Leon Jamaer (JP / NeilPryde) recently returned from Cape Town and headed straight back to Denmark, where he met up with Martin ten Hoeve (Simmer / Simmer Sails). While most people may have shied away from the Baltic conditions the German and the Dutchman didn't bat an eyelid and jumped straight in.

Leon Jamaer about two chilly winter days in Denmark:

“As no one wanted to join me I thought for hours if I should drive up to Denmark or stay home. It’s a long drive and normally when the temperatures are below 4 degrees I think windsurfing is never that much fun. I knew Lampie was up there living with his girlfriend in Klitmoeller and he said he was keen to go windsurfing so I decided from one second to the other I need to check it out. I arrived just in time for a beautiful sunset session with big sail and clean waves. The next day we went to the same spot. Strong rain was predicted but instead it was snowing the whole time – definitely much better than rain, also on the water! I never sailed in this cold conditions but I was actually never really cold except going in and out of the wetsuit. The neoprene equipment has gotten really good – and the suit and booties don’t hinder at all. You don’t want to break a mast outside so we were mostly “hiding” in the inside picking one clean wave after the other. That's the nice thing at this spot. It's really protected and hardly ever works this well.
