Een leuke tip voor 2011 om aan dit longdistance (team)event in Noord-Frankrijk mee te doen!
"La Route du Ch'ti" (The road of Ch'ti) is becoming a serious event in France. For the 4th edition, Léo Lagrange Windsurfing Club in the north of France in association with Neil Pryde / JP Australia / RS:X and RS:One, seduced not less than 181 riders!
40 riders in 2007, 78 in 2008, 138 in 2009, 181 this year! And this event is organized on... a lake!
No waves, no big wind, not a super sunny place, but a nice and welcoming Country called "The Ch'ti"" where the locals speaks a strange French. So, many good riders did the "6 Hours of Windsurfing or Paddling" in a Team of 2 to 3 persons. Faustine Merret (Athens Olympic games Champion 2004) and Damien Le Guen (3 times Formula French champion) joined in the fun with the amateurs and kids who were so happy to show their windsurfing level. Many Funboarders joined too, and rode a race board for the first time.
There was a brilliant ambiance all day long, with Neil Pryde / JP Windsurfng equipment for sale second hand, many gifts to win by lucky draw, the new RS:One to test, food and free drinks, and Red Bull as partner. So many smiles all day long...
