Watch this video about what a professional racing windsurfer does for living! Inspiring new video from our World Champion Matteo Iachino! We wish Matteo good luck for the 2018 PWA season ahead.

It refers to the life of a windsurfer without a coach, manager or any other system that tells you what to do, when to work out, when to book tickets, how to find sponsors and how to make a living. We are our own coaches, managers and time planners. So to get where you want as a windsurfer, you simply need to get your shit done – because a windsurfer’s life is the best life! – Oda Johanne

The third day of the Mercedes-Benz Windsurf World Cup Sylt was a sunny day full of slalom action. The eliminations with one winner: Marco Lang!

Although better know for his commentary skills... Roberto Hofmann has spent the last couple of years focusing on speed sailing... and has goals of joining the 50knot club. So with all the members of the 50knot club doing it here in Luderitz it makes sense he has made the journey. We caught up with him yesterday to have a chat!

Am gestrigen Freitag konnten wir ein spektakuläres Dithmarscher Towin Event vor einem vollen Publikum am Strand des Mercedes-Benz Surffestival 2018 durchführen. Nachdem am Mittag die Qualifikationsläufe seitliche des Eventgeländes durchgezogen wurden sind, haben sich Foivos Tsoupras, Niclas Nebelung, Tim Karsten und Anton Munz ins Finale ziehen lassen? Um 17Uhr wurde das Finale am Hauptstrand des Festival Geländes über die Bühne gebracht. Hierbei konnte Foivos Tsoupras, den wohl ersten Skopu in deutscher Towin Geschichte erzielen. Niclas Nebelung sicherte sich knapp hinter Foivos den zweiten Platz mit einem AirFunnel Funnel. Anton Munz kam auf Platz 3 mit einem Airfunnel Funnel, Platz 4 ging an Tim Karsten, der einen Shaka im Towin zeigen konnte. Ein erfolgreicher Tag ging zu Ende. Am Abend fand dann noch die German Freestyle Battle Party statt bei der DJ Kev das Haus ordentlich einheizte. Für Sonntag sieht der Wind weiterhin gut aus, um einen Start der Dingle Elimination zu starten.

Sail Designer Ben Severne fly's in to take a closer look at the event and get some first hand feedback.... and you don't get any better feedback that Blasting down the channel!! Now that's dedication to the cause... and a love of windsurfing! But... did he get down in one piece!!!??

Windsurfing is an easily-accessible sport - To get started, you will need a board and a rig, which is made up of a sail, mast, mast base and a boom. Windsurf boards and sails come in a variety of shapes and sizes and the rider's weight will influence your choice. If you are new to the sport it's best to use a small sail and a board that is wide and buoyant - this will give you the confidence and stability to master the basic techniques. As you progress you can move onto a smaller board, larger sails, and using a harness and footstraps. Are you interested in seeing what Ricardo uses during his stay in Hawaii? Have a look at what he brings to the beach on his Toyota Tacoma! I am a Brazilian born professional windsurfer. I moved to Venezuela when I was a child and began professional windsurfer. My passion drove me to become three-time world freestyle champion in 2003, 2004 and 2005.
