Eva in Paradise Wave windgirl Evi Tsape is happy about new sponsors (F2, North), as she told pwaworldtour.com these days. The Greek loop queen - one of not too many girls pulling incredible push loops - also unveils her plans for this winter. And she shares some impressive moments in her Pozo 2009 video! Evi: "As well as supporting me with all my equipment, North Sails, F2 boards, and ION wetsuits, we discussed the windsurfing camps I have been organising in Greece these past few years, and they want to support those as well, which is great for the sport. This decision turned out even better when Dani Aeberli from F2 offered to send in 3 boards for me. It is the first time I have had such a good deal, I have had to pay for all of my boards up until now. So I would like to thank Dani too! ... Overall it is great to receive all this support and the whole renewal is also great… New colors, new feelings, everything new!" Evis plans for the winter ahead: "As you might (or might not) know, besides competing on the PWA tour for 4 years now, I also have a normal job in Athens, where I live. I work for my father, in a ship management company. Of course I can go sailing here as well, but I also have work to do every day, and when it is not windy I stay at the office really long hours. So I do not have the possibility to be away from Athens all winter, as most sailors do. However, Athens is not the best place to train for waves, so I will have to go away if I want to improve. It is ok to stay here if you want to maintain the same level of sailing, but if you want to improve, you have to go away. My plan is to stay here for autumn and beginning of winter, and after Christmas do a trip or two somewhere, not sure where yet. I have been to South Africa twice, in February 2007 and 2008 and it was really great, but I think I would like to see and sail a different spot now. I think I might fly on a good forecast to the Canaries or Morocco, and for sure I will try to sail at more spots here in Greece. So many of the Greek islands get good conditions in wintertime, like Crete in the south of the Aegean, where I have never sailed, or Rhodes, which both have a few degrees higher temperature in winter, it would be awesome to go there. I think I will focus more on my training as spring gets closer." posted by editors at 12/08/2009 11:39:00 PM |
