5 may 2012: ISAF has decided to replace Windsurf by Kitesurf at the Olympic Games.
This decision is not understandable!
Grouped in the Defi Wind, the big international community of Windsurf want to tell this message.

Saturday on the beach in Mondello is something that is hard to write about, dificult to capture in photo or video. You have to be here to see, feel and understand. Here is just a little attempt to capture the best moments of another World festival on the beach day.

15 Year old Bernd Roediger sailing and paddling a Hookipa late season North swell. Keith from Quatro just finished Bernd’s new SUP board and this was Bernd’s first chance to try the board. It’s clear to see Keith is creating some magic in his shaping room!

The biggest windsurfing event world wide is about to start at Gruissan. First days were about registration and chiling out on the local beach of the Chalets with lots of live music. May the Tram’ be with us for the week end!
Life is full of challenges. And it has not been any different today. Thanks to hard work of organizers beach got bigger this morning, as well as the swell overnight. Side shore winds coming down from the big mountain were gusting from 5-30knots so it is hard to imagine more challenging conditions for racing and especially team racing as today. Hard for the Olympians and even harder for the kids on techno.
We are proud to announce that the brilliant sail brand KA Sails will be supporting the PWA in 2012. Following on from this great news we took the opportunity to find out the ins and outs about the brand and its history. Head over to the PWA website for the full story.
Seen more and more, the double forward loop is becoming a standard move in competitions. Not just the PWA World Tour but even national tours as well. So with more and more going for them, it’s about time we find out the finer details and technique. We approached Marcilio Browne to give us the low-down on how to go big!
Head over to Boardseeker for all the details!
