PWA FUERTEVENTURA - pwaworldtour Event Preview: Are you ready for an intense week of explosive, gravity defying freestyle? From the 20th to the 26th July the men’s freestyle fleet will be returning to action, whilst the women will be making their first appearance on the 2013 PWA Freestyle World Tour. This year marks the 28th anniversary of world cups held on the beautiful golden sands of Sotavento, Fuerteventura, and it promises to be a brilliant week packed with the most explosive freestyle on the planet. Sotavento is located on the Southeast coast of Fuerteventura and has developed a world-class reputation over the years due to its year round sunshine, stunning golden beaches and most importantly its consistently nuclear winds, which create some of the most exhilarating conditions on the PWA World Tour. With nuclear winds peaking at around fifty knots combined with perfectly formed stunt ramps, Fuerteventura is a freestyle windsurfers paradise allowing the biggest and most powerful moves to be thrown at free will. Ones To Watch Men’s ----------------------------------- Anthony Ruenes (Tabou / Gaastra) looks as though he is back to his brilliant best after he opened up the year with fourth place in Austria, after a hugely impressive display. Ruenes sails with an almost unrivaled style on the water and if he can show the kind of form he did at the start of the season then the Frenchman will be vying for the top five positions and above come the end of the week. Tonky Frans (Tabou / Gaastra) be a major threat. The current European Freestyle Champion - Davy Scheffers - (Tabou / Gaastra) - fought his way back through the double elimination in Austria to claim fifth place overall after throwing some amazing tricks such as no-handed burners and huge air funnels. The Dutch maestro will be looking to continue his assault on the top five as he looks to transfer his success in Europe onto the world scene. Women’s ----------------------------------- The Queen of Freestyle - Sarah-Quita Offringa (Starboard / Gaastra / Mystic / Chris Benz / Maui Ultra Fins) - represents a formidable force given the fact that she is currently unbeaten on the PWA Freestyle World Tour for the past five years. The Aruban gem has the majority of the latest power moves in her artillery and as a result looks almost unbeatable, barring disaster. Expect to see explosive culos, burners and perfect konos as she goes in search of an incredible sixth freestyle world crown, at the age of just twenty-two.
