Cesare Cantagalli, founder of 99 NoveNove brand, has recently spent a period in South Africa, going back to those places that 20 years ago were almost his second home!

Thanks to Paul Waggy of surf shop, Bay Sport, a nice reunion night was made to celebrate the 30 years of the mythical Gunston Cup. The Gunston was the first international invitational Windsurf Wave contest in South Africa and won by Cesare Cantagalli. After this event the pictures of those beautiful windsurf spots were published in magazines and permitted to South Africa to become one of the most important destinations for the European winter period. During the Gunston Cup reunion there were all the representatives of South African windsurfing history and also international riders that decided to live in South Africa – Klaus Walter (first rider for F2 brand), Olaf Van Toll (World Cup rider in the 80-90’s), Ivan Van Furen (National Wave Champion), Ralf Bachschuster (german athlete famous in the World Cup in the 80-90’s).

Cesare commented: “What a memorable night. It was wonderful to come back, find this welcome and meet again so many people from the evolution of the sport. I thank Paul of Bay Sport for organizing this night.”
