The Estonian Windsurfing Championships, one of the major Pro Kids and Freestyle qualification events for the World Championships, was held recently in the western town of Topu with competitors from all over the world participating. When all was said and done, it was local player Christofer Kalk who clinched the title in front of the home crowd.

Kolk is an accomplished windsurfer, having won the under-17 event in last year’s world championships. The Estonian capitalized on the good weather, his high tech swimwear and great wind as he showed everyone his tricks and other moves to impress the judges.

The young Estonian virtually ruled in the earlier rounds to establish a big score margin against closest competitors. In the latter rounds, there were sudden surges from Tony Mottus and Robert Koppel to make things more interesting. Kalk, at one point, placed third in one of the stages. However, the wide lead in the first two rounds prevailed at the eighteen year old was officially adjusted as the Estonian Windsurfing Championships winner.

The World Championships is reportedly scheduled to take place later this year. The challenge is now on for Kalk to perform well in this event considering his impressive performance at the Estonian event.
