Wilhelm Schurmann has won the 2011 IFCA North American Slalom Championship. The Brazilian windsurfer took the title by only 1.07 points, in Virginia Keys, Miami. The event was a major success and it was held in one of the best flatwater race locations in Florida, right in front of the famous Fisher Island. Alex Morales, a local legend, put up a great contest with 54 windsurfers from USA, Aruba, Brazil, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Belgium and Curacao. "The course was fairly long compared to PWA standards, taking us around 9-10 minutes to finish a race, which gave great opportunity for some battles between the top 5 sailors as we were jostling for positions right down to the last metres in to the finish line", said Sean O'Brien. All races were run in three windsurfing days. Despite a fierce battle for gold, Wilhelm Schurmann took top honours in the 2011 IFCA North American Slalom Championship. Kurosh Kiani was second and Sean O'Brien third. Pro Men: 1st Wilhelm Schurmann |
