Summer With the AWT-Part 2

Summer With the AWT-Part 2

by Ezzy News / Tuesday, 16 August 2011 / Published in Russ Faurot

The second stop on the American Windsurfing Tour brought me to Pistol River, in Oregon.  Pistol is always a fun place to sail because it is usually very windy.  I use 3.7 or 4.2 most of the time.  It’s one of my favorite places to jump.  My jumping setup is a really fast 65L OES WavePro board and my 3.7 Ezzy Panther III.  I feel like I can really go big, while staying under control with the compact gear.  Here’s a shot for evidence!  Photo by Trudy Lary.

As far as the competition goes, I felt like I sailed pretty well.  I made it through a couple heats and ran into an on form Kai Lenny.  That was it for me.  For Pistol, I managed to place an overall 21st out of 33 total Expert Division sailors.  I would still like to place higher, but it was definitely an improvement over Waddell, results-wise, for me.

Again, the local media pointed it’s lens at me.  My sailing was featured on the two days that the local ABC news station covered our event.  I wasn’t interviewed, but a lot of the action was focused on me.  I guess they liked something they saw.

Here are the two videos.
