In Leucate, France, the first windsurfing park in the world has been opened. The surf spot has some cool kickers and sliders in the water which you normally only see during indoor events. The guys behind the windsurf park released this trailer to let you get glimpse of the freestyle possibilities.
It looks really cool but I’m wondering why some of them are wearing clothes over their wetsuits. Maybe they are talking too much to kitesurfers…

Not at all! These hardcore windsurfers show that low temperatures are not holding them back.

Some weird news today. Andy Irons passed away on Tuesday. The 32 old 3x world champion supposedly died of an unknown cause, others say that he died due to a heavy dengue fever. Some sources report that he died from a drugs overdose. There will be an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Anyway, Andy Irons was an incredible surfer and will certainly be missed. He leaves his pregnant wife behind. Watch this video to see why he is such a surfing legend.
The NY Times also has an interesting article about Andy.
