MG Windsurfing

The title says it all - I spent some time in Northern Germany at the beginning of the new Year. I have had two good sessions but the light was just really bad for filming and taking photos. So the quality of the footage is not as good as it should be. I still tried to make a little video that tries to capture the gloomy atmosphere of a typical winter's day in Northern Germany. It basically shows some slow-motion footage, combined with the atmospheric music of Iceland's Mùm. A grey sky, some light drizzle and a chilly wind were on the menu.

Conditions at the Speicherkoog, a small artificial lake close to the North Sea near Meldorf, were not really pumping yesterday. I was on 4.6 and the 90l freestyle board. It was still a lot of fun to windsurf with Jannes and to push each othe...
