First FW events for the season

Steve Allen just won the Euro Challenger event in Rewal Poland 24 – 26 Jully. Followed by another win at the Allegro Cup Gran Prix 29 – 02 August in Leba Poland making it the 5th time in a row that Steve won this event.

It was an amazing achievement for me to win these events again as I had just had the longest break that I had ever had from windsurfing. Over the long Polish winter and taking part in the Dancing with Stars contest made for around 7 months off the water.
I am really stoked to be back on the board and back in the top again.
I was very disappointed though after breaking my best in the last race of the Euro Challenger event in Rewal.
This made it much more difficult to win in Leba as my speed was quite a bit less on my other fin, meaning I had to race better.

I am now in Sopot Poland for the second Gran Prix event which is also the FW European Championships, from the 4th – 8th August.
I am currently in 2nd after the first two days of racing with the points very close as we have been racing in a split fleet format.
Tomorrow we will switch to split the fleet into Gold and silver groups, meaning all the top guys will finally be racing against each other for the first time in the event. So the real racing starts.
