Lo sbarco dei mille è ormai vicino! La gara più attesa dell’anno comincia a prendere corpo…  1000 concorrenti sulla linea di partenza a Gruissan dal 13 al 16 maggio 2010 per questa decima edizione! E pensare che nel 2001 alla prima edizione di questa gara fortemente voluta da Philippe Bru (Beach Concept) e Gille Debrix (il boss di Wind Magazine) gli iscritti erano “solo” 100! E per questa la decima edizione non mancheranno le sorprese… che vi sveleremo via, via nelle prossime settimane. Tanto per cominciare avete dato un occhio alla locandina della gara?! Pensiamo proprio che le guest stars si sprecheranno per questo evento!

THEY WERE 110 COMPETITORS IN GRUISSAN IN 2001. THE « DEFIEURS » WILL BE 1000 IN 2010 ON THE STARTING LINE OF THE DEFI WIND. IN LESS THAN A DECADE, THE DEFI WIND HAS BECOME THE MOST POPULAR WINDSURF EVENT IN THE WORLD!
A unique concept Launched by Philippe Bru (Beach Concept) and Gille Debrix (Editor in chief of Wind Magazine), this amazing event is based on a very simple idea: bring together in the same place, at the same moment, and on the same starting line all windsurfers, amateurs and professionals. Participating in the Defi Wind means not only sailing with the best specialists of the discipline but also realizing its own best performance on this great race. This is the real strength of this event, where pleasure and surpassing oneself are the only true values to handle.
1000 entrants only…
This year, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the event, we will welcome 1000 windsurfers to dash forward along the Gruissan coast… But for 4 years now, the organizers have to limit the maximum number of entrants to satisfy security and organization requirement on such a huge event! Last year, more than 1500 entry requests have been received in 3 days after the registrations opened, while only 900 entrants could be accepted. The opening of the registrations has now become a date not to miss for every windsurfer. To take part into the event only one thing to do: register online from the official website of the Défi Wind “www.defiwind.com”.
A world-wide reputation
Spectacular images of the Defi Wind showed up quickly all round the world thanks to the medias and seduced windsurfers from Europe but also from Australia, Russia, New Zealand or even USA. These passionate riders, coming each year more numerous, don’t hesitate to cover hundreds of kilometres to take part into the Défi Wind, which definitely is the only event of the kind in the whole world!
