/in /by

The first PWA World Tour Windsurfing Slalom stop is finished and two very good results for the Patrik Windsurf International team!

The wind did not really coolaborate in France and in 5 days of racing only 1 race could be completed in very light winds.
However, the conditions were really tricky still Maëlle Guilbaud Windsurf/ Maëlle Guilbaud and Julien Quentel managed to show their strong performance and stayed just behind the podium.

Mealle finished 4th and Julien finished 6th. This is a very good start in to 2019 and we are looking forward to seeing them right on the top!

Congrats also to Alexano Sincou/ Alexandre Cousin FRA 752 who was foiling the whole time that conditions were not suitable, Steve Allen, adrian beholz, Babou Benjamin Augé, Marianne Rautelin…

PWA Fuertaventura 2018

/in /by

This year Fuertaventura, did not deliver the way we are used to. Nevertheless we saw quite some action and some good results of the Patrik Windsurf International!

After a good wind in the single elimination unfortunately, the wind did not show up the last 3 days so the half double elimination counted. Mattia Fabrizi was on a very good climb back in the double but was stopped by no wind to finally share the 9th place. Still a top 10 result!

While in slalom Quentel Julien started with an amazing 2nd place and was sailing good throughout the event, but was a bit unlucky in the last race where he lost 2 places to finish 6th.
Alexandre Cousin FRA 752 was on form too and made two winner finals. With good speed he managed to finish 11th, best this season so far.

 

We are looking forward to the final event in Sylt where many things can change!

See you next year Fuerteventura!

Thanks so Heidi Ulrich Patrik has a new WORLD RECORD in Outright Nautical Mile.
In a close battle with other women, she managed to break the 12 years old record of Zara Davis that was 34,74 knots with an impressive 35,91 knots over 1 mile. Her top speed was 40,1 knots. Congratulations!!!!

On the same day also the NATIONAL SWISS RECORD on Outright Nautical Mile was broken by Christian Arnold with 38,52 knots. Bravo!

The event is not over yet and we are looking forward to some more records.
As Andrea Baldini would say: “Forever speed!!!”

PATRIK formula board is officially the fastest in Europe!!!

/in /by

Janis Preiss and Steve Allen brought to Patrik two more European titles! The two guys just dominated the Formula European Championship on PATRIK formula boards.
Janis won the fin class in front of Steve, while in foil class it was just the opposite. So the board performed no matter what you put under it.
Furthermore, Wojtek Brzozowski finished 4th and Tristen Erik Kivi 5th in fin class which means 4 out of top 5 were on PATRIK boards!!!

A big congratulation to all the racers to finish one of the hardest contest in Formula Windsurfing Class history with 28 races done!
