Defi wind Japan 6th place for Taty Frans San!
It’s the most challenging event/competition I have ever did since my career as a professional windsurfer.
So to be invited and flew all the way to this beautiful island miyako japan and to compete with some of the world best in some hard core conditions is a honor and a great experience.
Thru out the days of the event I said to myself let’s fight for the top places, stay focus and sail strong but then during the races some mistakes and bad luck was presented it self,
being to careful at 4 out of 5 the starts, crashing 50m before the finish line in race #3,
hit a plastic water bottle just few seconds after the start line, but got back up during that crash in race 4 and from last to place 10th is a good come back I would say.
Hey, it is what it is, it could have been much worse, in the end I am here alive and smiling and a 6th is acceptable.
