2 x Starboard Team Riders on the Wave Podium in the PWA/IWT Peru » Starboard Windsurfing

Federico Morisio about his final heat:

“Overall it was a long and epic day of riding. We started in quite tricky conditions and the final heat was just epic. The waves were more than mast high and very long. The perfect conditions. I was on my 4.8 and my Starboard Hyper 88L. The board worked amazingly. It allows me to go easily upwind and I had some extra speed in those bigger waves. I am happy with my performance throughout the whole event. I was very consistent and scored around 14-15 points in the last 3 rounds. During the final heat, I experienced a very unlucky situation when my gear got disconnected and I lost my board. After 10 minutes of swimming, I was able to catch it. Unfortunately, the time loss was too significant to catch the 3rd wave. It is a pity as I scored high points in the 2 waves before. In those lost 10 minutes I could’ve caught another wave and that could’ve been enough for first place. At the same time, I am honored to be in such a final with world-class riders. I am very happy that we took first and third place with Team Starboard.”
