Another Wild Winds Win for Diony

Diony reports from his win in Margarita;

“The first Margarita Wild Winds was in 1995, I was 12 years old, 17 years later I was able to celebrate my first victory after competing the past 10 years of my career! The conditions were ideal with consistent light conditions in the morning and strong winds in the afternoon for slalom and long distance!"  

"The level was very high this year with 7 different Countries represented; Brasil, Argentina, Colombia, USA, France, Hungry and Venezuela. My good friend Wilhelm Shrmann from Brasil, currently ranked #1 in Formula, was strong competition and it all went down the last day, our first heat of the day I risked my start going over early, we had only 2 slalom rounds left and 1 long distance to close the event! I knew I couldn't make any more errors, to win I had to win all! that's exactly what I did keeping in track, I am super happy in winning the Margarita Wild Winds this year! Thanks for the support of my family and to all my sponsors, Nestea, AHD boards and Hot Sails Maui” Diony V69

Venezolanos se unen en Hawaii

Teníamos meses tratando de planear un viaje a Hawai junto a Gerhard Weil (TEAM NESTEA) en Hawai nos esperaba una leyenda de Puerto Cabello, el gasparin que se perdió de Venezuela por tanto tiempo vive en Hawai desde hace 20 anos! Marcos Lozada!!! así empezó nuestro viaje partiendo de Caracas (foto a la derecha) hacia la isla de Maui cuando me busco Gerhard en su moto en el aeropuerto de Maiquetía para conectarnos a nuestro vuelo Internacional, recorrimos casi 1 Km. así por la calle principal, ajajá

Fueron 7 días intensos aquí en Maui trabajando desde la mañana a la noche recorriendo toda la isla atrás de las mejores condiciones!

Haciendo fotos y videos para la media Venezolana y algunos otros países Latinos para apoyar el Talento Venezolano,  para seguir cosechando nuevos futuros campeones de nuestro país!

Al final de todo, esto es lo que se trata la vida, olvidando lo material y los problemas del mundo! esta es la riqueza mas grande que un ser puede tener, compartir en armonía, los recuerdos de haber vivido la vida junto a la naturaleza es lo que nos llena el alma en verdad!

Nuestra meta es buscar el apoyo en Venezuela para poder traer a estos criollitos mas destacados y entrenarlos aquí en Hawai, las grandes ligas del Windsurf y el Surfing!

Gracias a Marco Lozada que nos brindo básicamente todo su ayuda aquí en Maui, sin el no hubiéramos hecho todo esto posible!

Aqui algunas fotos de nuestro viaje junto a Marcos Lozada, Gerhard Weil, Kisbeth y Mene Hune Kekoa Weil.    

Muchas Gracias por todo el soporte! Abajo pueden encontrar texto en Ingles!

Diony Guadagnino

We were trying for months to plan a trip to Hawaii with Gerhard Weil (TEAM NESTEA). In Hawaii waiting for us the legend of Puerto Cabello, gasper the ghost who has been away from Venezuela for so long! living in Hawaii for the past 20 years! Marcos Lozada! we began our journey starting from Caracas (pictured on the right) to the island of Maui when Gerhard picked me up at the Maiquetia Airport to connect to our international flight, we traveled on his scooter for about 1 km down the main street to the International Terminal, ajaja'

Were 7 intense days here in Maui working from morning to night touring the entire island seeking the best conditions! Taking pictures and videos for the Venezuelan media and for some other Latin countries to support the Venezuelan talent to continue harvesting new future champions of our country!

At the end of all, this is what life is all about, forgetting the material and the world problems! this is the greatest wealth that a being can have, to share in harmony, the memories of having to live life close to nature is what fills our souls indeed! 
Our goal is to seek support in Venezuela in order to bring these local groms most prominent and train them here in Hawaii, the big leagues of Windsurfing and Surfing! 

Thanks to Marco Lozada that basically gave us all his help here on Maui, we would not have done without all this possible! 

Here are some pictures of our trip with Marcos Lozada, Gerhard Weil,  Kisbeth and Kekoa Hune Mene Weil.

Muchas Gracias and many thanks for the support!

The event in Puerto La Cruz was always my favorite since the first time
I participated 2 years ago! With a professional organization and also the competition
Area and the beach of Lecheria is spectacular, with choppy waters and medium winds,
I felt good in these conditions! The best part of the event by far was the night slalom, full adrenaline
And great energy between the competitors and spectators! I'm very pleased winning both disciplines
Of 10 slalom rounds and the night slalom which was something new for everyone!

ENGLISH:

Long distance was a hard core, first time I have sailed full power for about 3 hours on my 8.0, it was just like doing a slalom heat but for 3 hours straight! I really couldn't even hold on the the boom any more at the end! the view from the lagoon was amazing!! it was a great and fun challenge!

ESPANOL:

Larga distancia fue dura, es la primera vez que navego full power aproximadamente 3 horas sin parar con mi 8.0, casi igual que hacer un heat de slalom pero por tres horas recto, la verdad ni podía aguantar mas la botavara al final ¡La vista de la laguna fue increíble, fue una gran aventura!
