The ultimate day at the EFPT Fuerteventura

June 30th, 2018

It’s a wrap for the first ever EFPT Fuerteventura, staged at Matas Bay Watersports center. Since at least another six hours of good conditions were required to start another single and double and with the wind not improving until the early afternoon, the event has been called off for the pro fleet around 2.00 pm. The juniors were still kept on stand-by through the remaining day, to give them the...

Layday on Day 3 of the EFPT Fuerte

June 29th, 2018

After super busy competition day yesterday with great wind conditions, Fuerteventura presented itself in a complete different way on day three of the competition. Moody skies and even some rain, which is very usual in this time of the year, would keep the wind from improving. The sailors were kept on stand-by and a small tow-in supersession has been launched in the afternoon. Yentel Caers (JP), wi...

Yentel Caers takes victory in double elimination

June 28th, 2018

Stating that day two here at the EFPT in Matas Bay was action packed, would be a huge understatement. With a whole single and double elimination finished for three divisions (U16, U18 and pro) we’ve seen some great battles and some big surprises in the total of 34 heats that were on the water today. Single elimination: Corto Dumond, a young-gun from New Caledonia, caused quite an upset already...

EFPT Fuerteventura – Day 1

June 27th, 2018

It has been a dream for many years now to add another Canary island to the EFPT calendar. Davide Zilli, who has been on the EFPT judging team for several seasons and who is a passionate freestyle windsurfer himself, made this wish come true. The owner of the Pro Wind Fuerteventura brought tour-stop to Matas Blancas, a bay upwind of the famous Risco del Paso here in the South of the island. Matas B...

June 25th, 2018

The 25 years old Swiss sailor, Loick Spicher (RRD/RRD), who has been a regular on tour in the past years and who has always been one to watch out for as an opponent, made his first EFPT podium at the EFPT Sardinia in the beginning of June.

Steven Van Broeckhoven takes victory

June 3rd, 2018

On the last day here at the Windsurfclub Porto Liscia, our prayers have been answered. With clear weather in the morning, the easterly wind started to fill in at 09:30 am and the green flag for the first heat of the day went up shortly after 12.00 am. The riders picked their 93 to 100 liter boards and their 5.2s. With this wind direction, the wind remained on the light side and gusty throughout th...

EFPT Sardinia – Day 4

June 2nd, 2018

At the penultimate day of the EFPT in Sardinia, the wind teased competitors and crew. Even though everybody has been exceptionally patient every day, waiting from 9.00 am in the morning until 8.00 pm in the evening, that the conditions would make a fair contest possible, the riders became a bit restless. After some fun challenges, like a rigging competition between Riccardo Marca (North/Fanatic) a...

EFPT Sardinia – Day 3

June 1st, 2018

The third day of the EFPT Sardinia finished without a further result. However, despite a very light forecast, the conditions around lunchtime looked sufficient to at least try starting the next heat of the single elimination. Adam Sims (Patrik/Sailloft) and Rossel Bertoldo (RRD/RRD) were giving it a go on big equipment in the onshore wind, that is very unsual here at the Windsurf Club Porto Liscia...

EFPT Sardinia – Day 2

May 31st, 2018

The second day at the EFPT Sardinia unfortunately ended without giving us the opportunity to proceed with the single elimination that has been started yesterday. Eight riders are sitting in first place at the moment, eager to continue with the battle: Antony Ruenes, Steven Van Broeckhoven (JP/Gunsails), Julian Wiemar (Starboard/Severne), Tonky Frans (RRD/RRD), Riccardo Marca (North/Fanatic), Loick...
