European Funboard Expression - Windsurfing Championships

by Steve Palier on 25 Sep 2011 European Funboard Expression wave and freestyle windsurfing championships will take place on the shores of Six Fours les Plages, South France, from October 29th to November 2nd. The two most expressive disciplines in windsurfing will again be highlighted on this third edition of the event.

This event is organized by the dynamic local windsurf club Six Fours Windsurf Organisation and managed by Fred Bosson, It also gathers professionals and amateurs not only from all over France but also Germany, Italy and even the Netherlands. Open to all levels and all ages, the European Funboard Expression is a great meeting for all nationalities addicted to windsurfing.

During the five days, the organization will adapt the championships schedule and rules according to the local conditions, in order to launch either a wave contest or freestyle battles. This will count for both the National Funboard and the European Freestyle Pro Kids.

The National Funboard Expression gathers the two extremist windsurfing disciplines, wave and freestyle, open to all nationalities, levels and ages. This race allows the riders to compete either in the freestyle discipline or in the wave discipline and they may also do both disciplines during this event.

Issued from the famous European Freestyle championship EFPT, the European Freestyle Pro Kids Tour (EFPkT) is all about Freestyle! The race only concerns the young freestylers bellow the age of 20. After tour stops that had been run in England, Netherlands, Belgium and Turkey this season, France and the city of Six Fours les Plages have been chosen again to organize the finals of this European circuit.

At this final tour stop, the winners will be crowned with the attribution of EFPkT European Champions titles for each category.

So stay tuned from October 29th to November 2nd as we again expect a five day showdown on the Southern shores of France. If the local Mistral is here to play be sure to expect a bunch of cool wave and freestyle action from riders like Adrien Bosson (EFE 2010 overall winner), Vincent Mellouet (EFE 2009 overall winner), German Valentin Böckler (2010 EFPkT European champion), Italian Mattia Fabrizzi (2010 EFPkT Six Fours winner) or young Dutch Tim Ruyssenars (2010 EFPkT European champion -17)!
