About 100 of the best European RS:X class windsurfers converged on the beaches of Tel Aviv over the past week for the European Championships. Haaretz notes that the location was a pretty good one for the competitors; the city provides a nice contrast to the out-of-the-way beaches where contests are usually held. And in good news for the Israeli team, Shahar Zubari (who, you’ll remember, won bronze at last year’s Olympics) seemed to trounce the competition on his way to victory in the men’s event. Hopefully, the competitors found the hospitality, if not the water and beach conditions, to their liking, as well.
