Steven van Broeckhoven wins the second EFPT tour stop in Sardina in front of Loick Spicher, who made his first international podium of his career and Giovanni Passani.
On the final day, after three days with very light wind, the wait was over and the single elimination got recommenced at 12.00 am. Despite the gusty lighter wind conditions, the freestylers put on a great show in the 10 min heats.
Steven Van Broeckhoven, who was a bit disappointed with his 5th place at the EFPT event in Austria, won against French freestyler Antony Ruenes and tour-leader Tonky Frans. The Belgian multiple European Freestyle Champion and PWA Freestyle World Champion met Swiss Loick Spicher in the winners final but he didn’t leave Spicher much chance and put down one of the highest scoring heats of the competition. The judges marked down a Culo, a regular Chachoo and an Air Funnell on starboard tack and a Barracuda, a Shaka and a Lollypop on porttack to count. Like this Van Broeckhoven proved once again his high technical skills and diversity in the changeable conditions.
