REPORT

The Defi Wind Japan 2020 begins tomorrow! More than 100 riders will be gathered on the starting line from tomorrow on and for four days on the heavenly spot of Maehama beach in Miyakojima (Okinawa, Japan). Japanese and European weekend racers will have the opportunity to take on the many champions who have made the trip, such as the reigning PWA Slalom world champions Pierre Mortefon and Delphine Cousin. Of course, they will also be able to compare themselves to the living legends Antoine Albeau (25x World Champion) and Björn Dunkerbeck (44 x World Champion). For this first competition of the season between the best windsurfers in the world, we can definitely trust Arnon Dagan, Taty Frans, Jordy Vonk, Antoine Questel, Julien Quentel, Alexandre Cousin, Marion Mortefon or Kevin Grosjean and many others to give the crowd favourites a run for their money. The game is extremely open so clever is the one who could bet on the podium for tomorrow’s long distances. The north wind has been blowing well those past days to delight the participants already present, with many able to work on their perfect gear setups! Wind should continue to blow tomorrow to start the first race in the morning. According to local tradition, the Defi Wind Japan 2020 was blessed through a traditional prayer gathering all the participants tonight.

After the lively opening ceremony of traditional Miyakojima shows, the start time was given as 9 am local time tomorrow morning! Stay tuned !
