Podersdorf report

This was my first ever trip to Austria and therefore first ever time to Podersdorf. Event Organizer, Gerhard Polak and his team throw one of the best organized parties I’ve ever seen. Austrian precision, with an easy atmosphere. Angulo boards was in full force with our own display stand and our loyal team , of Gozi” the emigrant” ” clean Christina” and the Seve “munich Puppydog”. The Magnums drew lots of attention as well a our new line of t-shirts. It was quite uplifting for me to get in the mix of the windsurf/ business  scene of central europe and get feedback from guys from Germany, france, Ukraine, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Norway, UK, Switzerland, Italy, Czech Republic, Turkey and of course Austria.

Although, my result was dissapointing, I was actually pleased with a new technique I learned to bounce back quick from the pain of mistakes and bad results in racing. This was taught to me by the ” godfather” Phil Mcgain and since he’s getting ready for a world domination triathalon circuit, I can’t give away his secrets. Let’s just say, my spirits are high, confidence level full and ready for Korea. In the meantime I’m off to Munich for a 3 day networking tour, where my wife will meet me. She’s bringing me all my light wind slalom fins that the airline lost before Austria, So although that was a total bummer at the time, I now get to see my best friend for 3 days, which was otherwise not on the program….. wooo hoooo!

    The updates, are in great part to all the cool people taking the pics and helping us along our way. The great boards are mainly due to my dad’s 40 years experience combined with Jean Bouldoires many many years as well. I’m blessed to be in the middle of all of it. and Thank you for the support. It keeps us going

  3. Ooh gosh i just wrote a huge comment and when i submitted it it come up blank! Please please tell me it worked properly? I dont want to write it again if i do not have to! Either the blog bugged out or i am an idiot, the latter doesnt surprise me lol.

  4. I believe this must be something with your internet connection. I suggest you to write it again and before you press “submit comment” button you can copy, past your comment to notepad so in case it will be gone again you will have a copy which you should email us so we can check what is going on.

  5. Hello just figured i would let you know i had a issue with this blog appearing blank as well. Must be monkeys in the page.

  6. Hello just figured i will let you know that i also had a problem with your blog coming up blank also. Might be monkeys in the system.

  7. Intimately, the post is actually the sweetest on this notable topic. I fit in with your conclusions and will eagerly look forward to your next updates. Just saying thanks will not just be sufficient, for the phenomenal clarity in your writing. I will instantly grab your rss feed to stay abreast of any updates. Admirable work and much success in your business endeavors!
