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!

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 !!

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 !!

Belgium Riders

As the title gave it away a bit, i'm gonna promote 2 Belgium Riders today. First Roeland De Rycker. He's posted a new movie about an after school session on Grevelingendam - Holland. It's really well put together. If he keeps this commitment and level raising, it won't take long before he joins Steven on the EFPT trips.

Speaking of.. tomorrow starts the EFPT @ Greece and the conditions are looking better then last time i checked. If it stays like this, were gonna see yet another great EFPT show.

While Steven Van Broekhoven is preparing himself in Greece, several story's are publicized about him. The one thing that always comes back is "Most improved Sailer" or "Most impressive Sailer" and they are right about it :)
Check his reports @ teamthebunch (site is in Dutch though), unfortunately his forgotten his cable so he can't send us pictures for the moment..

Prokids 2008 :: video report

As promised, a short video overview of the Saturday (very) low-wind freestyle ProKids 2008 contest. Enjoy!

Current week

Not much posting time this week, so just a quick update. I've viewed the Brazilian Search from Club Ventos and it has delivered what it has promised. I'm sure that anyone who had read their website will agree... it's a relaxed movie, pure Club Ventos style. (remember their monthly diary videos from 2007) Clean and hard action when the wind blows but mostly more background information about the riders and spots. Let's not forget, it is a movie about the search of a new spot for Club Ventos.
Off course, a bit more windsurf action is always nicer but if the wind only blows 2 of the 8 days then... you know..

Anyway, my next movie to watch will be 7 Sons of Freestyle from ContinentSeven. Just arrived this week and really looking forward to watch some kick-ass freestyle action! Off course, a short review will be posted :)

Short movie about Prokids low-wind freestyle action will be posted short after the weekend with another short movie about my first surfing action @ the Maasvlakte - Holland with some bonus material ;)

the Brazilian Search...

Get the biggest surf adventure of the year on your screen, today!

This DVD shows what happened during ClubVentos Beach Search, when Kauli Seadi, Kevin pritchard, Marcilio Browne, Andre Paskowski, Baptiste Gossein, Robby Swift and seven other PWA riders helped us to search for a new beach to open our second windsurfing center. It turned out to be the biggest surf adventure of the year, and its now time for you to discover what happened, and what they found... Download from ClubVentos for Free!


I'm already waiting on the finishing sound of my download, i will let you guys as soon as possible know what i think about the movie, although a free movie about windsurfing can't be bad. Please don't hesitate to give you're opinion.

BK Freestyle - Grevelingendam

I deeply hope that finally some wind will kick in this weekend. It's, if i'm not mistaking, the first real BK Freestyle this year. The go or no go can be viewed @ the Belgium Surfforum.

The contest will be held at Bruinisse, Grevelingendam and i will be there, probably as judge and other wise as film / photographer. (Also i'm a bit hoping to get some surf myself to)

In the mean while, here's a little video you can enjoy from Maui with Naish, Levi, ...

Although it's pretty low web quality, it's still some great footage to watch!

It's almost a month online so perhaps you'll all already saw it, but still.. it's some pretty descent wave action!
