Riders - Cool Feedback from PWA World Cup Guincho

The first PWA wave event of the season 2006 took place at Guincho/ Portugal last week. The famous killer shorebreak was on fire just for the very last day. So the PWA rippers had a lot of time to hang out and check the web. The dominate topic for most of the riders was the Red Bull Storm Chase. Check out what some of the worlds best windsurfers think about the upcoming storm event in Northern Europe: 

John Skye (GB)
„The Red Bull Storm Chase event is a really good idea. For me sailing in storms was one of the most addictive parts of windsurfing. Still I can remember all the really stormy days I sailed. Many of the others have all blended into one, but the crazy out of control days stick in the mind forever. I hope I get voted in!!!"

Kauli Seadi (BRA)
„Events like this should happen all over the world. It`s a great concept. Searching for big waves produced by huge storms. You should go out for windsurfing when it`s windy. At the Red Bull Storm Chase it will be. That`s positive sure!”

Boujmaa Gouilloul (M)
„For me the Red Bull Storm Chase seems to be amazing and very exiting. Everybody waits for the one and only day to surf like however he feels; without judges putting pressure on you. Everybody can enjoy the storm with its thrilling conditions to the fullest !“

Dionicio Guadagnino (V)
„What a pity the Red Bull Storm Chase is just for Northern European Countries. It is a great idea that will push our sport fast forward and helps our image to move away from „lazy sunnyboy“. I look forward to the footage and hope that we will have another Storm Chase around the world next year !“

Hans Kristian Waarum (NOR)
„Well – first of all it sounds like much fun! I think the Red Bull Storm Chase will be a great event that offers the opportunity to sail in most radical conditions our land can offer.“ 

Nayra Alonso (E)
„All I can say is that I have already registered even though I am not from a country that is part of the Red Bull Storm Chase. You can see – I am absolutely addicted to the idea of the Red Bull Storm Chase.“
