This morning here on Lake Garda I had the chance to use the Goya Banzai and Air 99.
The conditions were not the best, very gusty wind, but better than nothing! :-))
The sail was perfectly balanced and lightweight for freestyle.
Thanks to Goya Family for the support they are giving me!
IMPROVE YOUR SAILING WITH RONALD RICHOUX
Based in France Ronald has been organizing ...
Based in France Ronald has been organizing clinics and “the coach” for magazines HOW TO’s. He was recently in Dakhla for a clinic and we are stoked to share it with you!
Clinic Windsurf by Ronald RICHOUX at Dakhla-‐Morocco / May-‐June 2012
In may, Ronald Richoux, Goya windsurfing and Quatro SUP coach, spent two weeks at Dakhla-‐Morocco. First one for the Planchemag’s “how to” photoshooting, and the second one for a windsurfing clinic.
The high winds on the first week were perfect for action shots. Using a goproH2 for “close to action” watershots, testing original angles of view to explain some moves, his wife was also shooting from land for wide angle view. 7 windy days of pure action, riding the Goya One 86 as unique board, and Freesurf 5.3, Eclipse 5.0, Guru 4.7 and Banzai 4.3, regarding the wind!
On the second week, windsurfers joined Ronald to Dakhla for an epic “flat water clinic”. 12 windsurfers from France, Spain and Belgium were stoked to improve and ride beyond their limits. They spent 7 full windy days at Dakhla Attitude center, enjoying this unique lagoon and perfect spots.
Planing, over speed runs, jibes, duck jibes, Carving 360, and even volcanos, the Ronald’s crew have been learning new moves, windsurfing 6 hours per day, and watching their sessions on the daily video debriefing. 3 girls were participating to this clinic, wich is great for windsurfing!!
Great action, friendly discussions, tasty local meals, next “rendez vous” on December in Brazil!
Come and join him!

PWA POZO, OR WHEN RESULT DON’T MATTER
We saw amazing action. Every year you think these guys reach limits, and every year these same limits are broken big time!
PWA POZO 2012
Brawzinho was probably hoping for a better ranking, but as you can see, sometimes it’s not only about the final results… We saw amazing action. Every year you think these guys reach limits, and every year these same limits are broken big time! Windsurfing is in such inspiring, fast pace energy, it’s a dream to be part of it. Get out there and push your own limits.
KEITH TESTING SAILS AT THE GORGE
KT testing some new sail concepts at the Gorge.
We thought we’d shoot you all a few photos of Keith Teboul and Jason Diffin at the Gorge, testing some sail ideas we just put together. The conditions were perfect for testing, and the sails were pretty tasty (sorry we won’t reveal any more at this point, hahaha), but what’s most important, it was a great fun day for everyone. Have yours too, go out today, get some water up your nose. Aloha.
P.S. No, Keith is not riding Goya boards. We’d sure wish to add a “yet” to that statement, however.
Levi Siver Wins Pistol River Wave Bash
Great conditions, great riding, a lot of fun... Pistol River went off.
Loick Lesauvage first time in Maui
That’s it, after 25 hours by plane and ...
That’s it, after 25 hours by plane and two stopovers in Frankfurt and San Francisco, I finally get to Maui. Phew, the boardbag is also arrived. Then direction Haiku, to join the housing, in a drizzling rain and a big wet heat.
The next day a great day ahead: Laurent Guillemin (GOYA) waiting for me to shop at 9:00. When I arrived at the Cannery, Pascal Bronnimann welcomes me, Francisco Goya and Keith Teiboul are also there. I am really impressed to meet them. Laurent then introduced me to different spots of the island, Sprecks, Camp One, Kanaha and Ho’okipa legendary for which, he explains the rules of navigation with surfers and gives me valuable advice for beginners, pass the shorebreak take the channel …. Then the direction of Mecca for my first session earlier this afternoon with a light wind, a big shorebreak, small waves and turtles! Before rigging, I watch the riders into the water, join the channel along the famous rocks of Hookipa, then, I decide to 3.6 and go. On the water, I meet Josh Stone, Morgan Noireaux, both impressive.
Weather days ahead of the top, including a day with a mat size and fairly steady wind. The spot is full of professional riders with Levi Siver, Victor Fernandez, Ricardo Campello, Kauli Seadi, Marcilio Browne, Keith Teboul, Robby Swift, Mark Angulo, Bernd Roediger, Camille Juban, Morgan Noireaux … The hard part is making the right waves, watch out for photographers in water, riders who swim after their gear, and not getting eaten by the walls of water: short learning …
The next will be the hardest of stay. The wind and the waves are there. In short, I decided to 3.4. A few long minutes later, I’m ready: I ride along the rocks. I did not even have time to join the channel, a large grain stops the wind. Here’s everything easier: in front of me a huge spike … a few long seconds later, I’m back like a steak … I finished in the rocks … phew it is not broke, the sun is back, the spot is still raging: huge waves carried endless. I launch out again: this time, after the shorebreak, I choose the right option! I spend foams. I expect then re foams. I shoot like crazy to avoid the series, I went phew. I surf, I jibe, and off you go again except as hindered by a rider, I have no other choice, the wave closes on me. In short, there, I drink the foam into the vortex that spins me again and again. The gear is gone … I swim to Lanes in pursuit. This is the end of session.
Fifth day, go to the shop in the morning, greeted by Francisco and Jason, I’m my great guide, Lawrence, to visit all the shops shape, layering, painting and workshop sail Jason Diffin. After this great morning, I continue my fifth session in a row at Ho’okipa, often with a wind that is increasing in the afternoon. This is still an opportunity for me to cross over the water the young Bernd Roediger is very impressive. The following days are alike, wind, waves and sessions are linked always to Ho’okipa. At the ninth day, Francisco, Lalo, and Jason Lawrence gave me an appointment at Camp One for the photoshoot Goya freeride and freestyle. I found much of the team and for my part, it will be the new storm in 2013 under the lens of photographer Frank Berthuot. A day full of emotions. The next day, the shoot continues to Ho’okipa but this time, I found the parking lot Junko, Pio, Bernd, Laurent, but also happens, Levi, Marcillo, Keith, Josh. I rigged the new storm in 3.5 and go … even a full day of learning.
Here, there remains that one day the next day I go to the shop to say goodbye and I want to make my 11th session in a row to Mecca. The wind is stronger today. Josh Stone out of the water preserved me: “this is the mistral at Ho’okipa today! ”
A big thank you, to Francisco and Lalo Goya, Jason Diffin Laurent Guillemin and the whole team for their hospitality and all those great times spent at their side in Maui.
