Two Clips - Freestyling in Le Brusc

Just two short films made on a good day in Le Brusc. The sun spoiled the quality of the first one a bit. Enjoy anyway!

Riding the new JP Australia Freestyle 95 in overpowered conditions

Image
A couple of days ago, I received the 2025 JP Australia Freestyle 95. This board comes in the new S-Tec construction making it lighter and a lot more responsive on the water. I tried the board in marginal conditions first and found that it planed through wind lulls a lot easier than the previous model. I also really like the more custom-look design. There's less colour and the whole board looks a lot more like tailored to performance.  Then, Saturday came and with it a rather average forecast. We headed to Ahrenshoop just to be surprised with strong winds for 4.0 and a very choppy playground. I didn't even bring the waveboard. So here I was overpowered on 4.4 and the new board. With a balmy 4 degrees, I first had some trouble landing my moves but felt more in tune with the elements as the session went on. I put the camera on the beach and recorded some moves, too.  Let's hope for some more good freestyle sessions soon. Be sure to check back here for updates.

Article in New SURF Magazine - Mai Issue

Image
After a little more than a year's work, I could finally finish a travel feature for the German SURF magazine. It sheds light on some hidden gems in Northern Germany. This region has more to offer than just the North and Baltic Sea. There are also numerous lakes that are great for windsurfing. They are often surrounded by deep forest and a lot less popular with tourists than seaside spots. But see for yourself and get a new copy of Germany's and probably Europe's biggest windsurfing magazine - SURF magazine. You can also watch a preview right here.

Kurzer Nordwindsurf nach Feierabend auf dem Darß

Image
Die Vorhersage für den heutigen Donnerstag war schon seit einigen Tagen vielversprechend. Ein starker Nordwind drückte viel Wasser in die Mecklenburger Bucht, so dass im Prinzip alle Spots mit Buhnen durch das Raster fielen. Es war ein grauer Tag mit viel Regen.  Wir versuchten es auf dem Darß und wurden fündig. Die Wellen wurden von einem Wellenbrecher geordnet, blieben oft lange rund und brachen dann schnell und manchmal auch kraftvoll.  Der Ultimate Wave 75 von JP hat mir auch in den heutigen, anspruchsvollen Bedingungen mit viel Strömung sehr gut gefallen.  Gerne würde ich öfters in Starboardtack-Bedingungen, also mit Wind von rechts Surfen. Leider sind solche Stürme wie heute sehr selten an der mecklenburgischen Ostseeküste. Dabei ist es doch ein wahres Geschenk, dass man nach der Arbeit noch eine gute Stunde vor der Dunkelheit ein paar schöne Wellen abreiten kann und so die Kraft der Naturgewalten spürt. Die Energie des Wassers und des Windes überträgt sich auf das ...
