Your Picture. Our website. We’re kicking off a new little Goya feature today. Every week we will present the best picture we receive from you ladies and gentlemen. Which means your shot will be featured on our website. So send them on over. We’re looking forward to great weekly in-office-discusions as to what shot is worthy enough.

The email address where it all goes down is potw@goyawindsurfing.com

Ever wondered where these sails come from?

Ever wondered where these sails come from? Not where they are built, but how they are originated, how they are designed, cut and sewn out of imagination and creativity… How  materials become one unique handcrafted sail? Jason  works in his loft and infuses the passion of the team, his sensitivity to building great sails to birth this one sail that will go in production.. Bjoern wraps it up with a unique graphic design ; every aspect, color, material, has it’s importance to reflect as closely as possible what we are about!

Feel the passion behind every sail when you hit the water!

Emotion, passion and development unwrapping in front of your eyes,..

COMMENT Comments Off on Capo del Capo

This year we’ll have 2 Quatro/Goya riders competing at Capo del Capo.
That’s for sure the most important italian windsurf wave competition and it’s held in Sardinia, Capo Mannu, one of the most beautiful and demanding spot in Italy and maybe in all the mediterranean sea. It’s an invitational, with just 16 riders selected by the organizations and the waiting period is pretty long (all may-beginning of june), in order to be sure to find really good conditions. That’s the website of the event: https://www.capodelcapo.com/?page_id=635
and here you can see some pics of past editions: https://www.flickr.com/photos/nadiaguida/sets/72157620256523448/with/3655155220/
Our athletes are Gabriele Serra from Sardinia and another young guy, Federico Infantino.

Tato, our Urugayan distributor has been competing in the SouthAmerican windsurfing champinship in Peru. The conditions were epic and Tato did great! Congratulation to him. It’s great to have such great support!
Here are his toughts:

I got second. I won the final of the double elimination, but then I was so tired after 3 heats of 20 minutes each (long waves), that I couldn’t do any good wave at the last final.
I’m still super happy about the result. There were at least 8 guys much better than me and lot of guys with same level, but I think I was really lucky on my heats.
Lot of photos and videos to share, but need to organice it first. Internet here sucks.. Thanks Laurent I will try to publish tonight.
Championship is an IFCA and ISAF event and I had cash price! This year and from now on the southamerican championship has only one stop per year. Next year in Chile and then Ibiraquera.
The event went alive on surfperu.tv with really good quality.
Now we are going to stay longer to make some videos. Good video frames from yesterday!! Attached some pics someone took during the competition.
Aloha guys and thank you for the support!!! I felt really proud going with my Goya/Quatro/MFC gear

COMMENT Comments Off on New distribution in Austria and great test day to celebrate!

We are  proud to officialize our new distribution in Austria by a  great team of people. It includes passionate trio: Michael Schmiederer, Berni Schermaier and famous local Tom Hartmann. They kicked in the season with a test day at Podersdorf and got everything they coudl hope for: sun, wind, crowds. All in one a great day to celebrate windsurf and our new partnership!

Weekend was great .. super windy and sunny and loads of people in podersdorf. We had to rig only 4.2s and 4.7s and were able to test all the  boards and sails that arrived Friday. All the gear was on the water and also other people took some testruns on the gear. Feedback was very positive so far.

I was pretty stoked about the One 94, this is a really nice board and a perfect tool for the strong wind days at the lake. I think that will be an interesting one for riders here at our spots.

COMMENT Comments Off on Nexus 6.4 Test in Windsurfing Magazine

“Loose friendly free-race sail that’s easy for anyone to hop ond fell dialed in.Offers excellent control and handeling for it’s size, prompting thoughts of light-air wave sailing. Great sail for an East Coast onshore ocean sailor or free rider. Six battens provide plenty of stability without creating a noticeable increase in weight.”

Warmer weather, solid wind conditions, friendly people and beautiful surroundings are the characteristics that you can find in the Spanish south coast during the winter.
