Tomorrow my girl and I are jumping on a plane to Paris! We will spend about a week there just playing a little...then it will be time to pick up the skis and go to work.
Once we meet up with our French connection Anthony, and get Mike Serlin rounded up we will head to the first stop of the IFWA World Tour at PENICHE “SUPERTUBOS” BEACH in Portugal for "Freeride Portugal 07!" The contest runs from the 13th throuh the 15th of April. (please see below for a complete schedule of events)
There is an impressive list of 30 professional riders from around the world who will be in attendance. (Check below for the complete list) And there is a $12,000 purse up for grabs at the first stop.
After Portugal we will be off to Spain and then France for the final two rounds of the European leg of the tour. More info on those events will follow and can be found at www.ifwa.com.br.
You can find news from our trip and from the contest weekly on www.watercraftworld.com. I will be writing a weekly update for their news section. Also don't forget to check www.ifwa.com.br for offical results.
