In the first of a new series, John Carter grills PWA sailors from each discipline on all aspects of life on tour. From the big hitters at the top, through the mid-fleet wannabees and even some rookie riders crawling up through the ranks, we’ll find out what drives these athletes to follow their dreams and sign up to the ultimate challenge in competitive windsurfing – the PWA World Tour.
This month we talk to a cross section of the slalom fleet to find out how important tuning is, what can make slalom more exciting, who they train with and why the old guard are still running the show.
