Dimitris Maniatis is working on a project to highlight the best freestyle windsurfing action on the Greek scene. The project began in late October 2012, with no rush for deadlines or sponsor deals, so expect the epic action… sometime in the future.
Here is the teaser!
Featuring the riding of Alex Prapas, Stamatis Probonas, Alex Tetsis, Nick Athanasiou, Teo Bathrelos and Konstantinidis bros.

Italian freestyler Mattia Pedrani has released his latest clip.
This video is different from my previous clips. The action isn’t as fast and it focuses more on the beautiful scenery covered by 15cm of powder. The track is also smoother and communicates the surreal atmosphere I could feel when walkin around the streets and the beach covered in snow, ready to hit the water. As the title suggests, the need to go windsurfing goes beyond petty things like below zero temperatures and whether it’s actually snowing or not. It’s way too easy to be doin tricks in shorts somewhere where the water’s pancake flat.
The struggle represents the ultimate test for your passion and dedication and once you overcome it, it just makes you appreciate everything more.
As you can probably understand from me autoclosing my wetsuit, I was completely by myself and I also had to leave the Ghettocam recording on the beach by itself and try to pull tricks in front of it.
Icing on the cake, there’s a pretty big surprise in it too! 🙂
