The world famous Reni Egli windsurfing centre will play host to world's wildest freestylers and the full throttle men's slalom fleet for ten days of intense competition. Its idyllic location boasts golden sands and a relaxing beachside chill out area just meters away from the remarkable conditions, providing the crowds with an incredible view from the comfort of their sun loungers.

Relentless winds and stirred up seas form the battle ground for the most anticipated contest on the PWA world tour. Fuerteventura's insane conditions guarantee exhilarating action from the men's slalom fleet and the occasional stunt ramp ensures the freestylers will be performing their most radical maneuvers to win the judges affections.

Beachside

Fuerteventura is a favourite spot amongst the PWA stars, not just due to the faultless conditions. An enormous party tent lines the beach, filled with pumping tunes, delicious food and drinks, providing the perfect location to blow off steam after a tough day on the water.

Who to watch out for

Freestyle fleet

At this stage in the game the scores all looking critically tight at the top and several sailors have everything to play for in the quest for the world title. Slick Belgian superstar Steven Van Broeckhoven (F2 / Gaastra) sailed his way into second place in Lanzarote providing him with the advantage over Bonaire's Kiri Thode (Starboard / Gaastra) on the overall event scores, he will be looking to deliver a spectacular performance to retain his position in Fuerteventura's complex conditions.

Having had time to re-think his game plan, expect to see Thode return with a vengeance, pulling his gravity deifying kabicutichis and bone dry culos in order to claim back his position on top.

Favouring the more radical conditions the Canary Islands kick up, four times world champion Jose Estredo (Fanatic / North) stole the show in Lanzarote and claimed his first event on the 2011 world tour. Estredo is guaranteed to bring his unbelievable air chachoo's and no handed ponchs to secure maximum points in Fuerteventura.

Taty Frans (Starboard / MauiSails / Mystic) sits in fourth place overall, it can be expected Taty will be looking to up his game in order to make it onto the podium at this critical stage on the world tour.
