Krafty does 'Tour Duf Windsurf' 2008 Print

As previously advertised on here, Krafty followed his own advice and incorporated the 2008 Tour Duf Windsurf event  with a family summer break ..... and also a good opportunity to fully test the Flexcell solar panel ;-)

Video added ......

In brief, Krafty entered the FUNBOARD fleet for the 6 event series armed with an Exocet S-Cross 115 Pro and a couple of Gaastra GTX rigs (7.0m & 8.0m). Luckily he'd arranged a rendevous with Jean-Batiste from Exocet to borrow the proto-type Warp S 85 Pro-Model for light wind action.

Days one and two were both windy, and the 7.0m could have been considered a little on the large side, but for the following 4 days, competition was against guys using formula kit !!

Keeping a long story short, Krafty finished 5th overall in the fleet and first 'Master', and was really pleased with both the result and also the quality of the event itself.

Sounds like he'll be doing this event again sometime ... official line from French press ...
