Total domination to win the gold on the Men's RSX. He was also pretty dominant in Perth. A job well done.

There was some great scenes with his and 'Dempo's' celebration. Would have to be good for the RSX. Even Antoine was getting into it all on the grassy knoll.
It made me proud to be a windsurfer!

There might be a few PWA racers looking over their shoulder I reckon.

Kind of already happens! Pont (Polish guy in bronze medal position), usually comes and thrashes everyone in the bigger Formula events each year. He won the FW European Championships last year on 5 year old kit :-P

Dorian is pretty freaking fast on FW kit also. Casper Bouman (2006 RS:X World Champion also from Holland) has been on the podium in FW quite a bit in the past years also ...

Not sure if these guys would be too light to cut it in PWA slalom though? But for sure, they are probably far more talented sailors than 95% of the PWA fleet...
