The Point-7 team is working hard on the new sails for 2011. They look gorgeous as you can see on these pictures. The sails don’t contain any logo’s yet because they are prototypes. Point-7 is not a big sail brand in the Netherlands but with these sails that might change .

Tow-in windsurfing?
You probably have heard about tow-in surfing. With muscle power alone the surfer can’t make enough speed to get picked up by the wave. The solution is easy, the surfer is towed in onto the wave by a wave runner. The surfer is now able to get bigger waves.
I didn’t know that this was [...]
Hiswa 2010

There is one major difference with BOOT, there are almost no windsurfing exhibitors. As a windsurfer I wouldn’t advice you to go [...]

Impression BOOT 2010
André Paskowski gives his take on BOOT in this short video. He will show you what you can do at the expo. It seems that there are more windsurfing stands than last year. Also great remark on 1.39 .
I didn’t go this year because I was not very enthusiastic about BOOT 2009 & 2008 [...]
