World Class Forecast

Some massive waves mast hight, side shore wind around 50 knots this are the conditions that all the windsurfers from the Carro Wave classic 2013 had to face on the second day of contest in the famous mediterranean spot of Carro. With a waiting period on since October 2012 this event was waiting for the perfect forecast to start!! And the perfect weekend came last week. Avanti International Rider Peter Volwater decided to take part of it as he was in south of France getting ready for the long PWA season coming. With only a 86 Liters with him and a 4 meter Viper Sails Peter had not a lot of choice for the contest.
