In this video, sail designer Artur Szpunar explains what the main focus points were during the development of the TR-8 racing sail. He also talks about what has been improved compared to last year. The TR-8 is MauiSails top of the line racing sail and will be used by sailors like Micah Buzianis (see Micah picking up his sails).

Wesh Center Crew Windsurf Park

Maarten — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:27:46 +0000

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…

To cold for windsurfing?

Maarten — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 21:29:12 +0000

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

Incredible high jumps!

Maarten — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 21:45:04 +0000

Some of the best PWA windsurfers went out equipped with the new ShadowBox with only one goal: to jump as high as possible. And so they did. Boujmaa Guillol managed to jump an amazing 62 feet (=18,9 meters). Check out this great action packed video with incredible high jumps.

The ShadowBox is a new GPS unit that attaches to your board so you can analyse your speed, distance covered, heights during jumps, and much more. Check ShadowBoxlive for more info about these GPS devices.

Tow-in windsurfing?

Maarten — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 13:39:31 +0000

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 possible with windsurfing equipment. Kauli Seadi did a tow in session at big wave spot Jaws. On 1:03 you can see how he is towed in.

Windsurfing in the Carribean is hot!

Maarten — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 20:11:09 +0000

The upcoming events prove that windsurfing is hot in that region of the world. But we all know that already! Beautiful weather, amazing spots and trade winds. Can you ask for more? Probably not.

Master of the Caribbean

Red Bull is organizing a special race called “Master of the Caribbean”. The concept is simple: who will be the fastest windsurfer during the deep sea crossing, between the islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique?

Only 7 windsurfer will compete for the title. Among them are also Antoine Albeau and Peter Volwater.

The crossing will take place on the 2^nd to the 9^th of March 2010.

Curacao Challenge

After last year’s spectacular success, the organizers of the Curacao Challenge Slalom and Freestyle windsurfing competition, planned an even bigger and better event. This time, from the 1^st – 6^th of April 2010.

The event will be held at the Seaquarium Beach and the Spanish waters. You can sign up now.

Children of the Wind

The Caribbean also has a lot of talented windsurfers, especially on Bonaire. How can it be that such a small island with 13.000 people dominates the world professional rankings in freestyle?

That’s the main question in the new upcoming movie called “Children of the Wind”. Check out the trailer:
