Transfer season and here is another of the early ones with a difference, Antoine competed last year on the PWA without a board sponsor. Rumours are flying about about some big changes this year, keep an eye here for the latest…
Remi Vila, head of racing R&D:
“Antoine has the potential to achieve some seriously good results, and as a fellow Caribbean racer rider, I am happy to welcome him to the racing team. Riders like Antoine, but also Jimmy Diaz, Sarah-Quita, Taty Frans and Morane Demont show that Carribean racing is a force to be reckoned with.”
Antoine Questel:
“In 2011, I decided to race without a board sponsor and simply bought the boards that suited my style best. For 2012, it is with great pleasure to announce that I joined the prestigious Starboard International Team. I’m really motivated to represent the brand the best way possible on both the national and international racing circuit. My goals are ambitious and Starboard board’s performance will be an asset for me to get into the PWA top 10. Competition is tough but this season I continued to progress, gained confidence and showed that I could be very competitive. I’m currently in St Barth with my family for the holidays. I will begin my training on my new boards right now, giving me two months of preparation before the first event in Vietnam in February.”
