Collateral to the AWI World Championships in the US, the best European teams, those who were not able to make it to the Worlds, met close to Lyon ( France ) and for the first time in history of the European AWI, they competed for 3 European Champion titles ( T/C Only, Freestyle Only and Combined ).

Here we want to say THANK YOU to Yannick Thoulon and Canissimo (http://www.canissimo.fr/), who made a great job in hosting the EC. And of course we want to say THANK YOU to our sponsors of the European AWI series, who again supported the series and without them, we would not be able to run the series the way we do. THANK YOU Borderline-Shop, HeroDiscUSA and Druckstübchen Bremen!

We also want to say, THANK YOU to our judges who jumped in the challenge to find the best teams in each category. THANK YOU Conny Sawicki, Gesien Broekhuijsen and Simone Ciuffo Giordano!! You made an awesome job!!

But what would a competition be without the competitiors? Players from 6 countries came and faced really hard wind conditions. And they showed incredible performance. THANK YOU to all teams, who made the trip to France for playing at the AWI European Championship!
