Taty : I had a great time at The Mission.
11th September 2007
There was 300 competitors including Gollito and Me (Taty Frans).
SATURDAY: I compete in the slalom but my board 101 Isonic and sail TR-3 8.4 was to small and competing against the other Dutch guys with formula boards they where planing much faster then I, but I had fun and that's the part of the mission event..
Also there was the battle of the giants which Kevin Mevissen he did a huge flaka going on the Redbull ramp. The BBQ was good. At the night we had giving free stuff to the huge crowd that was presented at the festival, We all party till the morning. Gollito and I didn't sleep the whole day.
SUNDAY: Two races of slalom, wind was very light, I didn't do race 3 wind was very very light and as I didn't sleep the whole night I was tired and had to relax. So the final race I did and finish 3rd but pumped a lot. Everybody was on Formula boards and with big sails. The 4th race I toke the MS02 9.0 sail. I can say that this sail is really good. I kinda like the bigger MS-2 sizes better than the TR-3 big sizes.. but that's my feeling on the sails.
Prize giving was also on Sunday, The kids like big names in windsurfing to be there they like to talk and ask questions and like I said just being there and to make this event bigger feels great.
300 competitors plus with fans at the festival there would have been about a thousand people.
A LOT and A LOT of free stuff have been giving and thrown to the crowds.. I saw competitors won: Boards, sails, free dinner, cash, and much more.. Pro riders were: Tonky, Taty, Gollito, Arnon Dagan, Remko De Werde, Kevin Mevissen, Peter Volwater.
See you on The 2008 Mission.
