Alberto Menegatti Italian FW Champion
After four days of racing in Numana, Italy, Alberto Menegatti ITA-4 won the 2010 Italian Formula Windsurfing Champion title. Menegatti dominated the racing, scoring 5 firsts and 2 seconds. Congratulations Alberto!! We caught up with Alberto for 5 quick questions:
How were the conditions during the last event in Numana?
We pretty much had all type of conditions, starting with with 9-11knots the first day, then dropping the second day to barely planning conditions. Then it picked up to a blasting 30 knots on the last day.
Which gear did you use?
I used all my Formula sails, from the12,3 on the first 2 days, out planning even the lightest guys! Then switching to 11,5when the wind got to 15 knots and going down to the 10,7 on the last day.
That together with my Starboard HWR and my Z fins made the job!!!!
What is your secret to going really fast inFW?
I was born as a FW (formula windsurfing) sailor and I practice a lot on this discipline in the past years, and even if in the very last year I haven't been racing that much in FW I still have the mind and the speed for it. I have a very good tuning and feeling with my gear that allows me to fly in all conditions!!
And, you're in Sylt now. How are theconditions for racing?
The conditions are there, even though it’ssuper cold and I'm not used to the cold weather, but I’m sure that tomorrow we are going to goin the water racing. It’s going to be very tactical and hard for racing, andevery decision will count. But I’m here ready for it, hoping to use my 9,5one more time!!!
What are your goals for this year, next yearand in the next five years?
The season is basically over, and it’s time to setgoals for the next season.
My goal is to step in the Top 10 in the PWA in the nextseason and to enter in the Top 5 in the next five years. Wanting to Climb alsoin the FW Ranking and to get stable into the very top positions.
Thanks Alberto!

GoPro race action with Kurosh Kiani
About a week ago there was a historic event in Hvide Sande, Denmark just before the PWA worldcup in Klitmoller. A combined water sports event which included a long distance windsurfing race with some of the biggest names in windsurfing attending.
With 200 windsurfers and 100 kiters in the race it was action packed, and after the race Simmer's Kurosh Kiani found the time to do some cruising. He took his GoPro head cam to give everybody out there the feeling of how it is blasting around out there with your friends and guys like Antoine Albeau, Peter Volwater etc.
Check it out and enjoy!

West Kirby action
Wednesday was a great day for British speed sailing with a big turn out and a big forecast. Although conditions weren't quite perfect angle wise and the wind could have been stronger, Farrel O'Shea and myself managed to peak at 48 knots. The sails are working really well; incredibly easy to sail with and amazingly quick. I'm sure we can go way faster if the conditions allow us. I can't wait for the next big day...
Check out the video.
Cheers,
