Optakt til PWA World Cup i Guincho 2006
Årets næste PWA stævne ved at være på trapperne. Og efter der ikke var noget resultat ved det sidste i Podersdorf, er PWA feltet for alvor tændte på at få point på wave-kontoen
Guincho er et populært stop på PWA turen. Det ligger lidt nord for Lissabon på den portugisiske atlanterhavskyst og kan, når vejret vil, virkelig give windsurferne kam til deres hår.
Sidste år vandt Matt Pritchard foran Kauli Seadi og Alex Mussolini.
Listen af forhåndstilmeldte er ganske imponerende. På nuværende tidspunkt taler vi 15 kvinder og 55 mænd

Riders.dk har lige fået 3 hurtige fra Soul-surferen på Canarisk Windsurf SU Frank Díaz E-200
Last time we heard from you you were heading to Maui. Did it turn out to be every thing you dreamed it would be?
Yes, I spend three months there. It is a really quiet and nice place, where you can improve a lot and fast.
For first time in my life I was feeling free, was so good to sailing together with the whales and turtles.
Also I have a lot of respect with locals.
You feel better prepared for this season. Has it improved your wave-surfing?
I am feeling more surely, I think I should have to improve my starboard tack sailing but I feel more motivated.
I learned a lot of good stuff at Hookipa. I broke too much gear too, but I am not complaining.
What are you expectations for the upcoming event in Guincho?
I hope to do a good result like everybody looking for, but on the other hand I feel nervous because it is my first event with starboard tack wind.
I am looking forward to do good at Guincho.
