Unfortunately Just before the event In Fuerteventura I’ve lost my laptop that’s why I didn’t upload Any news on my website. Now everything is back in normal situation so I will keep you up to date. In a summary my last weeks I stayed in Fuerteventura training for the next PWA even. The competition started on the 24^th of July.  There were 42 registered riders. All of them showed very high level and all of them wanted to fight hard for good result.On the first day of the contest the wind was really strong for my 4.2 sail. That day I couldn’t find a good rhythm and I lost two heats. Not the best start but we were planning to do 3 double eliminations that’s why I forgot about the first day and concentrated on making my results better. Marcilio Browne won the first double elimination with Ricardo Campello in second who won 6 heats in a row to come from 7^th place all the way up to the final. Third was Gollito Estredo and fourth was Tonky Frans. All of them did great combinations like spock into culo, shove it spock or ponch flaka. On the next day the conditions where almost the same except there where bigger waves so it was possible to do some air moves as well. In the first heat I straight went against Ricardo Campello. I had a good heat, in the beginning I did a perfect burner and after that a nice shove it spock. Ricardo sailed very well and the battle was close. In the end of the heat Ricardo did a perfect Culo and I answered with a double gozzada but it was not enough to beat three times world champion. In the next double elimination I met Andre Paskowski, the heat was very close and the judges decided that Andre sailed better only because I crashed my burner. We did almost exactly the same moves expect that burner. Decision 2 to 1 and a 0.5 point difference. That day was a lot better for me that the day one. I sailed a lot better and slowly I started to advance in the ranking. Next day was again a single and a double elimination. In the single elimination I won with Nicola Akgazcyan and afterwards I lost with Kiri Thode but also after a close fight. In the double elimination I met Julien Quentel. I finished a double elimination on the 13^th place. The big battle for victory in this event was between Marcilio Browne and Gollito Estredo. Marcilio sailed really constant that’s why already after two eliminations he was a winner. Second position went to Gollito Estredo and third went to Ricardo Campello. For me this event was not too bad except that first day. If I would do a bit better on the first day then I would finish a lot higher in the overall ranking. After three double eliminations I finished on 20^th place. I’m really happy about moves which I have done in my heats against the best guys. I lost with small point difference which gives hope for future events. After Fuerteventura I’m 15^th in the overall ranking after three PWA events and I hope I can advance few more places in the next event in Sylt. Now I’m back home in Krakow preparing for the freestyle clinic which I’m doing in Egypt called “Show off 2008”. More info’s about that soon. I go to Egypt on the 13^th of August.

I will keep you up to date…
