Freestyle videos for the sunday afternoon

Maarten — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:53:33 +0000

If your aren’t at the water windsurfing today, then I have two fun freestyle movies for you. This first video shows Steven van Broeckhoven (B72) during a training session in Tarifa.

This movie shows the 15 year old windsurfer Nick van Ingen (H-122). What is this guy good for his age! The action shots were made at the Grevelingendam, The Netherlands.

Do you know what a bongka is? Gollito Estrodo wrote on his blog that he added the bongka to his freestyle arsenal. Check here how he jumps this new freestyle move at the PWA World Cup on Gran Canaria.

Lots of sun no wind. What to do?

Maarten — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 22:07:13 +0000

The weather forecast is fantastic for this weekend, lots of sun but probably no wind. But who says that you need a lot of fun to rip hard? There are plenty ways to have fun on low wind days.

Check out this low wind freestyle session… Impressive! That will take a lot of hours practicing to get on that skill level.

I really enjoy browsing Windsurfing Magazine or Boards when there is no wind. Magazines like these will give you a ton of background information. The “latest” news will probably be known to you since you can read it on the internet. But despite of that, it is still very valuable to read those kind of magazines.

SUP or Stand Up Paddle surfing is hot. I can imagine that SUP doesn’t appeal to you at all. Surf legend Robby Naish has a great promotional surf videos online which shows that SUP doesn’t have to be boring at all. Or even better… grab an SUP board and go out on the water. Then you can really tell what you think of it. Robby Naish must be a lucky man being able to do all those surf sports like windsurfing, kitesurfing and normal surfing. See you on the water!
