IFCA PRO KIDS World championships
Organized by Surf en Zeil centrum Brouwersdam and supported by:

Provincie zeeland

Center Parcs Port Zélande
Surf magazine Holland

A well organized location and event with great windsurfing conditions
made it possible for windsurfing kids from 8 different nations
to come over and to battle for a world title in the youth and junior division.

Official opening ceremony was done by the municipal councilor of "Gemeente Goedereede" Mr. Peter Feller. A flag parade was held straight after, towards Center Parcs Port Zélande where the kids were welcomed with a BBQ dinner. BNG as the EFPKT tour manager and the head judge at this event surely was impressed by the level of the kids at this world cup event. The forecast started with light winds and sunshine to rain and more wind to even stronger winds with the sun peeking through some parts of the days. Yet every single day from beginning to end was another exciting day with tow in sessions, expression sessions, water jump sessions and pure freestyle sensations.
At the end of the event there had been enough eliminations rounds to fairly decide the overall decisions. We are not saying that it was easy but, one thing is sure, this event generated a lot of excitement and fun.

< Judges focused while the talented kids perform their freestyle tricks at Brouwersdam.

From the UK, Isaac Bradly Baker got back in the water after a wind skating injury and won the U 13 super kids division.

 

Ethan Westera from "one happy island" Aruba a Champion in the U 15 division. This 13 year old kid was able to do high rated moves like no handed flaka's

 

Rafael de Windt from the tropical island of Curacao a very interesting freestyler who knew how to impress the judges with style and inventing tricks like a " spock and wissle" it does sounds funny but, we never ever saw no one else do something like that before.

 

Official event organizer Uwe Jendrusch the father of the talented local freestyler stoked after his son Rick Jendrusch kicked out Rafael de Windt in one of the earlier elimination rounds.

Local Rick Jendrusch from Holland the new Youth world champion
who was crowed at his home spot. Big ups

 

 

Awards cermony of the IFCA PRO KIDS at the zeil en Surf Centrum Brouwersdam was great with lots of happy faces. The winds dropped down and the sunshine came out to say good bye on the last moments of the final day of this event. This event was the second stop of the five European Freestyle Pro Kids Tour
stops. The tour will continue at the next tour stop in Belgium.
