a bit more constant session… will tell you tomorrow….

Fanatic Riders Andre, Chico and Gollito in Action at sotavento !!

That was wiiindy today... I tried a bit with my 3,4 after the competition for today had been cancelled, and i was stucked.... Unluckily there were only a few Waveheats and a long long waiting period today.... but forecasts for tomorrow are sick.... even windier and more waves... and today more than 50 knots had been measured already !!!!

I keep you updated with my full reports and Fotos here :
