QUEEN OF POP
The following afternoon we drove to Warsaw, where we met Doda, Poland’s most famous pop star. Doda and her manager are windsurfing fans – making their way to Fuerteventura every year for the PWA contest – and told us that this year they’re already looking forward to the PWA indoor event. They mentioned that the host stadium named ‘Narodowy’, or National Stadium, can seat up to 60,000 spectators. Interestingly, a closable roof malfunction saw the stadium flood not so long ago and that’s how the idea to host a windsurfing event indoors there came about. The next morning we drove down to take a look at the stadium. It’s a massive modern football stadium and it’s hard to believe that it will be transformed into a windsurfing arena. In front of the stadium we imagined our next windsurfing trip to Poland, here in the middle of the country’s biggest city. And then, we’ll probably be one of the few riders in the stadium who have already really windsurfed Poland. PS
