After the very hot July summer period all over Europe a big depression system brought pumping winds up to 30 knots on the first day of the Samsung European Freestyle Jam at Twins Club Bredene.
Most of the EFPT Riders just come back from Canary Island Fuerteventura, so the ladder was leaded by Andre Paskowski (F2/North Sails), Norman Gunzlein (JP/NP) and Andreas Olanderson (JP/NP).
In the very wavy conditions at Twins Club Bredene it was Norman Gunzlein (JP/NP) who made his way to final elimination Fabrice Devos (JP/NP), Jakub Kosmowski (Tabou/Gaastra) and his teammate Andreas Olanderson (JP/NP) in the semi final.
Andre Paskowski, who is one of the leaders of the overall 06 ranking, made his way through the single elimination, kicking the butt of young Belgium rider Caers J., as well as Tine Slabe (F2/Naish) and Matteo Guazzoni (RRD/Simmer Style).
In the final Norman (JP/NP) was showing an impressive performance and a perfect combination of freestyle and wave sailing. Andre (F2/North Sails) was fighting very hard but the overall higher technical performance of Norman gave him the victory.
In the losers final between Andreas Olanderson (JP/NP) and Matteo Guazzoni (RRD/Simmer Style) it was Andreas (JP/NP) who impressed the judges. He also showed a very high standard and a nice combination of freestyle and wave sailing.
With Devos (JP/NP), Caers J. and Van de Ven we find the best Belgium riders in 9th position after the single elimination.
