Editor — Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:34:21 +0000

Now we really get to see what it is like to windsurf in hurricane force winds. Red Bull have released their video from the first mission of the Red Bull Strom Chase series and let us just say that it really does include everything you could expect and more… When PWA Head Judge Duncan Coombs states that “everyone really sailed out of their skins” and that “it really was some of the most radical windsurfing I have ever seen” you can certainly mark his words, for this action well and truly backs up those claims.

The island of Reunion is a pretty special place. A tropical island that sits near to Mauritius just off Madagascar in the Indian Ocean, it offers perfect down the line conditions for those in search of a little adventure. Well the Ravine Boys show us the spots as they take us on a days trip to the best locations on the island and leave us with a little quote “enjoy it because one day we will be old…”

Fully into swing, the Boot Dusseldorf trade show has now passed the halfway mark, so we decided to check on on all the latest happenings from this world famous water-sports show. Be sure to crack out your German-English translator though…

Firstly, Philip Koester, the German windsurfing wunderkind received the prestigious Surfer of the Year Award for his third consecutive year. An impressive feat from such a young windsurfer, take a look at the awards presentation in this clip.

Up next, Fanatics very own freestyling German surfer Adrian Beholz has been showing his face. There are some outstanding action shots in this video as Adrian powers through all the latest freestyle moves, at the same time he talks about the new sails with the head sail designer from Sailloft.

Moving on to the German Windsurf Talent of the Year, Nico Prien who impressed all throughout the Deutsch Windsurfing Cup. Heading home with a cool €2013, it looks like he is set for some summer training. Expect to hear more from Nico in the future.

The last video for this news item comes from a popular figure in Germany, Daniell Bohnhof. Spending a lot of his time in Pozo he has built up a reputation and was asked to come on stage to talk about his latest quests and his photography plans.

The Goya sponsored frenchmen Nico Cailly is turning heads these days and it’s not just for the quality of this video. His riding, takas and tweaked airs are similar to that of Levi Sivers trademark style. Just check out this still frame we took from the video and watch the full clip below that.

For this afternoon, we’ve got this sweet edit from Fanatic/North that shows off Gollito, Fernandez and Treboux windsurfing at the highest level. As per usual Gollito is progressing and progressing, no let down for the expectations in this clip…

Lastly, we’ve got this from O’neill, nice!

Cape Town is the choice of many over the winter and there are a number of options when it comes to clinics, so if you are concerned about heading there for the first time, these guys can be just as good a guide to the location as they are at coaching. However, it is the pros that are catching our attention at the moment. In particular, Andy ‘Bubble’ Chambers who has posted a little gallery on facebook, looks like the usual logo high sunset action mixed in with a bit of freestyle on the popular lake.

A slightly different start to the norm for videos. This one is short, very short indeed but for those getting in to windsurfing it’s cool to see people just ripping and having a good time, so enjoy this no move short edit, perhaps even let us know your thoughts on it in the comments below…

Other pro sailors that have ventured south include the likes of Adam Lewis and Phil Horrocks, both of which can also be seen in this great little feature on our front page explaining in minor detail about the backloop.

More on the video front and Keith Teboul is relly one of the most influential figures in what board shapes reach our feet each year. With a strong focus on surfing and a huge talent in windsurfing he combines the two and shows us what some of his board shapes are all about with this nice little clip produced by team rider Levi Siver.

From waves to flat water and this next clip can only be the distinctive style that is Mattia Pedrani. The Italian freestyler mixes up the latest aerial combos with his own invented moves, perhaps that is really pure freestyle…

Back to waves and a mark our words this is a name to remember. Loick Lesauvage in action at his homespot in France, it’s been a while since we have seen such great talent at such a young age, just 12 years old and truly ripping.

Just to wrap up we posted a bit of formlua news from Latvia yesterday, well if that got you thinking that it looks like a bit of fun then check out these great formula racing tips from Steve Sylvester.
