5 Days of Freestyle competition, every day strong winds and 3 finished double eliminations, that is the summary of the PWA Windsurf Worldcup in Fuerteventura 2008.

I was not prepared perfectly, not totally in training, as we were finishing and publishing our new book right before the event.

Mostly sailed on my 4,3 and 3,9 Lip Wave, as the wind was really really strong all the time. The conditions were perfect to do Airflakas and Ponches, as well as Shakas and Forwards going out. On the strongest days we could even see Double Forwards, Pushloops and Backloops!

At the end I made it to the 22^nd place in this event, which is not really great, but as I was not really training a lot I am happy with it. It sets me to the 14^th place overall in the World tour!

Winner of Fuerteventura is Marcilio Browne.
