Il Duce captures a winner

There can be no doubt that actually the SuperFoilers were the real winners this Summer. The Dream Team on Euroflex won the series in the end, but it went all the way to the last round, which makes for a great spectacle. Pictured above are LtoR Lachy Gilmour, Nathan Outteridge and Glenn Ashby. Absent - regular Bowman, Iain 'Goobs' Jensen is in Bermuda for the Moths.

Andrea Francolini (Il Duce) was out on the water for the last day of the inaugural Grand Prix series and turned in this gallery of his usual - exceptional images.
