El pasado domingo congregamos a más de mil espectadores para disfrutar de una de las mejores exhibiciones internacionales de Saltos de Windsurf, nunca vista anteriormente. Gracias al apoyo de BjörnDunkerbeck y de su marca DunkerbeckEyeWear, como patrocinador principal, se pudieron dar cita los mejores windsurfistas del mundo, sólo un día después de finalizar el evento del Mundial de Windsurf Tenerife-El Médano 2014.

Los profesionales del windsurf fueron impulsados por una moto de agua, la cual hacía la fuerza necesaria para sustituir al viento, para así llegar a la ola y volar para poder desarrollar las diferentes acrobacias. Esta idea fue creada por Daniel Bruch, organizador del evento en Siam Park y Mundial de Windsurf, y David Rodal Santiago Vilayta, único conductor de motos de agua capacitado para tal ejercicio.

Los mejores saltos de esta competición fueron realizados por el venezolano Ricardo Campello, el inglés Robby Swift y el alemán Leon Jamaer, que en este orden se hicieron acreedores al reconocimiento de los especialistas y los aficionados asistentes.
