Sean O'Brien, Pro Windsurfer – seanobrien.com.au™

Sean dominated the Qld State Slalom Championships yesterday by winning every single race he started. A fleet of 25 of the state’s top slalom sailors competed at the Championships run off of the rock wall at Norfolk Point, Manly. Sean used his 7.8m NeilPryde RS6 and Starboard iSonic 115 combo in the 15-20 knot winds to dominate the field and successfully defend his title from last year.

The new 2007 Starboard formula boards have arrived in Australia and with good winds the entire week Sean has had the opportunity to test the new board in a variety of conditions. Read the rest of this post for an Action Shots gallery from some days sailing at Australia’s Sunshine Coast. Read More…

The Formula Euro-Cup event in Leba, Poland finished a little disappointingly with only 2 races completed after the 4 days of racing; but as only one race is needed for an event, it still counts. Not to much of a problem as there’s plenty to do and see in Poland (especially in the summer months) and at no point were the sailors bored! Sean finished on equal points with 16th but was designated to 17th on a countback. Steve Allen (AUS-0) won the event with Arnon Dagan (ISR-1) and Michal Polanowski (POL-16) following closely behind.
