[@Freedo1234]

Exciting , very nice.

[@fabienh3943]

Nice footage. Some comments would have been a +. At least the music was not numbing. Still a way to go to get windsurfing back on tracks unfortunately.

[@alessandrozirpoli3908]

that's cool!!!

[@herenkapsalon]

the winner had a noth sail, not neill pride and a small board, not a starboard

[@steliosbmx]

these are like RS:X but deferent brand

[@vincegum974]

And RS:X is course racing...upwind/downwind/reach. PWA Slalom is downwind(jibe) every turn .

why are they so bad at jibing ? take a look at a 20 year old video of bjørn dunkerbeck and see how much faster and better he jibes

[@fabienh3943]

Might be the fact the boards back then needed higher skills but still turned faster or might be the fact that there's hardly anything to earn on the circuit today and a pro today is not exactly a pro of 20 years ago?

[@klausschroer4013]

maybe the wind was not strong enough. so they take very big sails ...and the jibes dont look soo elegant with big sails
