World Champ E-mail
Written by Kevin Pritchard

So I got this cool email saying I was world champ... ha ha.. well, if they had the overall like they had in 2000 I think I would have been overall world champ for the last 8 years... Oh well.. Check out the email and the link to Windsurf Journal .com...  I liked it anyhow..

HI Kevin,

Just found an interesting article on the French website
Windsurfingjournal.com, here's the translation (loading may take a while)
http://babelfish.yahoo.com/translate_url?doit=done&tt=url&intl=1&fr=bf-home&
trurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.windsurfjournal.com%2Ffrontblocks%2Fnews%2FPaperView.
asp%3Fid_papers%3D3735%26ID_BB_LANGUAGES%3D1&lp=fr_en&btnTrUrl=Translate

The English is rather crappy (wave = vague) but it breaks down like this,
there are two charts, one with the three PWA disciplines which crowns you as
Overall World Champion and one which inludes the speed world cup and this
crowns Peter Volwater as the overall wordl champion (much to my satisfaction
being a Dutchie)

The author of the article states that by reintroducing the overall title you
will get more wave/freestyle riders entering the slalom fleet, as taty Frans
and Josh Angulo did and perhaps more slalom riders entering into the wave
discipline, or freestylers entering into the wave discipline and vice versa.

Anyway just wanted to keep you posted on your latest world title and I am
curious what your thoughts are on the reintroduction of the Overall World
title and secondly who do you consider to be the better allround sailors out
there.

That's it for now, time to take a dip in the North sea cause the coming days
are going to be windy 25knts+! By the way if you think Sylt is cold add
another two months of cold weather and think about our water temeparture
next time you have a whipe out at Hookipa :)

Regards,

Jasper
 

Thanks Jasper and hope you are having fun in he North Sea.. Oh yeah, Hookipa today was firing. Wind, waves, sun, SICK!!!
