BONIFACIO WINDSURF - FREESTYLE PROJECT - 13 - 15 June 2012
They disembarked…
We invited them, they crossed the Mediterranean Sea with our partner SNCM and they are now on our Corsican most beautiful beach. 10 freestyle riders, of the most talented worldwide, got together to make the show and land the most unbelievable freestyle moves on Piantarella lagoon.
A good windy training day!
A nice West wind was blowing on-site from 20 to 25 knots all day long. Our top riders took advantage of this hooly day-off to test the spot and warm up. The photo and video productions are ready to immortalize the event and shooted non-stop at the heart of the action. The game went easily on and on and the riders couldn’t avoid raising the bidding to impress each other and amaze the photographers. What a pleasure to meet all together with friends [who are all kings of Freestyle] just for fun!
Thomas and Anthony have a new game these times : they are testing new kickers in the water. This Windsurf Jump will allow the most crazy riders to land more aerial moves and above all i twill help to create a wonderful show right in front of the beach on Saturday night. The following days promise us some great moments. The wind is already blowing this morning in the lagoon, smoothing the small turquoise chops. The riders will meet at 10am for the first Windsurf Poker Party of the history.
A bluffing night
As the theme of this third edition of the Freetyle Project is poker, all the participants settled around the official poker table at the beginning of the night to bid in and play until the end. But our windsurfers will not let the game bluff over them that easily. Moreover : the winners of this game will get some Jokers, allowing them on the water to have several try for their move (otherwise they will have on try per combination only). Colin Hemet, official speaker and croupier of the event, leads the game with a master hand. Anthony, Adrien, Antoine and Manu began to play hard but finally are out very quickly, nearly at the very beginning of the game. No joker for them. The parallel between poker and a heat on the water is very easy : concentration, strictness, stress management and goldsmith’s art of the moves. And, as if it was by chance, the Freestyle World Champion Steven Vanbroekoven who won the game in front of his two opponents Nico and Romain. He now has 3 Jokers in the pocket, while Nico has two and Romain one, emphasizing on his leading position.
