We all beleive that when Antoine Questel took the lead winning the 4th elimination. But a mistake during round 5, while leading he´s semi-final and going to wrong mark open the victory door to Micah Buzianis.
With the secong place Overall and first podium, FRA 99 shows how fast he was around the course and put his name next to the big guy on the world tour.

PWA commented on Questel : “The Frenchman regained his composure, to limit the damage caused by his semi-final mishap, to finish second and cap an otherwise flawless performance in Korea.”

Very consistant Ben Van Der Steen took 5th and Ludo Jossin 6th winning one final each. With 5 races done in Korea, Loftsails riders claimed 3 races wins, OUTSTANDING!!

The first event of the French championship took place in Brittany during the last week.
Gusty wind of 10 to 18 knots offshore.

Antoine said about his first win : “A very good start for me since the last heat in St Barthelemy where I won in front of multiple world champion Albeau. I have a very good speed which gives me a lot of confidence to start next week in Italy for the first PWA event.
This first race was the good opportunity to validate all this winter training and settings…”

Young Polish rider Maciek Rutkowski join Loftsails forces in 2012. Pol 23 compete since several years at the best level and is promised to a great windsurf future.

Can you make a short presentation of yourself?
I’m 20, come from Poland, won some Youth European and World Championships, and now trying to make the next step on the PWA Slalom tour, but also still competing in Formula on an international level and hope to be competing in waves soon. I produce some videos (vimeo.com/channels/globetrotter) and am involved in a lot of media stuff. I eat a lot and can’t sit in one place for more than 5 seconds .

Why did you choose Loftsails?
We share the same drive: passion. Besides, I believe the gear fits me perfectly and is simply the best out there. On top of that I now have a chance to be closer to the development process, therefore learn a LOT. I was in Tarifa already in November and saw how Monty and the team works – pure magic!

Whats is your winter training schedule?
Cape Town! I’ll be here for 2 more months training my ass off in slalom and enjoying rippin some waves.

What are your goals for next season?
Get bigger, stronger, faster, more experienced and take that to the race course with perfectly set up equipment. I don’t like to set stiff goals so let’s say I would like to improve my results drastically. I sincerely believe it’s gonna happen!
