I hear a rumour that Vando is about to take part in the biggest windsurfing race in the world? any truth to it? If so we need updates. I have seen some video footage of previous years and it looks absolutely awesome. Very jealous!
Clearly as the sole Bayside sailboard club representative Vando, you will be promoting the club and upholding the high standards that Leo has set at major race events.
Yes he's over there indeed, among 800 others !! (including A2, bringdal, maynard, questel, and Van der ...)
they're starting tomorrow, wind blowing 25/30 at the moment.
Think he's training with the lloft team as we speak...
Apparently this is called a gate start. looks awesome! My simple brain cannot explain how the guys at the top dont get an advantage, if all you have to do is pass behind the boat??
Best of luck Vando! I am living my life through you at the moment, oh and the 22 year old french exchange student we have in our office!
I knew you would have read that somewhere Hoops, way to clever for you. It will be interesting to see which way Vando goes, he is pretty good upwind, but also very quick off the wind. I guess the other advantage of starting further out (and in front) is the air should be a bit cleaner??
Would be hard to resist the broader run and flat water from next to the shore.
Trying to read translated french it looks like after great wind leading up to the event, the first day brought little wind.
wind is blowing but in the wrong direction..... so they launched a 5 km funny race with a "24 hours du Mans" style start....
The quad is the start line, crazy frenchies.....
1st Bringdal 2nd Ben Van der
Vando seems to be enjoying the concerts and the free beer !!!
