Estonia's well-known Formula class windsurfer Martin Ervin (20-th position in world ranking) definitely tries to improve his result.

In addition, in Lithuania showed good stage races also Estonians John Kaju and Erno Kaasik - we'll see… Hardly any of us are going to hit waves with the home field advantage" says Martin Ervin about coming races.
