“This event was sponsored by the ONA (National Office Anti Drugs) main focus are for our future kids in supporting, educating and directing them threw the right path in life without drugs and alcohol, this was the first time in a great while all the champs where all together and it was great to see every athlete putting their effort to improve our El Yaque which is ranked top 3 destinations in the world for Windsurf and Kite!
During the first two days of the slalom pro it was a battle between Master Alexis Carache (who tought me how to windsurf) Ricardo Campello and I, we all 3 had an equal tie! When it came down to the 3rd day of competition I gained more confidance and was more in tuned with my equipment, with winds gusting up to 28 knots using my 92L SL2 AHD and my 7.3 GPS Hot Sails Maui, I secured 1st place after the 3rd day but still with a tight score together with Ricardo and Alexis! They were both sailing unbalevable
I don’t know what happened on the 4th and last day! The conditions where great, my starts where perfect exiting with hi speed I managed to win all 5 rounds that day with a great lead of almost a half a bouy ahead of everyone! I was very happy with my performance and most of all that the whole event brought every one closer and with the positive energy of all to keep our El Yaque progressing and giving the best example we can to our future kids! And keep on being a World Champion destination!”

In a test of mental fitness and physical stamina against the whims of open water, 19-year-old Red Bull Athlete Kai Lenny made Lake Michigan his next conquest by crossing the lake by wind surfing, starting at Sturgeon Bay, WI and landing in Frankfort, MI, this past Friday, May 18, 2012. Lake Michigan has seen its array of boats, jet skis, swimmers and sailors through the years, but this was the first time anyone has windsurfed from the west to east coast of Lake Michigan, in a seemingly impossible water craft challenge.

The Slot Box is an idea that has been around for a while now, originating from paddle surf boards, the design was taken in recent years over to windsurf boards. However, there were quite a few hurdles to overcome to make sure it could withstand the brutal forces that modern day windsurfing throws at it. So who better to speak to then the man who helped make this transition possible, Tiesda You. We also hooked up with Starboard Pro Team Rider and Top 10 PWA Freestyler, Phil Soltysiak, to see if it has got the thumbs up from the pro scene.
Head over to Boardseeker for the full discussion.
