Maui life of Sebastian Kornum

Danish pro Sebastian Kornum share a bit of his life on Maui, with surfing, SUP and wavesailing.

Sebastian Kornum wins the 2012 NeilPryde Venø Grand Prix

If you’re not familiar with the NeilPryde Ø-Grandprix competition, let me quickly break it down for you: it is a windsurfing and kiteboarding series of long distance races that take place around the Danish Islands. Anyone, on any type of gear can participate. So kiterboarders and windsurfers gather and take part in a fun competition.

A total of 47 riders enjoyed 18-24 knots of wind and blue skies, during the fantastic 25-kilometre race around the beautiful island Venø.   Winner Sebastian Kornum has beaten the record with an incredible 25 knots of average speed on his JP Formula and Neil Pryde EVO 4.  He was followed by Danni Jakobsen and another JP/NeilPryde teamrider Christian Justesen on third.

The event also allowed time and perfect conditions for a full freestyle competition and a speed trial measured with a true police detector.    In freestyle Rasmus Øgelund won the competition with Jonas Knudsen in second and Sebastian Kornum in third.  In speed, Danni Jakobsen made the fastest ahead of Justesen.
