The notorious Lancelin Wind finally came through just after lunch time yesterday, with competitors anxious to get in the water at Ledge Point and compete for the title of fastest Windsurfer, Kitesurfer or Paddler in the Lancelin Ocean Classic, Ledge to Lancelin Marathon.

Kitesurfers and Windsurfers entered the water at the same time, delivering an absolute spectacle on the horizon for onlookers on the beach.

The competition was tooth and nail between Steve Allen, Windsurfer and Alty Frisby, Kitesurfer. Allen eventually taking the lead and the competition for the Windsurfing Category.

Karin Jaggi of Switzerland, proved she holds the women’s title for a reason, being the first woman to cross the line on Lancelin Beach.

Another competitor to hold on to his title is Brendan Rice, the 26 year old paddler winning his second Lancelin Ocean Classic title in as many years.

“2017 Ledge to Lancelin Ocean Classic went off perfectly this year. The wind kicked in at 12 noon giving us plenty of time to check our gear before the start. I chose my 8.6m R8 Severne sail with my 115 Patrik Air Inside board which felt just perfect, so easy and fast, I really look forward to the 2017 season. I am stoked to win here again with such a huge fleet of fast racers. I was also happy to pass all the kite surfers after they started on the water 100m ahead of us and had a 200m shorter first reach. Just one caught me back at the finish when I slowed to check where to go through the last marks. Thanks to the whole team making the race possible again.”
Steve Allan, Pro Windsurfer
