Yentel & Sam Blow Minds in Geneva
By Philip Mackenbrock
Yentel & Sam joined forces to push the level of tow-freestyle to a new level at the FPT Finals in Geneva!
Both sailors put on an incredibly stylish and spectacular show at the event, culminating in a victory for Yentel and 3rd place for Sam.
The crowds were treated to a tow-in freestyle display of unprecedented extremes, with the first ever full-rotation triple being completed by Yentel in the high-pressure environment of the event final.
From the FPT: "There is no discussion as to Yentel Caers’ Tow-In prowess. The winner of the 2021 edition of this event, once again proved his abilities with the wake boat wave. There is no one else that hits it as aggressively as Yentel does, with every take off leaving the crowds gasping. The highlight of his final has to be the full triple air rotation, stomped and at a height never seen before. He rotated even further than Sam Esteve’s signature Samair, completing all three rotations in the air, and leaving himself time to cushion the landing and look at the crowds to claim his move. He also went for a Double Air Culo, but lost the strap on the takeoff. This resulted in the most spectacular bail we have seen in a while, entertaining to say the very least. Caers accumulated 17.5 points, edging in front of Neubauer and taking the official event win."
Sam was as smooth and stylish as ever but with noticeably more pop than seen before. The on-demand tow-in freestyle discipline proved its worth by providing incredible action right in front of the crowds and the FPT production was second to none, as always.
From the FPT: "Sam Esteve (JP/NeilPryde) put in a Triple Funnel to then send it on the wave. Taking his hand off during his signature Samair as well he secured himself the third place."
