FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Event Organizer: Royn Bartholdi
Sport: Windsurfing Dates: July 6th – July 20th (First windy day, One day event) Location: Spring Creek Fish Hatchery, aka The Hatchery Region: Columbia River Gorge Tel: (541) 490-0366 Email: royn@roynbartholdi.com Web: www.gorgefreestylefrenzy.com
The Gorge Freestyle Frenzy, North America’s premier high-wind freestyle windsurfing
competition, returns to the Columbia River Gorge this July, announces event founder
and organizer Royn Bartholdi. Top windsurfers from across North America are
expected to compete. Last year’s event—the only advanced freestyle competition
held in North America—drew 48 competitors from as far away as Maui and Ontario.
The one-day competition will take place at the Spring Creek
Fish Hatchery in Underwood, Washington. “The Hatchery is a world-renowned
windsurfing venue, famous for big winds and big swell—in other words,
epic Gorge conditions,” says Bartholdi. It also offers ample seating
for hundreds of spectators. Admission for spectators is free.
The Frenzy is slated for the first sufficiently windy day in the
two-week period from July 6—20. Working with local weather
forecasters, Bartholdi will make the determination each morning
by 7 a.m. whether the event will take place that day. Participants
and spectators can check the day’s decision by visiting the Gorge
Freestyle Frenzy website, www.gorgefreestylefrenzy.com, or calling
the Frenzy hotline, TBA. Last year, the event took place
on the first day of the two-week window.
Windsurfers will compete in five divisions: Super Frenzy,
Women, Men, Kids, and Masters. Super Frenzy is the showcase
division, the most demanding with the biggest prizes. It summons
all competitors to push their limits and promises to deliver a
wild display of aerials, tricks and wipe-outs. The Kids' division
(17 years and younger) was a crowd favorite last year, and
is the North American qualifying competition for the Starboard
ProKids World Championship; the winner qualifying to enter
the international freestyle competition held in Bonaire in
July. The Men’s and Women’s division focus on "Gorge Style"
sailing, with a stronger emphasis on aerials and classic Gorge
maneuvers. The Masters' division is for men age 35 and older;
some of the best and most experienced sailors are now sailing in this division.
Competition will begin at 9 a.m. A panel of judges will rate contestants on overall impression, and
each sailor is guaranteed a minimum of two seven-minute heats.
