The Monsaraz Lago Alqueva 2015, come to a end, it’s a pity because was a great event for the first event of the year in European Cup we start with a big fleet 42 guys, may be 2015 will be a great year for Formula Windsurfing for Portugal was very good, every year the fleet is growing a lot and now is the biggest class of Windsurfing in Portugal.
In this event we had everything, fantastic place, music in the event area, good food, good wine, all kind of wind and a fantastic fleet of competitors with their families. In the first 3 days we had very light and unstable winds; with shifty & tricky conditions, and because of that in the first 3 days we only had 3 races. It was the opposite on the last day of the event. We had lots of sunshine but a very strong wind between 22 to 32 knots of wind, strong conditions for Formula in this last day and we had to wait some hours. The organization had some problems to fix the marks, but after 2 hours we finally had two races back to back, fast races with strong wind – the good thing was we had flat water !
At the end of the championship everyone was happy with very good conditions for competitors and their families. Alqueva is a fantastic place, everyone that came this year wants to come in 2016, and already the competitors and the organization is already starting to work for next year to be better than this year.
The first 3 places were: POR 5 – Miguel Martinho; ESP 14 – Juan Vieito; POR 78 – Bruno Bertholo
Best regards
