Ireland's representative on the Professional Windsurfing Association wave tour, 19-year-old Mikey Clancy (IR 253), had a great final event at the weekend in exceptionally tough conditions in Sylt, Germany. More over the fold.
With huge winds and rough seas to deal with, Mikey won a second round elimination contest which then saw him ranked in 25th overall in the world for the 2009 season. It was Mikey's first year to compete on the PWA world wave tour, having competed in IWA (the Irish events) for a few years
