The Baltic Sea provided excellent conditions over the past long weekend, giving the DWC a successful start to the season in Ahlbeck. The German windsurfing elite can look forward to continuing like this at the next five events over the summer months. After a total of four complete slalom eliminations, the man with the number GER-277 won in Ahlbeck: Michele Becker.

DSV squad surfer Jonne Heinemann (GER-107, JP, Neil Pryde) in second place and talented youngster Meno Büchler (GER-91, Starboard, Severne) in third place completed the podium. The reigning Multivan Windsurf Cup champion Michele Becker from Kiel, who is currently contesting his first season with the equipment of his new sponsor Patrik Windsurfing, won three of the four races. He only allowed himself one small slip-up during the third final and still achieved the ideal score of 2.1 points thanks to the strike.

Not just action on the water

The large supporting and party programme in Ahlbeck was also impressive.
In addition to the evening parties in front of the concert shell, visitors were able to take part in free yoga sessions during the day, for example, or shop at a wide variety of stalls at the neighbouring market as part of the event. Well worth a visit.
