2007/09/23

Andreas Olandersson finished 2nd at the Swedish Wave Championships, which took place last weekend in Varberg, on the westcoast of Sweden.

As it was a open competiton they were visitors from the rest of Scandinavia, 25 competitiors in total. On Saturday they had lighter winds and tried some Slalom but even for that it was not enough. On Sunday morning however the wind was there! Skippers meeting and half an hour later the competition was "on fire". With onshore wind and 30 knots, the conditions were not the best. But everybody was fighting and the level was surprising high.

In the elimination Andreas had some nice fights and even won one heat against Markus Bohman, the Swedish windsurfing legend and owner of Surfers Paradise. In the end he finished 2nd - well done Andreas!
