Ice Surfing

Some of my mates went ice-skating. Looks quit fun but still way to cold :)

Steven

Steven Van Broeckhoven has a new website :) He's going to Tarifa next week for six weeks to prepare himself for the coming PWA 2009. His first year !!

I'm curious if he's going to provide us the same surprise as he did this year in the EFPT (also his first year) by ending 4the overal!

On his new website will be able to follow his training so be sure to check it out from time to time !

Yann Sorlut - Waiting :: part 2

I don't know if you remember some time ago the movie of Yann Sorlut, but they have made a longer version of it with some crazy guys and some wonderfull effects :)

Check it out!

Hit the lip !

Looking windy :)

Although freezing cold and kinda rainy, it still looks like a very windy weekend :)

I hope i can make to the water and surf a bit longer then 15 minutes before freezing blue... :):):)

All and all, it was OK

Today i had a mixed session. The wind was coming late and was not so strong as predicted, but still it was a nice handful for the 6.4 AirX. Although they predict for tomorrow some nice winds, i doubt that i can make it, because again it is coming quit late...
Tuesday (thank god for public holidays) it's going to be 24 knots, a bit of rain but still some nice temperate for this time of the year (10-11°C). There are some photo's taken, but i don't know if they ok enough to publish, i'll see...

Finally some riding again

Although it is almost a week ago, i had a relative nice but short session last week. The wind was flaky, not to strong, nearly not long enough (only 2 hours worth mentioning) but i enjoyed totally. It was almost 2 months ago that I've been on the water.. i hope that we will get some more windy weekends because until now it has been very sad..

Still didn't buy a new wave board, still a bit doubting what will be the best for me. But some good news, I've ordered Tricktonary II but i can only open it when it's Christmas.. :(
Polakow movies are on their way to, can't wait to see them !!

Surfing Rat

I just read a funny article. It's about a fourteen year old who's teaching his rat to surf :)

New Wave board

What should i do, what should i do... since my mates are more and more into wavesurfing (and i always loved it) i'm doubting to buy a new board. But i can't decided which one... Who can help me?

I think i'm going for the Kombat Technora 07, 87 liters because this one give me enough pleasure with light and high winds... but still not sure yet..

Yann Sorlut - Waiting

Definitely worthy of looking at. Very nice movie (a bit short) and super smoothly edited!!

My first wakeboard session.

Since there was no wind for quit some time and the weather was outstanding (a lot of wind would have been better of course, but still) I decided to join my work colleague Stepan Wagenknecht to join him on his wake board session somewhere in Holland.

I must say, I had a lot of fun and it is a lot physical tougher than first presumed. But definitely a do again. For a first timer, I didn't do it that bad... by the end I was able to go halfway the full lake, which was a bit more then I suspected to achieve :)

Stepan in full action :)

So Stepan, thx again and see you on the next session :)

Second Part of Domburg

The second part of the 'photoshoot' is on swell.be !!

Be sure to check it out!

New Domburg photo's

At last I managed to get some photo's online of our super trip to Domburg.

Enjoy!






More follow later on (and this time it won't take as long as before :))

Stacked

Just a quick post. I know, I know, I still have to post the photo's of Domburg but i didn't had the time, yet..

In the meanwhile, check out this awesome vid of Gollito and Paskowski!

Domburg vacation

It is a real real real shame on me that it took so long. But here is the first photo :)

The others are coming soon, including a more travel like story with it.

Domburg - Holland

Well, it's decided. We're going to Domburg. It's not as extreme as the previous choice, but looking @ the current forecasts the better one. Not as far away is a bit of a plus to because we can get an evening session on arrival and stay longer on Sunday's...

Hoping for lot's of wind in combination with glazzy waves so we can both windsurf as surf.

Blancs Sablons - France

We are thinking about going to Blancs Sablons @ France.




Judging from the pictures it can get pretty epic !!

We'll see how it will be.. it looks pretty fine, but it's well over max. distance of 600km

Last minute weekend

Yesterday went for bike ride with Gino and somehow we decided to go on a 4 day windsurfing trip next week. We don't have a location yet, but it should be somewhere @ mid/north France or north Netherlands. Reason is fairly simple, we can't drive much further otherwise we don't have any surfing time left. But we want some wind or @ least wave security so that we can either windsurf or golf surf.

So if anyone has suggestions, please share it :) Very mucho thanx !! You're always welcome to come along also.. i've heard that Jelle C. is interested to :)

Steven Van Broekhoven

UPDATE: Steven took the 4the place in the double elimination @ Milos beach. He has secured his 4the place in the overall results. Congratz dude !!
-------

He did a great job @ Lefkada, Vassiliki. He became fifth (shared spot) which has allowed him to step up on the overall ladder by becoming fourth overall. Not bad for a first timer he :)

Next stop is in the north of the same island. Hoping that this time their will be enough wind throughout the whole competition so that at least this time the doubles can be finished.

Check this movie out! It's a Dahab compilation from Gollito and Paskowski with some truly amazing awesome freestyle action !!
