The Windsurf Project

This is something that is close to the heart. I grew up watching some of the most amazing windsurfing films which is what drove me to want to become a professional windsurfer. Not so much to be a 'pro' but to be able to go in search of incredible waves. Filmmaking for me came from wanting to make films like the ones that originally inspired me so much. 'The Windsurf Project' is the ultimate combination of those two loves of mine. It's a passion project that has already taken us to two of the most insane windsurfing events, windsurfing Nazaré and the first people to windsurf the perfect wave in Namibia.

Thomas Traversa is someone that I've spent a lot of time as team mates with Gaastra & Tabou and as friends. He has always been one of the best and most committed wavesailers who has been discovering his own waves for years. Along with Thomas and a few friends we've set out on a journey in pursuit of true perfection.

This is just a short highlight reel from these two trips and will have a full edit from Namibia to follow.

Highlights DAY 1 - Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup 2018

(Sylt, 28.09.2018). Bei Sonnenschein und knapp fünf Windstärken eröffneten die Waverider am Freitag um 13 Uhr die Wettkämpfe beim Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt. Und gleich in der ersten Runde gab es faustdicke Überraschungen. Zunächst verlor der Weltranglistenvierte Marcilio „Brawzinho“ Browne aus Brasilien völlig unerwartet gegen den Franzosen Antony Ruenes. Danach ereilte Philip Köster das gleiche Schicksal. Der viermalige Weltmeister kam als vergleichsweise schwerer Fahrer mit dem unkonstanten Wind am Brandenburger Strand nicht zurecht und musste sich in seinem Auftakt-Heat dem Franzosen Julien Quentel geschlagen geben. Bei den Damen herrschte dagegen eitel Sonnenschein. Zunächst zog Lina Erpenstein aus Kiel nach einer souveränen Vorstellung gegen die Niederländerin Maaike Huvermann in das Halbfinale ein. Kurze Zeit später machte ihr die Kielerin Steffi Wahl dieses Kunststück nach und bezwang die starke Polin Justyna Sniady sicher. „Die Bedingungen waren schwierig, aber ich habe mich vor allem in der Welle unglaublich wohl gefühlt“, so Wahl nach ihrer tollen Leistung. Lina Erpenstein: „Ich konnte trotz der wechselnden Winde meine Moves voll durchziehen. Jetzt ist vor diesem tollen Publikum ein Podiumsplatz möglich.“

Die knapp über 30 Rider trafen sich am Samstagmorgen bei bestem Wind und Sonnenschein am Spot und gegen 11:00 wurde die Hinrunde des Wettkampfes gestartet. Die Windverhältnisse an diesem Tag waren sehr durchmischt, in einigen Regenfronten fegte der Wind mit guten 30 Knoten über das Wasser.
