The following is from the American Windsurfing Tour website:
A weak storm front rolls through the Santa Cruz area killing the wind for day 1 of the AWT’s Goya Windsurfing Festival… but don’t fear, the forecast looks great for the rest of the weekend. Skippers meeting will be at 9 am Friday so everyone will be ready for a big day at Waddell
Don`t forget to follow the AWT for more updates, pics and videos!
The cream of the crop of the men’s freestyle fleet have been once again ripping at Austria’s famed Neusiedler See for the opening event of the 2012 freestyle world tour. From the 27th April to the 1st May these guys showed their latest moves after their winter training and launched the 2012 freestyle season off to an explosive start.
Neusiedler See is unique as the only inland stop on the PWA tour. It is also truly unpredictable as it can offer anything from freezing 40 knot winds, combined with torrential rain, to weather more associated with the Mediterranean and idyllic breezes. One thing is for sure though, this year we had mediterranean like 30°C and blue bird for the whole weekend. Some south wind enables the riders to battle out for the “King of the Lake”.
Take a deep look into the life of Kai Lenny as he takes us through a journey through his life and sheds some light on what motivates him as an individual.
