Grateful for the Journey | Highlights 2025

08/01/2026

With you, we continue

At the end of 2025, Nick Spangenberg decided to look back on twelve intense months filled with windsurfing, travelling and new encounters. In a ten-minute personal film, the German windsurfer delivers much more than a simple sporting summary: he shares a sensitive insight into his daily life as an athlete in constant motion.
Far from a succession of spectacular manoeuvres or podium finishes, this project highlights what happens between two sessions on the water. From the beaches of South Africa to those of Northern Europe, via Sardinia, Morocco, the Canary Islands, Peru and Denmark, each destination becomes the setting for a human as well as a sporting stage. The return to Kassel in Germany, his hometown, brings a special breath of fresh air to this journey, reminding us of the importance of roots in a nomadic life.
Through the images, Nick Spangenberg candidly evokes the doubts, self-questioning and pressure associated with competition. The sometimes capricious conditions, high expectations and demands of top-level competition shape both mind and body. This retrospective highlights that windsurfing is much more than just a sport. For Nick Spangenberg, the ocean becomes a place of learning, offering lessons in patience, gratitude and perspective. A memorable year, not only for the results, but above all for the journey.
