3 questions to Ricardo Campello

16/10/2023

Leading the PWA/IWT Unified Wave Tour before the final in Maui from 23 October to 3 November, Ricardo Campello is on the verge of a world title in the ultimate wave discipline. For Windsurfjournal.com, he takes a look back at his season and this last crucial deadline...

 


Windsurfjournal.com: How would you sum up this season after the events in Japan, Fiji, Pozo and Sylt?
Ricardo Campello : To be honest, FIji and Pozo were good, it’s a shame we didn’t have enough conditions to finish Japan and Sylt. I would have liked to be in the position I am now with all the events completed, as I feel I was ready for all conditions this year!

 


WJ: What do you think about the merger of the two events and this PWA/IWT Unified Wave Tour?
RC: The locations are really good, but there is a lot to do on the IWT events. Sometimes I feel that they are not really a "pro" tour, rather they are just windsurfers who want to go on a nice windsurfing trip and judge themselves, they do not know that there are contracts, world titles and a lot of things at stake, and basically they want to do what they want, but I really hope that this year was a "trial year" and that next year we can have a better unified tour with a more professional structure! From the outside it looks really great, but for us sailors there are a lot of things that need to be changed.

 


WJ: You've never been this close to the title before the final in Maui, isn't that an added pressure?
RC: I have actually been close a couple of times I think, maybe not leading the tour but second or something, Im not going to think about it too much and just try to have fun on the water and pick the best waves and do what I know!
