PWA Worldcup in the Netherlands:
A historic moment, having the World Cup back in Holland. The last World Cup has been in Zandvoort back in 2000, 
so it has been a while. Not having been proparly healed, the organizers of the World Cup at PWA DAM7 asked me if I could 
fulfill the roll as a speaker, during the event for both PWA and EFPT competitions. Eventually that was a small part of my
Job at DAM7. It became clear, that I could help out a lot more for both PWA and the EFPT. I helped out with the media, 
the riders, the riders tent, registration, price giving, coordination, rescue-guards, for the crew etc To sum it up; 
A great learning experience working together with a great team. It was kind of weird to stand on the other side, 
instead of on the water, though I was glad that I could invest my knowledge and my skills to help out with this great 
World Cup event. So much positive energy :)

The Mission XL 9th edition
The 9th. edition of the Mission. Great winds, big prices at the tombola and huge party. Great action for the audience, free lessons provided. Giving more people the chance entering the sports and lot’s of activities for the visitors. The weather forecast was predicting a storm for the whole weekend, eventually this actually never took place and on friday we’ve had 12-20 knots of wind. Perfect for a the annual slalom competition. The whole day there have been quite some intense racing and in the late afternoon a nice freestyle demonstration. During the freestyle show “battle of the giants” a big shower kicked in and the wind suddenly disappeared, so a mixed show of first power moves and later light wind show. Still giving away a great show for the audience. Later that evening the party started, the atmosphere was great. And during the tombola there was a big chance to win nice prices like wetsuits, boar bags, masts, booms and they even gave away a sail and a board. Aswell for Sunday the wind direction was slightly different, onshore and now even more strong with a average of 15-25 knots. All together a great event event for any windsurfer and non-windsurfer.
