Windsurfing enjoyed fantastic conditions at the London 2012 Olympic Games. What's up next for the RS:X Class and NeilPryde?
Dorian Van Rijsselberge, from the Netherlands, won gold with two races to spare in the Men's RS:X after a series of exceptional performances. He finished ahead of Nick Dempsey of Great Britain in silver position and Poland's Przemyslaw Miarczynski, who took bronze.
"I think the job that the supplier did with the equipment was amazing, the margins they have to work with are so little and they definitely did a good job", says Van Rijsselberge.
"People complaining about the equipment is understandable, we're top athletes so if there is a millimeter here or there, which is incorrect on the board we feel it and we want to get the maximum out of the boards so we're really critical. But even though we're that critical they still made a really good job with the equipment".
