Adam Sims is UK Freestyle Champion

Adam Sims:  “Of course I’m super happy to win this event, we had enough wind to compete and it was good to finally have an event on UK waters again. The level of the guys coming into the comp was super high and everyone wanted the win, in the end I was pleased with how I sailed given that I didn’t really like the conditions (or the number of people in the competition area…) and to be honest I can’t believe I made another podium, I truly thought it could be anyone’s game before and during the comp. Thanks to those that made the event happen and the support of my sponsors throughout 2015, it’s been a sick year so far!

I’ve landed it a lot in free-sailing but never tried it in competition. It’s not a power move at all but for some reason I was pretty stoked after this one small light wind move, maybe because of the cheers of appreciation from the beach :-).”

Ricardo Campello wins in Tow-in Final in Crozon France

Campello_takes_the_expression_session

Tow-in took centre stage again today with the final, consisting of yesterday’s top six sailors, taking place at 2:30pm. The wind did pick up slightly in the late afternoon, but a beach check soon revealed that the swell hadn’t improved to enough to allow the start of the main contest.

Ricardo Campello exploded into action on his first run to earn perfect 10s from the judges with a radical air burner 360 to instantly apply the pressure to the rest of the fleet.

Congratulation and thanks Ricardo for this blasting performance!
