Part 2

Two Shapers Walk Into a Bar from SURFING Magazine on Vimeo.

It's been a whil since the last post.... been really bussy with a lot of things.... interesting times ahead as well, but hopefully also some time to do things I like as well.... too be continued ;-)

For now a little movie that shows what it's all about....

My brothers birthday, but I got the best present ;-) Light wind, but perfect waves.... and my brother actually took a few pics before the batteries died. Not a lot of action, but it shows a bit of the conditions.

Some quick pictures from last Saturday at Doniños. Sun, wind and waves.... Perfect day ;-)

Kauli on Fire (light) from Hot Sails Maui on Vimeo.

Birdseye view of mother natures art....

Well, they are sold ;-)

Great side-on session with Bas at Ouddorp. North-east wind is just perfect for jumping non-stop ;-)

Just too bad the high water in the rivers brought some nasty smelling water right at the spot. Her are some images of the high water in the rivers.

It seems some people had is a lot worse.....

One...

...two...

...tweaked!

 Testing the Firelight...

 ...the Superfreak Maui Edition...

...and the KS3 prototype?!? (don't really like the color combo)

Not the same feeling as out in the ocean, but looks like fun. Like the fact that it makes a right and left at the same time.

A great movie.... a must see!!

Here's the official trailer...

Teahupo'o.... Crazy man still ripping it ;-)

Just to show how crazy, here's a clip of him jumping of a boat in the middle of the Atlantic.... Have to say, it's quite high ;-)

...... nothing much to say ;-)

Jaso Polakow at Cloudbreak, Fiji.... warming it up before the ASP guys will hit it in a few days ;-)

Always nice when someone takes a picture of you, even when it's not intended ;-) Thanks Ridge!!

Conditions where bad, but had some time on the water and in the sun to test the light wind ability of my 5,7 Firelight.....

The beach at the Ulsan worldcup

Shane Dorian in deep at Teahupoo.... Amazing!!! Would love to see the video from this GoPro footage ;-)

Awesome shot made with a K4 harness mount

Interesting bottom

The winners of the Billabong XXL awards will be announced tonight. Paige Alms is one of the nominees for the girls performance award. Hope you take the award home tonight, Paige!!


More on the Billabong XXL awards on their site.

Surfing Teahupo'o deserves respect (here we see the late Andy Irons), but how about the photographer swimming around in this picture ;-)

Today in Bretagne. Not too big, but it seems like a lot of fun. Thanks for keeping us updated with your great pictures Pierre-Yves!!

Perfect shot by Franck Berthuot.

So happy with our second girl and very proud of her mom and big sister!!! Lara was born last Sunday evening and is doing very well.

Side off shore winds in Galicia. 04/2013 from Sebas Bamonde on Vimeo.

Must be nice to live in Japan..... Lots of things available ;-)

Here's a nice looking SUP by Sean available through Stokegear in Japan. One of the only things I can read is FREE shipping, but that probably won't count for shipping to Europe ;-)

An amazing story about a surfer being rescued some 28hrs after falling overboard. Read the whole story here.

Forecast was good, wind and blue sky and on the baby-front it was still quiet, so a great day to head to the beach.

Quite a walk through the dunes :-(

OMG.... it's very windy ;-) Gusts over 40 knots....

Weapons of choice, admired by my 2 (soon to be 3) girls ;-)

Finish the day with a  bite.... Fish & chips!
