THE CONCEPT

The European Pro Windsurfing Tour is all about making competitions around Europe for riders that are talented and want to see a future within windsurfing. Mostly it is for the young guys coming into the racing scene, who may not have the money to travel to places like Japan or New Caledonia. On this tour they can look forward to a bright future where they can drive in their van, bring their friends and travel together with the minimum of costs. That side of it is very important for me. That reminds me of the time when I was young. I just wanted to compete, but of course couldn't afford to travel everywhere or anywhere. When I could afford to go, I just loved that. I can see the fire in the eyes of these new kids on the scene. A lot of these young guys are training really hard, but in reality, what are they actually training for?
