PWA FOIL RACING


ANTOINE ALBEAU

I


like all racing, but the problem for me is the restrictions we have. We managed to do one race in the strong winds, but we could
have done more. In the super light wind it is not great for me because I am the heaviest and it is very hard to fight. I am happy
because in the end I was in the game and competing a lot better than I expected. The new format with the slalom was awesome.
I think I am way better doing this type of racing than the upwind and downwind courses in the super light conditions. In those
conditions you have to be light weight to be competitive. I think the slalom was just amazing and unbelievable to see. I think this is
the future of light wind slalom for sure. The windy day was a bit scary, but we all soon tuned in. We went out and we are professionals
so we soon learned how to tune and be able to do it. I had a lot of fun, but I am the heaviest so maybe it was easier for me!

FUN, BUT I AM


THE HEAVIEST.”
