Windsurfing in Paris !
|
 |
|
It’s a pretty rare event to see windsurfing in the very heart of Paris, other than some indoor, as seen and much appreciated in the big hall at Bercy.
But on the 26th May, the French Olympic sailing team, including Faustine Merret and Julien Bontemps on their RS:X gear, came into town for a rare city session on the Seine, right in the heart of the capital, as part of their official presentation to the French press ! Some amusing footage to enjoy and even some proper planning, with a bit of arm work…

Forward off the lip
|
 |
|
The windsurf manufacturers’ photoshoot and video season is often an occasion for the riders to let rip in the waves and try out their brand moves… In April, during the Fanatic photoshoot, Victor Fernandez, second placed in the 2007 world waves championships, was clearly bang on form, enough to nail an incredible forward off the lip, landed on the wave, and all filmed from start to end !!! Footage that you need no commentary to appreciate…

Big Sunday in Brittany
|
 |
|
We wetted your appetites about this one the other day, and now, here finally, and exclusively on WJ TV, a new video called Big Sunday in Brittany. It comes from the camera of Karim Goujon from Even Production, a film of fantastic footage shot in very difficult conditions… Enjoying the mad conditions, Julien Taboulet and Antoine Albeau manage also to show just how dangerous big stuff like that can be. F-100 was evidently on the limits, while Albeau only surfed two waves in the whole session, but waves coming in at 3 times mast height !!! Only a totally competent and confident windsurfer could get near sailing those conditions, with an accident never very far away without 101% concentration ! But seeing as those conditions are pretty rare, only the biggest of the big can be sure of getting the big adrenaline that goes with them…
