Multi-crowned king Mike Burns (who doubles as the event organizer) asks the following question:
"Wouldn't it be nice to officially be the ultimate windsurf champion on the East Coast? Since we're not going to run an official freestyle "Pro Division" this year in competition, the title of "King/Queen of The East" will be up for grabs. It will go to the sailer in men's and women's category that has the best combined scores from racing AND freestyle. (Pros of all kinds are excluded from winning this title since there will be no Pro Men's freestyle division) But don't worry if you came for a show. The pros will be out there jumping, flipping, spinning and going just plain huge!! In between each set of races there will be a 15 or 20 minute pro "freestyle expression session" so that the guys going all out for those precious titles during the ECWF racing and freestyle events have a chance to take a breather."
Looking good for the well-rounded windsurfers!
