I find it all a bit monotonous after 5 minutes watching despite the obvious skill factor. However there is no doubt that freestyle has helped rejuvenate windsurfing

Siny,I guess you will be going for the wave sailors .So Angulo and Allen then for you.

They look like windsurfers trying to be kite boards trying to be wakeboarders.

seeing as windsurfing has been around longer than either kite boarding or wake boarding, I would say you have it around the wrong way.

Pity we couldn't watch those heats live.Last season was fantastic,they had a camera on each rider and splitscreen so you could watch both competitors at the same time.


Watch the heats with Taty,see what the light weight freestylers tactics do to the heavy slalom racers.Bit hit n' miss but always guaranteed to end spectacularly one way or another.
In a couple of years time Golito and Koester will join the slalom fleet.Will one of them be able to stop Dunky from getting 50 world titles?

Once you've seen a backloop on a lake (1:20) you've seen it all...holy S@#@, straight baller

Looks like Taty couldn't make it from Austria to Korea in time and went back to the Caribbean and has entered the Curacoa Challenge instead.
Unfortunately Korea won't be as exciting as it could be.

Here's a link to Philip Koster completing a double forward off chop.
