There are positive news from the European Freestyle Pro Tour (EFPT) 2012. The EFPT stage at Six Fours, South of France is already well set up !  And the EFPT as well announced a new tourstop at Weymouth, UK from the 3rd till the 6th of November, which will be the official tour final 2012. Finally the EFPT got some tourstops in the end of the season.

After the negotiations with the organiser in West Wittering (UK) remained unsuccessful concerning the staging of the final EFPT tour stop in 2012, two young motivated windsurfers stepped into the game and asked about the possibility of organising the 2012 EFPT showdown in Weymouth, UK to promote their new event company ‘Xtreme Playgrounds’ (XPLG) and to get the European Freestyle Pro Tour riders to the UK.

They managed to land a deal with a high class title sponsor, CENTAUR Travel from London and will run the EFPT ‘King of the Wind’ from the 3rd until the 6th of November 2012, right after the EFPT event in France.

“We lay all our trust in a well organised final tour stop in the UK due to the involvement of the student scene (SWA), the OTC in Weymouth and a very big and motivated scene of freestyle windsurfers on site. We look forward to seeing many of you in France and then in traveling on together to England!” Hanna Poschinger, EFPT press manager announced recently.
