Break out star Luuc van Opzeeland
Windsurfing.TV has a bunch of the live streams on youtube. Here are a couple of highlights
Day 2 racing finish at 25:40 (watch to at least 28:00) and start at 1:38:00 worth a watch 
Some great racing during the event, overall it was on the light end of the scale and I'm sure Bontemps was disappointed that last race got canned mid way though...If it hadn't he would have won the event I'd say.
The marathon was fairly hilarious, that first upwind shows just how much faster foils are, I don't think any of the Windsurfer LT's even did two laps of the 5 before they called time. The foils were on their 4th lap of 5 before they got to the bottom mark for the first time 
I also found it interesting the fastest foil (51min) beat the fastest Moth by 9 minutes. I always thought they'd smoke us but after sailing against one recently and seeing this I'm not so sure. Would be interesting in more breeze, I would think the advantage may tip their way but maybe not Foiling kites in another league though at 39 minutes...but >20m^2 of 'kite' will do that.

Glad you watched that bit, too. Loved the overhead drone shots - watching the foils go upwind was like watching a waltz.
Given that Bontemps was racing the whole regatta on a 9, that makes his results even more impressive.
The NP riders couldn't used their 10m sails as the IFCA rules state that the max luff will be 600 and the NP Flight Evo is 607.

I was hoping people would watch the video and learn that tidbit. (But they won't so thanks for pointing that out.)
Someone at NP must be wondering if it was really worth the extra 7cm after watching van Opzeeland switch to Severne and win the whole thing. And, Steve Allen still killing it on a cut down Formula.
Bontemps only was on the 9 for the first day, a few of the NP guys had their 10's recut by a sailmaker on the first night to meet the 6.0m rule.
I was there. It was amasing to see them with 10m sail and millennium front wing flying in no wind

Great to know! I'll bet that guy was busy. Select to expand quotePatK said..

As participant or spectator (forgive my ignorance if I should know). So, what would you say were the wind speeds? It was impossible to tell from the drone shots. Any other cool tidbits to share? From the videos, it looked amazing.
It was very gusty on saturday and sunday and not so strong maloya wind because of clouds. In the lulls it was approximately 10 knots i think. But at 1800 meters!

I did not think about flying with my 800 fw and 8.6 sail. Really crazy. Must have the 1000 wing next season
