Montargil Portugal - The Dutch wakeboarder Rocco van Straten has done it again! For the second time within a week he has won an European Title in his sport wakeboarding.First in Finland he won the ECWC Title Junior Men Cable Wakeboard. Last weekend he has won the EAME European Title Wakeboard Boat in Montargil, Portugal.

On itself this is an unique achievement for the Dutch Wakeboarder. Only a handful wakeboarders in Europe compete in both competitions and only one wakeboarder has done the same trick before "Nick Davies" by winning both titles after each other in one year.

For Rocco the preparation towards, this title was dramatic. Due to a mistake caused by the airline company. Rocco's baggage was not on the same plane from Finland to Lissabon and did not arrived in time. Because of that Rocco van Straten could not train in advance and he started untrained for his qualification last Thursday. Result he fell two times.

In his last chance by LCQ he convinced the jury and was back in the game. During the quarterfinals he showed his skills and went as first in his run through to the finals. As No:1 and best qualified of 6 riders he started last of the dock in the final and Rocked!
