Antoine Albeau, interview by Wind Lounge

29/02/2024

1 year ago almost to the day (see our article of 8 March 2023), Antoine Albeau was interviewed by the team at the German shop Wind Lounge... 12 months later, we're starting again at the same place in Tenerife in the Canaries, where FRA-192 was running a clinic.
The programme included an open discussion about the clinic, which was led by Antoine Albeau, but above all about the windsurfing market, the fact that there are still too many brands in his opinion and the rise of wingfoil.
As for the Zephir Project, although it has been quiet for some time, Antoine Albeau confirms that the project has found a sponsor who will finance additional engineering services. He expects to see results soon. With Robert Stroj, NeilPryde's designer, Albeau has been working for 15 years on an asymmetric speed sail and a special wetsuit that should also enable him to increase his windsurfing speed.
On the competition front, although he has indeed retired from sport at the end of 2022, Antoine Albeau says he wants to maintain his level and be in the running for the Défi Wind and possibly the RRD One Hour Classic on Lake Garda. As for the arrival of the Slalom X on the PWA World Tour, the 26-time world champion finds the race format very exciting and would have loved to take part in the Fuerteventura event. But with the high season at his windsurfing centre, it's going to be very complicated!
