Sempre per la serie “mercato di gennaio”… il forte racer argentino Gonzalo Costa Hoevel (ARG-3) approda alla corte di Fanatic e North Sails. Il trentunenne Gonzalo che è uno dei top PWA racers, utilizzerà i nuovi Falcon Slalom e le nuove Warp, contribuendo anche alla ricerca e sviluppo futuri di questi materiali. Di seguito una breve intervista a Gonzalo in Inglese.

Welcome to Fanatic and NorthSails! What were your reasons to join our teams?
After my 20110 seasonI I decided that I want to have the best gear out there to race in 2011. I tried almost everything and I felt the best with this combo! As well since many years I had a great relation with both teams and I always had the illusion to be part of such a great team.
What do you think of your new team mates like our World Champs Gollito Estredo and Victor Fernandez?
I had always admired the skills of both of them but most of all I absolutely respect their hard work and determination to achieve their goals. To see Victor getting his first world title this year was just great. It seems in my point of view that this was the first of many more to come for Victor.
Did you get a chance to try any of our gear yet and what do you think?
I got the Falcon 111, 85 and Warp 7.8, 7.0 and 6.3m². I sailed it all already and what impressed me the most was the huge range that i get with this gear compare to previous years. Now I manage to go faster and with tons of control. The jibing of the Falcon is sick too!
What are your plans? Which events are you doing in 2011?
I had a small training period in some windy spots of Argentina to try the gear and now I will go to Maui for an intense training before the PWA in Vietnam which will be the first international event for me this year. After that I will go back to Maui for more training and photoshoots. I plan todo all PWA events and also some events in the Caribbean.
Which goals do you want to reach in 2011?
I would like to finish top 7 in the PWA and hopefully get some podiums too.
What are your plans until the season starts?
I am working hard on the gym right now so later in the year I have only to concentrate on getting my gear tune and putting a lot of hours on the water.
