Bjorn Dunkerbeck managed to secure the PWA slalom world title with still one event to go. Congratulations to Bjorn! Good to see someone else winning again. Not that I have anything against Antoine Albeau but after winning several world titles in a row it is good to see somebody else win again. The same happened a while back in the Formula 1 where Michael Schumacher was taking all the wins successively. That became a bit boring after a while.

In my opinion it would even be better to see someone win who has never won before instead of Bjorn, Ben van der Steen for example. That will shows to the other windsurfers that it’s still possible to win a world title between all the “old” guys. On the other hand Bjorn Dunkerbeck and Antoine Albeau show how incredible talented they are because they are so consistent in their performances over the years.

Let’s see what will happen in Sylt, Germany. That will be the last race/slalom stop of the PWA Tour 2011.

Kauli Seadi is looking back on the Cabo Verde PWA World Cup event. Nice to see how positive his approach is. The next video gives an impression about how Antoine Albeau is living. The only downside, it’s in French…

Another remarkable sponsor switch in the windsurfing world. World champion Antoine albeau will leave his Isonic Starboards and switches them for the Slalom boards from JP Australia. Rumors about Antoine switching were everywhere, especially after dunkerbeck switched to Starboard. Antoine Albeau signed a three years contract with his new sponsor. A quote from himself:

This was a rather big decision for me. I am glad that I went for it and I am very happy that I will be part of JP next year. I really look forward to work with Werner Gnigler and the whole JP team. I will be very involved in the development of the performance oriented boards within the JP line and I can’t wait to get started.

I am really looking forward to the new PWA world tour season to see how all the sponsor switches will effect the rankings.

Two top windsurfers, Antoine Albeay and Guy Cribb, are going to cross the channel. They are not doing this on a quiet Sunday afternoon with 4 bft. No, they are planning this trip when the next storm is knocking on the door.

This attempt is not without a cause. Antoine and Guy are asking attention for the Ellen MacArthur Trust and their french counterpart A chacun son cap. These Organisations are working hard for kids with cancer leukemia or some other horrible decease. The Ellen Mac Arthur Trust tries to bring some joy in the lives of these youngsters by introducing them to seasailing.

You can sponsor the project here.
