WHY is a short movie about an unforeseeable change. The dutch windsurfer Amanda Beenen takes us back to the origin of her windsurf passion. In 2004 – where this story starts – horse riding was her favorite thing to do. Back than it was very unlikely that she would ever live the life she is living now. A traumatic accident changed everything and her life turned in a totally different direction. Almost a decade later, it is clear to see, that without this incident she would most probably still horse ride and would have never put her feet into the straps of a windsurf board.
Martin Ten Hoeven is the PWA’s tallest rider at 2.05M and can often make the waves look small, but still rips. While on Tenerife he teamed up with Bartek Jankowski and put together this sweet action clip.

Australia Pro Ben Newson recently released this solo video as a fun project testing some filming methods in Western Australia.
I recently went “Hans Solo” on a mission to the South coast of WA on a recent good forecast hoping to score some good conditions and explore some new locations. Seeing as though I was the only person on the beach I decided to set my tripod up in the hope to get a bit of footage. I jammed the legs into the sand and rested the lense against the trusty Toyota for some stabilization from the wind. I call it the set and forgot method, a bit like fishing when you dont have the line in your hands. It was a bit painful at times and a lot of action was missed either out of frame or because the camera decided to stop recording. It stayed on at Mutton Bird Beach but didn’t want to play nice at the good spot. I managed to get a bit of action (not the best i know) and cut it together into a short clip to show the conditions on offer. It was more about testing out whether this method of filming would work. It was filmed with a canon 60D, Canon 70-200 f4 non is, Tamron 24-70 f2.8 and the goprohd 2. – Ben
A POV backloop from Justyna Sniady.
I’d like to say THANK YOU to my surgeon Piotr Piekarczyk again! I’m really stoked that despite 12 screws in my foot I got back to landing forwards and got quite consistent with my backloops just 6 months after the surgery! I am really excited to be back on the water and despite having another surgery ahead of me I am staying positive about getting my foot back to 100% soon! Thanks to everyone for their support through all the bad times and making my come back possible!:) – Justyna

The is the second clip from Victor Fernandez featuring sessions from Chile.
“Chile is one of my favourite destinations in the world, a country that I visit at least once a year. This year I spent nearly two months, we scored great surfing in the first 3 weeks and very good windsurfing in the last 20 days of the trip. It´s been great to share these moments with team mates and friends as Klaas Voget, Cisco Casas, Nacho Rocha, Arthur Arutkin, Aleix, Eric Sanllehy, Filferro and the local windsurfers from Chile. Looking forward to come back in November for the PWA World Cup!” – Victor Fernandez
