This video is pretty fucking entertaining! Here is the blurb from Vimeo, and enjoy,
this video is about windsurfing at your homespots, with your friends… it is about training, or maybe not…? this is actually about what Thomas Traversa, ranked 7th in the port tack waveriding world tour, does when he´s in France: having fun in the friendly mediterranean ( starboard tack ) conditions.
“Training is useless unless you have a purpose ” …
Deep thoughts and gnarly action on Maui from Chris Murray is this windsurfing short.
More disappointing news from the PWA, coming just a few weeks after announcing the cancellation of the Aruba Slalom event, the PWA has now cancelled the entire event. The following is the statement from the PWA, citing the financial situation for cancellations.
“The present economic situation, brought about by the closing of the Valero Refinery, has greatly affected Aruba. As a consequence sponsors for the event recently informed us that they are forced to cut down funding support for events and projects on the Island because of the present insecure financial situation. Government budgets have been cut drastically and as such the needed budget for the PWA event cannot be supplemented from that source either.”
Hopefully this trend does not continue, and events return in the following years.
