Akisphère 2011

The 2011 Akisphere,  Montreal’s annual footbag net tournament, was totally local. No one from out of town showed up, so we played it between us. There are more than enough players in this town to offer a spectacular finals. François Depatie-Pelletier and Benjamin Rochon took good care of their opponents Luc Legault and Manu Bouchard in three games 15-10, 5-15, 15-6

It was a crazy hot day, and as we played the semis on the same day, it was an act of courage to play with all their hearts like these guys did.

In singles, Luc Legault prevailed over François Depatie-Pelletier. They were followed by veterans Martin Côté and Yves Archambault.

There are three previews in the video compilation for this tournament, here’s the first one. You’ll find the two others, as well as the complete matches with scores and a lot of slow motion in the Videos section of this page.
