The Moroccan stylemaster Boujmaa Guilloul got injured a few days ago while doing a bottom turn at Hookipa on Maui. It is quite a bad timing for him, as today is the start of the Starboard photoshoot for 2013 equipment on Maui and Boujmaa has to stay out of the water for at least 4 more weeks. Read below a quick interview with Boujmaa.
A hard hitting wave ridding film shot by a group of Polish dudes. They rode a lot of different spots in South Africa, and according to there right up had some crazy ideas. Check it out!
The message of the movie is simply: “Dont let go”.
As in windsurfing, as in life.
We know what we are talking about. Since we started this project in capo verde 2010 ( Flo Jung, Camille Juban, Boujmaa Guilloul and Robby Swift) we had to face problems like injuries (big time!!!), finding the financial support or just being at the right place at the right time.
In that way, we want to express our own vision of windsurfing in this movie – showing innovative wave sailing, with a creative storyboard and mindblowing action. We want to get people motivated, to go riding on their own, push their limits and get over their fears.
Featured riders: Boujmaa Guilloul, Camille Juban, Flo Jung & Robby Swift and others.
Locations: Morocco, Maui, Guadeloupe, Europe and elsewhere…
Sponsored by: Fiat Freestyle Team, Mystic, Gun Sails, Long Horn Energy, O’neill, Swox, Starboard
