2002 PWA Freestyle Qualifier Neuesiedler See Austria Registration

Registration day and start of the PWA Freestyle Qualifier in Podersdorf, Austria.

This event is known in the windsurfing world as THE windsurfing festival due to its' perfect set up and the amazing party week, which attracts ten thousand spectators and party animals from all over Europe every year.

Top ranked PWA freestyle riders like Web Pedrick (North Sails/AHD), Diony
Guadagnino (Neil Pryde/JP), Martin van Geenhoven (North Sails/AHD), Remko de Weerd (Gaastra/AHD) will not only face the Austrian freestyle pros like Michi Schweiger (Naish/Naish) Alex Humpel (Neil Pryde/JP) Frank Lewisch (Gaastra) and Christian Sammer (Arrows/F2) but also young, unknown talents who will try to do their best and kick some asses.

Bad luck though for Canadian top rider Eric Girard (Starboard) who came all the way from Maui but had to take the next plane home due to an infection.

The party in Austria would not be the same without Brian Talma (Arrows/F2) the Irie man from Barbados. Tonight at 10 p.m. he will be opening at the official opening ceremony the party week together with the 32 man fleet.
Over 1000 people are expected!

The riders got their gear together today and most of them rigged sail sizes between 4,7 and 6,4. The wind forecast for tomorrow is promising!!

Stay tuned!
