Caro aka the pink surfer and Claudius are some passionate windsurfers. They trip around northern Europe chasing storms to get the best conditions! Check their latest windsurfing mini-trip to denmark!

We just came back from a short trip to northern Denmark.

On Friday, we had really good conditions in Hanstholm for the 4.2 Gurus and the One 72 / Quad 78. We were really stoked to see, how many people were on Goya.
The waves were logo-high and perfect to train new tricks. So we spent about 8 hours on the water and enjoyed the nice conditions.
All the best from northern Germany

Campeonato de Espana, El Medano, Tenerife

Aleix Sanllehy 2nd Place
Eric Sanllehy 4th Place

“Celebrandose la segunda competición del campeonato de España de Olas en la playa de el Medano en Tenerife, y con las miradas puestas a ver que pasaria en la clasificación general de olas, el sabado 23 de julio empezaron las mangas.
La competición empezo con poco viento y con mangas donde contaban las 2 mejores surfeadas durante 15 minutos. Las condiciones estaban para vela de 5 metros y tabla de 82 litros, y olas entre “shoulder hight ” i ” head hight “.
Tras todo el dia de competición, con intervalos de espera esperando la mejor marea para las mejores olas y con un gran nivel en el agua, se pudo terminar la simple eliminatoria, sin haber posibilidad de hacer la doble el domingo a cause de las condiciones.
Finalmente el resultado de la competición acabó con Aleix Sanllehy en 2nd posición ( permitiendole así colocarse en 2nd en la general del ranking de olas ), 4ta posición para Eric Sanllehy ( mejorandose de la larga lesión de tobillo que ha sufrido este hinvierno, y pudiendo volver a empezar a competir ) y con la 9a posición para Cisco Garcia.

Ahora queda esperar a la próxima competición en Formentera, para ver como evoluciona el ranking de olas y esperemos que les siga yendo tan bién a nuestros corredores GOYA.”

If you’ve ever been down at Kanaha Beach Park, then you’ve probably seen these two girls rip it up massively! Regulars down the infamous Maui windsurfing spot, Kismet Kilbourn and Kristen Orth take their talents and test them against the fleet in the Maui Race Series.

Maui Race Series Schedule

If you’re around on Maui during any of these weekends, come on down Kanaha Beach Park. You can hit the action with the racers, or just kick back and watch it! Hit the water for a little personal sesh, come back and kick it some more. Either way, it’s a good time.

One thing’s for sure, Kismet and Kirsten will be racing! They’ll be right in the thick of things (as witnessed in one of the photos below… Kristin and Kismet taking on the boys).

Just got word from Windsport’s Pete Dekay that Keith Teboul hit the cover! Another classic Keith shot, full-on perpendicular. Love it.

This comes right at the time when Pistol River American Windsurf Tour competition is going off… Keith reported from Pistol:

Contest is going super good..lots of wind and some small waves. The first 2 days I was here it was 2 to 6 feet back side heaven. A little smaller for the event but guys like Kevin where on 4.2 so really good.

If Kevin Pritchard is on a 4.2, hold on to your hats, boy: it’s windy! Posts on the Pistol River Comp are sure to follow.

 

 

Goya, Quatro, MFC

ESCOT, COSTA BRAVA

Hello everyone, we did a nice event last weekend with Escot in Costa Brava. They carry Goya sails , Quatro boards and MFC products. Super good event, the pictures don’t show any people cuz we took them after setting everything up, but we had a crowd there later on that day when it got more busy. In the night we did a dinner and movie premier (New Oxbow Movie). So pretty nice. Not big as the conditions did not cooperate but still a super nice weekend.

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.
