The first PWA Freestyle-Event 2012 witnessed a strong performance of our team riders, who all made it into the Top-17.
The most outstanding result is Taty´s second place. He only had to give in to 4-times World Champion Gollito Estredo in a tight final. On his way he beat among others Yarden Meir, Davy Scheffers and the reigning champion Steven van Broekhoven.
Nicolas Akgazciyan, Björn Saragoza (both 5.) and Yarden Meir (9.) also sailed very strong heats finishing in the Top-10.
Adi Beholz was voted “PWA Sailor of the day“ for his great performance on the first day of sailing. He was only beaten by current Vize-World Champion Kiri Thode and could not come back in the Double Elimination as the wind died down.
Our Russian team rider Yegor Popretinskiy (17.) also performed very well and only lost to Julian Mas in a close battle.
Congratulations to all riders on a great season opener and good luck for the upcoming events
