This is how my day started few days ago practicing and testing my slalom gear with Xavier, during my second session in the afternoon with Miguelito I had the slalom sailing worst wipe out of my life dislocating my shoulder, messed up some ligaments and muscles, I had to sail back in to the beach for about 10 minutes, worst pain ever!

In our series of slalom rider interviews from Tenerife we have one last rider to question. Alberto Menegatti, the young buck who without a doubt is a bit of a king on his home spot on Lake Garda.
