On Tuesday 10th of September, around 12PM, windsurfer Janis Preiss returned to Latvia. The day before, September 9, he crossed the Baltic Sea on his Gaastra Formula windsurf board from Liepaja (Latvia) to Gotland (Sweden) with assistance of supporting yacht “Nordic Virgin“ and made the 320km in 11 hours. It took 8 years to achieve his dream.
Ronstan Bridge to Bridge race pits kite boarders, windsurfers, skiffs & cameramans against each other & mother nature in an epic 7 mile downwind sprint from the Golden Gate bridge to the Bay bridge.
