His nearest rival, Red Bull athlete Bjorn Dunkerbeck showed moments of pure excellence, but a few mistakes gave Albeau the chance to relax and Dunkerbeck settled in second place.

Dunkerbeck on his second place: "6 slalom races happened here in Jinha Beach this year. The wind was good, but not as strong as I hoped for. it was a great chance to test my new material, both Boards and Sails, and I am happy about the good start into the new season. My speed was definitely very good and I enjoyed the sailing here."

The second Red Bull rider Arnon Dagan from Israel finished 9th.

Next stop: Costa Brava, 8-13 June
