Bjorn about One Hour Classic

The One Hour Classic was a great event. We were pretty lucky with the conditions, even if normally you don’t need to be any lucky in Garda! I mean: friday was rainy with thunderstorms, while saturday and Sunday we had sunshine and beautiful weather.The event was limited to 100 riders and was overbooked, with not a single place left, that shows that everybody wants to compete. There were a lot of young kids, a lot of young boys, a lot of young girls and all the ages as well, so that was really cool to see with the mix between the Pros of the World Cup and also the amateurs from the area and a great mix of big nice smiles. On and off the water, which is very important as well.Garda Lake is very important for central Europe and Windsurfing in general and Circolo Surf Torbole, that is so always busy, proves what I believe: that windsurfing is growing and is going to be big again, so all this helps that, support that, and makes Garda what it used to be in windsurfing, the heart of Central European windsurfers.My plans, after being on AV-Boards, is definitely to come back and support One Hour Classic for next year again, and so I told the organizers that they can already sign me up! I’m ready and hopefully we can have another great experience, even if a better spirit than this year which is hard to beat! But I’m sure that if everybody will come back with this great spirit, this can happens!So keep the spirit up! Go windsurfing, bring your kids to windsurfing centers and this way we’ll have more people enjoying the competitions next years! See you then! Ciao!
