Long awaited and anticipated. This winter Jason Polakow took on Fiji’s mighty Cloudbreak scoring some massive waves with the likes of the World Best Surfers.
At the end of May begining of June Jason Polakow was in Fiji riding the infamous Cloudbreak. Check out the awesome shots as he scored!
There were some solid 8 to 12 foot sets but because the wind was so strong from the night before there was a little bump on the outside bowl.
The inside reef however was silky smooth and if you got the right one it was sick!
A few of the big names have been at Cloudbreak, but here’s the first video. Australian windsurfer Thomas Cohen rides the infamous Cloudbreak in Fiji.
RRD rider and local Hero Paolo “il Nando” Rangaioli scores another big day, this time in Fuerteventura where he found a great combination of south west wind and north west swell. Enjoy the ride!!!
This video comes from Epic Sesh. On February 1st, the infamous break of Pe’ahi (also called Jaws) went off on Maui Hawaii. It was a slightly smaller day at Jaws compaired to other swells, but the wind was enough for Kai Lenny, Marcilio “Brawzino” Browne and Kauli Seadi to take advantage for a windsurf session. Kia also grab a kiteboard sesh.
French rider Yann Rifflet scores some big waves but light winds at the beginning of January in Ibiraquera, Brazil. “I’m going out without planning, but on the wave I had enough power and it allows me to keep good maneuverability” – Yann
The only way to describe this video is epic! Jason Polakow heads to Chili to visit Robby Swift and catches some massive waves at spot called Punta De Lobos.
I have always wanted to go to Chile as some of the largest swells on the planet hit there. Robby Swift gave me the opportunity to come down and visit his new home in Chile and try to windsurf a iconic big wave surfing spot called Punta De Lobos.
The trip was a real test to our commitment to successfully complete this story which actually came down to the last day of wind and the last few hours of light before it was all over. It really made for a exiting trip. – JP
