PWA Bonaire 2014

PWA Freestyle Bonaire — 2^nd place!

My first time Bonaire…. And it was amazing!

The best place I have been for windsurfing… no doubt what-so-

ever: P! Everything is perfect…the wind, the temperature, the people, the colours… and I can go on for this for a long time.

After 2 single and 2 double eliminations I was on the 2^nd place, sailing 2 finals in both the double eliminations. I am super stoked with my result!

My first single elimination wasn’t that good….. with a shared 5th place and sailing a bad heat I wasn’t really happy yet. Having the first night ever having to puke all the time and only sleeping for a few hours… I somehow got the energy to sail again. The conditions were perfect, I was really confident in my heats and by the time I had to sail I was full of energy again….. I could work my way up the ladder sailing some good heats and the best of all I got my first ever PODIUM during an event!

The 4^th day the conditions were crazy! I was fully overpowered on 4.4 but with the other sails I was crashing all the time…. So whatever…. Just like most of the guys I was on 4.4 :P. So after the second single elimination, not sailing a really good losers final I was on the 4^th place.

And again feeling super confident, having perfect conditions and having had a good night of sleep… The second double elimination was started! Again I managed to work my way up the ladder, having some really close heats against Yoli, Oda & Arrianne.

I am super happy about the heats I sailed landing all my moves. Congratzz Kiri & Sarah. Never saw the level this high!

I was on 4.4 Freek all the time, whether I was overpowered, underpowered or just perfect…..I just love the 4.4! The good thing about it is…. I didn’t had to bring a lot of sails to the beach J

Thanks to all my sponsors who helped me achieving this….. Thanks!!!!! J

I have enjoyed every moment of Bonaire and hope to be back soon! Now I have to focus on some schoolwork for another week and than it’s time for holiday… whooh! Next stop Fuerteventuraaaaaa!
