Video - AWT Essaouira: Boujmaa Guilloul Wins

Another great AWT event wrapped up here in Morocco with full-on action in the Pro fleet from the first buzzer with all the riders pushing the limits. Morgan Noireaux, Kevin Pritchard, Boujmaa Guilloul and Diony Guadignino were the final four riders left to do battle.

The final saw Noireaux taking the highest wave score on a big set wave, with multiple critical turns and an aerial, whilst Guilloul took the highest jump score with a massive one foot backloop. Kevin Pritchard also racked up a big one-footed backloop, plus a big stalled forward and some excellent wave scores. Guadagnino went for a double, as did Noireaux, but it was Boujmaa Guilloul’s jumping that set him apart and took him to the win. Boujmaa Guilloul and Ingrid Larouche are crowned champions in an action-packed, high-flying windsurfing event on the Northwest coast of Africa.

As everyone starts to filter out of Morocco, we reflect back on the wonderful contest, and conditions that we were fortunate enough to enjoy. Boujmaa and all the local Moroccans have been incredible hosts, showing us plenty of hospitality. From the food, to the windsurfing, to the local markets, it has been a fantastic experience, and one we hope to continue for years to come.

Thanks to everyone who made this event possible, and we'll see you next time! Pistol River is right around the corner, so sign up now to be a part of the 2016 AWT!
