Obviously I'm very happy to win. What is more, this event is first big one in this season and it was productive for me to find out how am I prepared compared to other girls.

We had all kinds of wind and varied waves so it was just perfect to come through in all weather conditions. Sarah Hebert showed up excellent on the windy day. There was a passionate fight between us on Friday which was great fun and a learning experience.


I was going not too fast so finally I changed my fin and my board became much more stable and comfortable in this high wind, so I improved my speed a lot. I also could check how it works for me to have 9.2TR5 xt instead of 8.4 TR5 as my smallest sail, and it works perfect with 9.2, even if its more than 25 knots.

I could learn more tricks about tuning the sails, since Gonzalo was so kind to spend some time on explaining me. Generally I like all my TR5 a lot. I'm very happy and I feel really strong and eager for racing this year. Now Europeans in Sopot have already started, so I hope it will go for me as good as in Łeba. I'll fight and do everything to win it.


Straight after we go Turkey for PWA Slalom, so I'm vastly joyful to have so many events upcoming.

All the best
