Martinique and the spot of Les Trois Ilets is growing in reputation and popularity – not only on the kitesurfing scene, but it is also attracting the finest windsurfers in the world! In the last 3 weeks the French Olympic Windsurfing Team, followed by slalom World Champion Antoine Albeau and PWA rider Cyril Moussilmani have enjoyed the FBC center welcome and facilities for their training. If it’s good enough for them …… what are you waiting for?!
This week sees the start of the much anticipated Wave Show starring the master of Freestyle, and youngest ever (triple!) PWA Freestyle Champion GOLLITO Estredo (V-01). Expect 3 days stacked with competitions, demos, and partying, as well as 3 new sports added to the show – Wakeboarding, Kitesurfing and Freestyle Jet Skiing! We will have a full event report for you on our next newsletter. In the meantime – check out some dream wave-sailing by Jean-Seb in St. Martin HERE Yes, the rig and the sailor are both fine!
Our Moulay center opens next week and will be open every day from 10am–7pm. The Café Resto on site will also be open every night – with yummy traditional Moroccan meals on the menu 3 times per week. Expect the very best at FBC Morocco – Bruno is a keen wave-sailor (pic) and has made sure again this year that he has the top Fanatic NewWave TE, NewWave Twin TE and FreeWaves, plus extra light masts and Fanatic SUP’s. Don’t forget - there are a few spaces left for the Fanatic Pro WAVE Clinic with Tom Brendt on 28th April–3rd May. Full information and booking HERE
