How good was the last Slalom-X in fuerte? One of the most entertaining comp I have seen in a long time for sure!
Kudos to Matteo ( go Italy!) for securing the title, but also an impressive performance from Pierre (go North!)
The acceleration on that reach before the last mark over Matteo was impressive !

Yes, first and last 😭SlalomX of the season was a banger.

Ben is not wrong when he kept saying during the commentary that it's very difficult to really appreciate how hard it is to sail full power in those conditions, and with others around pushing as hard as they can, without experiencing it yourself.

The level of racing, action, and quality of coverage has never been higher -- and sadly seems inversely proportionate to the size of the fleet and calendar of events.

Here is to hoping for more action in 2027!

I dunno. They had the largest women's fleet. ‘Slalom x rocks… can’t believe there are kids racing at that level.. kudos to them.
