Siam Park will put windsurfing back in the spotlight where it belongs
"According to an inside information PWA is about to organize 2 major wave events this year in Siam Park in Tenerife which will count in the wave world title."
"For this reason the Siam Park is under a huge make over which will finally broaden the riding area up to 200 meters and at the same time allow the addition of the newly developed fan system that will produce a 20-35 knots air stream with variable angle to the wave axis, allowing the imitation of a real-world side-on and side-off event.
Due to the prevailing wind in the Canaries area, the fan system will be installed on the right side of the pool giving a bonus to the starboard tack lovers, and probably firing up the chase for the wave world title. (which for the past years was decided only on port tack wave destinations)"

I don't get it...what's the sail for if there's no wind? Looks like fun, but I'd rather not have the fumes/noise of a jetski, or be enclosed in an artificial environment when I'm sailing. Looks like it's for show?
That one was just for the show, it seems they want to do the same but with fans like they used to in Bercy !
