Bjoern Dunkerbeck wins the 2010 Speed Classic
The event took place in the French town of Port St. Louis from Nov 16th to
the 21st. The five day event had the most challenging conditions any speed
event could possibly experience, ranging from 40 to 50 kts offshore winds
during the first round and 20 to 30 knts onshore with 1-2 meter waves for
the second round. Air temperatures were at only 5-10 degrees!
Bjoern was ecstatic with his choice of gear, ranging from REFLEX 5.6 & 6.2
(54 Atom Speed Board/Starboard) during race one and REFLEX 7.0 & 7.8 (Isonic
90) for race two .
He had this to say:
“Pretty hardcore & cold –but also lots of fun” (B.D.)
