Brasil:
A couple of days ago I arrived in Brasil. Jericoacoara, known for choppy waters strong winds and sometimes little waves. This place is challenging. The world best come over here to practice and polish their skills for the upcoming competition season. So far I really had to get used to the conditions. My hands where kind of suffering from blisters the first few days. The water is warm, like taking a warm bad at home. Very nice! Here the first few images from my first days in Jericoacoara.

Neilpryde Wizard 2016
For all of you windsurfers out there! Somedays ago I received the whole new Neilpryde Wizard 2016. After intense testing for well over one year by the NEILPRYDE WINDSURFINGdesign team and team riders, the new Wizard came out. My experience; incredible sail pop (even way more than before..) Very wide windrange, loads of control, quick planning and as one might expected, lighter than ever. Yes it’s different and I’m convinced it will blow your mind too! Each sail does have the same characteristics, though details are different. Some sizes might be just used in powerful winds some in lighter. For instance the 4,2 and 3,8 no need for loads of pumping characteristics. Giving these sizes more control like a 5m2 makes you feel in control, in even the craziest wind conditions given by mother-nature. As for the bigger sizes (5,1 up to 5,7). Amazingly fast planning but still loads of control whilst being overpowered. To sum it up; each sail has it’ own flavor and I’m glad these peaces of art will help me getting my level on a new height. And you got to admit they are quite fashionable too right?!

Interview wit Windsurf UK
The other day I had a fun interview with Cheers guys! I would like to thank my friends Oliver Staufacher capturing those great photos. And Sven Akerboom for the preproduction, you guys are the best. Btw I can’t wait for another session at Big Bay, South-Africa. Just love it there for both Freestyle and Jumping.

The Mission: We had the chance to give a nice freestyle clinic for all visitors at Strand Horst. We were supposed to go on the water, but because of the lack of wind, we decided to do more of a Q and A. This also allowed us showing the first previews of the new Neilpryde Wizard, right now the best Freestyle sail on the market.
Wave ladies:
Again the group of the wave ladies grew a lot. This time we’ve had great conditions at Wijk aan Zee. We started of with flatwater and later it turned out to have nice wavy conditions. The given conditions turned out to be the perfect training ground for all ladies. Some were jumping even their first forward loops, pretty amazing to see everybody pushing it so much on this beautiful day.
