First Defi race of 2018.

result: 85th place out of 1300 riders

Tricky conditions with 35-40 knots at the start. Rounded the first mark around 25th place and got stuck for about two minutes due to the arriving surfers blocking the wind at mark number 1. Could not stay afloat on my 74 liter board. After about 100 surfers passed me a catch up race started.

Bouy number two at Gruissan was upwind so tricky to reach. The second lap went perfect, great speeds to the mark at Port la Nouvelle and upwind back to the finish line.

After the race played out with 6.4 and manta 61 and went a couple of time to Port la Nouvelle and back
