All good things come to those who wait, because for the first time since 1996 the PWA returns to the classic world cup location of Guincho, Portugal for what is already branded as the hottest wave World Cup of the year.
The world’s top male wavesailors will battle it out for €55,000 of prize money on the second wave event of the 2005 PWA world tour.
Praia do Guincho is located on the Atlantic coast just north of Portugal’s capital Lisbon. In summertime, Guincho is battered by consistent and strong starboard tack thermal winds often reaching speeds up to 30-40 knots. Combined with the powerful Atlantic swell and a brutal shorebreak, Guincho is one of Europe’s most popular and radical wavespots.

I like windsurfing. This photo shows everything what in the sport. Nature, Speed, Power, Dynamic this all controlled by a Human. Is that not great.
