Fuji-X Sport: A friendly Windsurfing Competition

[GilBarib]

Hi !

 

Here's a few pics from a friendly Windsurfing competition that took place last Saturday at the local beach.

The event, "La Classique de la Baie", is an annual meetup for the local Windsurfing community, it's a 1 hour race in which the riders will try to do as much loops as possible by circling between two buoys 3 km appart.

At the beginning of the race I was maybe at around 30 m from the closest buoy, the starting one, but as the tide went up I had to retreat back to maybe 75m.

The water in the St-Lawrence River is quite cold at this time of the year so I did not really want to get my feet wet, I should of brought my rubber boots..... or maybe I should just get the XF100-400mm
