Between 24th July and 08th August we had three hard competition in Formula Windsurfing which took place in Poland. Last one was European Championships taking place at my home spot in Sopot.

That was really exhausting to do those events one just after another, not even physically but more hard was to focus on racing for 12 days in row. All this tour finished for me very successfully. I won all of  three events, and defended the European Champ title in Sopot!!! I’m extremely happy of that!


In Sopot we had two days of racing with maximum 4 races a day. As I know my home spot well, and we had north-east winds those are the days which I like a lot, I knew the tactic tricks exactly.

Maarja EST 84, Aga POL19 and Sarah ARM 1 where really fast, pushing hard so I was thinking all the time how to use my knowlage about the place and it worked out:)

I’m also very happy about my 10.0 TR-5 that I could race on for some time and I felt super-fast on it. For me this 2 weeks where just great! Apart from results, it was just huge experience to gain there, as conditions were different at each regatta. I’m very happy, and I feel strong to play Formula races, just can’t wait for the Worlds in Santa Pola!

Now we are in Turkey for slalom PWA, I fill on the water that I’m a little bit tired of racing but I’ll try hard to bring it to the end as good as I can.
