CAMILLE JUBAN-1ST-FOCUSED, TAKE IT EASY AND ENJOY
MAIDEN WORLD TOUR VICTORY
Im super happy to be able to earn my first World Cup event win competing against all the top riders. I was almost exclusively riding the dynamo 70L from AV Boards paired with my 4.6m Catalyst from S2 Maui - I was a little bit overpowered on the outside, especially in the final when the wind picked up, but the combo gave me the power and speed I wanted on the wave. The wave is actually more difficult than it looks because the sand bar can move from one year to another and the wind was pretty gusty on the wave, so it takes a little bit of time to adapt, but it is still a great down-the-line wave. When the sets were mast high during the semis and the final, and I was driving through my bottom turn, looking at those walls of water, I experienced such an adrenaline rush right there, which is exactly why I windsurf.
KEEPING THINGS SIMPLE
My three words to record a good result at this contest were; focus, easy (to not overthink and make bad decisions) and enjoy! Because it is when you enjoy yourself that the result comes naturally!
Chile is great. The place itself is pretty raw and beautiful and on top of that the community knows how to enjoy life - especially the windsurf community. They are amazing. To celebrate we had tons of "Piscola", which is kind of the rum cola from Chile at the Hotel Surazo and of course that was great fun also haha.
