Leon Jamaer big jumps and big crashes. Leon recently left Hot Sails and Fanatic to sign with JP and Neilpryde, and he shared a few words about it on facebook:
I have been with Hot Sails Maui for the last 7 years and with Fanatic for the last 5 years. I want to thank them, especially Jeff, Craig, Karin and Torben, but also everyone else who helped me along the way, it has been great! I just signed contracts with JP and Neilpryde and am stoked they put trust in me and also give me the opportunity to turn fully pro and focus on what I want to do anyway – being in the water.
After six weeks on the road I am now happy to come home. Just boarded Santiago – Miami – New York – London – Frankfurt – Hamburg… maybe few more detours as it looks like the big storm in Europe is shutting down airports.
Here is a short clip, probably the last one with Hot and Fanatic, from the other day in Churio using the KS3 4,3 and Quad 82.
see you on the water!
Victor Fernandez is fresh off a strong PWA season finishing 3rd in the overall wave rankings. After the Aloha Classic he stayed on Maui for some off season training and fun, check out his clip!

3 Minutes of Ho’okipa action with Graham Ezzy.
Going through hard drives on this Sunday afternoon, I found 2-year-old footage from the Don’t Let Go Maui filming (shot by Manu Grafenauer). The clips are of a more traditional, Hookipa flavor than the adventure filming I’ve been doing in Mexico, California, and Madagascar (coming soon!). I couldn’t help throwing the footage together into a 3-minute action edit. It’s 2 years old but still very relevant. -Graham
Stay tuned for more videos from Graham Ezzy.
UK pro John Skye wrapped this year up in a respectable 8th on the PWA wave tour. Check out his latest clip as he hits up Maui and South Africa.
I really should go somewhere different, but everything is so set up for the South Africa/Maui winters. Roberto has base camp set up in South Africa for all the testing, and then we always head to Maui for the photoshoots. I get sailing on both sides, conditions are always great and I guess the biggest factor is we have learnt over the years the best way to the most out of each trip. So this is South Africa and Maui – Again!

Check out this insane action clip from Boujmaa at his home in Morocco.
When I read my first Windsurf magazine there was a shot of Ross mid back loop on an old blue board and yellow Gaastra sail beautifully shot from the water by John Carter. There was this stunning steep backdrop and I remember not being able to work out in my head how you could be jumping so close to a cliff and that England even had places like this. It was basically where my obsession with windsurfing all started. That picture was cut out and stayed on my bedroom wall for years.
A couple of days ago I went over as a foot passenger on the hover craft from my home town Portsmouth with one board bag, a tripod and my camera stuff to score a day at Niton. I filmed for 2 hours with one battery then went for a sail. The conditions aren’t exactly classic Niton and was a bit onshore, but nevertheless I like the clip and is one that’s a bit special to me.
It’s never been a matter to us that windsurfing was dead, hell no it’s not dead.

Ummmm…next time maybe we can do without the old dude in a speedo.
