Double success for the Spanu family

77 riders compete off one moving start line for the long distance raceWorld Champion Mathis Ghio wins the raceMaddalena Spanu is first woman, while her brother Nicolo is second in the menA second long distance race is started but later abandoned as wind fails Day two of the Pascucci WingFoil Racing World Cup Campione del Garda 2023 was one for the Spanu family to remember. With all 77 riders starting from one rabbit start for the 30-minute long distance race, Maddalena Spanu won the women’s fleet and her brother Nicolo was second across the line in the men’s competition.
After a day of very little breeze on Lake Garda, the fleet will have to wait another day to begin the long distance race in the Pascucci WingFoil Racing World Cup Campione del Garda 2023. The 77 riders woke up not long after dawn to catch the best of the morning breeze from the north of the lake, the Pelèr. This was the breeze that delivered four hours of good winging on the previous morning, but day one of competition was not blessed with the same strength or consistency of wind, neither from the Pelèr or the afternoon Ora.
