Adam Sims training in Tarifa, he can tell his story better then we can, so here’s what he had to say about the clip;
I went solo on the the edit with this one, drawing on experience I’ve picked up whilst cutting clips with Josh from BlackLab I thought I’d make a short action filled video that was a bit more out of the norm than most windsurf edits. I wish I’d had more time to put into it as I have a whole stack of clips still including some funny party nights and a ton of moves, maybe there will be a part 2… Anyway here it is, all the action from the trip, the busted foot, the double forward crash that lead me from one hospital to the next in an ambulance and all the spots we went to along the way.
A special thanks to my girlfriend Hanna Poschinger, to Max ‘BR Fins’, Chris and Bertl from Upsidedown.at, Jamie Drummondo and Ingrid Horgmo for filming.
Steffi Wahl finished 5th overall in the PWA rankings. She headed to Cape Town for the warm winter, and here is her latest video a wrap of of her 2012 winter in Cape Town. With her consistent results from 2012, and smooth turns, she is a women to keep an eye on in this years PWA Tour.

French freestyler Nicolas Akgazciyan bring us his latest clip of his trip to Aruba in February 2013. Here are a few word from Nicolas:
“In mid September 2012, I had a bad ankle injury and it took a time to come back on the water. So after a long period without freestyle sessions and cold weather, I choose to move again to Aruba island, to practise my freestyle moves and prepared the next season, it’ll start the 26 april in Austria. I await that Europe ‘s cold winter will leave. In the meanwhile I have some nice footage of a dream place with warm colours! I hope, you ‘ll enjoy it ! See you on the water!”

Epic conditions at Ho’okipa on April 6th. Mast and mast and a half high waves hit North Shore of Maui. A lot of the big riders were hunting for wavesd at Jaws, which did turnout as expected, but still saw some action. At that time Ho’okipa was left nearly empty, with only a few guys out. This video captures Ferdinando Loffreda, Morgan Noireaux, Nat Gill and Bernd Roediger.
The first event of the 2013 AWT is just under two months away. Here’s a crash compilation they just released from the 2012 Maui Makani Classic. Enjoy the pain!
Jamie Hancock and Timo Mullen had a session at Supertubes in Kimmeridge and give you a lesson on how not to share a wave. Although they do spend awhile taking turns smacking the lip down the line, a little error makes for a bit of a fail. We agree, so check out this clip.
Young French rider Benoit Gaudiot, at just 14 has broken 40 knots, his goal for next year, to break 45 knots. The future is looking promising for him as this young speedster stands 6 foot tall and tips the scale at 80 kilos.
