The windsurfing spots, in the Cape of Good Hope area, have a unique appeal. We would have liked to start exploring them, beginning with most forgiving ones. On the contrary, on Saturday, January 26, 2019, we ended up trying first the most challenging one, maybe: Cape Point. It was a day to remember, in which we could also observe many skilled riders in action.

Thursday, 24 January 2019, the coast of the Western Cape, in South Africa, was reached by a big swell, with waves that were even 4 meters high. The concomitant presence of the Cape Doctor, the famous South East wind often blowing over Cape Town, gave us some really amazing sessions. I went out in the morning at Sunset Beach, and in the afternoon at Big Bay, to discovered, then, that I had surfed in the middle of an incredible team of professional riders.

Windsurf: freestyle maneuvers catalog
- Details
- Hits: 542
Many of you will have happened to be in a spot, seeing a windsurfer performing a freestyle maneuver, and wondering which maneuver he/she is landing. It may be simple curiosity, but more often you would like to learn it, and then you need to know its name, to look for instructional material that explains it clearly. We have therefore decided to classify them and create a catalog of freestyle maneuvers to help you, to get that purpose.

A weekend with winds from the East, that started, for us, in Cannes, on Saturday, at Palm Beach, with about 30-35 knots wind, and good waves; the spot, though, was too crowded. In the evening, we ended with a fine dinner in good company, in Antibes.

We had never seen Andora, like this.... A huge sea, lifted by a sirocco, welcomed us Tuesday, October 30, 2018, unfortunately not accompanied by a wind of adequate quality, which would have been necessary to handle such conditions decently. Despite this, some fearless riders attempted the exit.

A week after riding at Urnersee (Switzerland) with the South Foehn, we had another chance to go out with the Foehn, this time coming from the North, and at the South of the Alps. Once again, it was a very strong wind session, even if not of the best quality. Awkward air temperature: 30 Celsius degrees in late october!
