Although all the windsurf contests I was planning to attend this summer have been postponed and cancelled, it definitely hasn’t put a damper on the amount of windsurfing I’ve been doing. The early spring closures and lockdowns forced me to explore new launch spots in the Gorge, and the limited services at campgrounds on the […]
Since the PWA World Tour stop in Fuerteventura I’ve been back in Hood River, Oregon. The summer season there delivers some of the best windsurfing in the world, and in the couple months between PWA competitions in Fuerteventura, Spain, and Sylt, Germany, the Gorge didn’t disappoint. Besides some epic days on the water freestyling, I […]
After a few days of resting, hanging out with the family and eating Christmas food at home in Canada I flew to windsurf a popular winter destination for North Americans; La Ventana, Baja Sur, Mexico. I’ve never seen as many kitesurfers in my life as in La Ventana! Turns out it’s such a popular place […]
***Don’t forget to scroll below the galleries to see a few video clips! Over 24 months of my life has been spent in Jericoacoara. Why so much? I love both the daily routine Jeri life, and the other attractions the town and surrounding area offer. A routine day is wake-up, breakfast, windsurf, lunch, windsurf, dinner, […]
I’m not much of a tourist. Spending 2 months in Cape Town I only went on 3 hikes and wine tasting once. However, I did drive 7000km to windsurf and occasionally sup-surf 16 different spots. To give you an idea here is a map where I marked all the spots we windsurfed with a red […]
I’m seriously stoked on how my 2016 shaped up, and if the first few adventures of 2017 are a sign of things to come, it will be another epic year…less the car accident I’ll probably get into! This driving on the left and sitting on the right thing here in Cape Town is from another […]
I had a week of adventures here in Jeri. Lagoon sailing in Tatajuba, a return roller coaster flight in a helicopter, a downwinder to the Guriu river mouth with my brother and jumping over Guy Cribb’s clients. It started off with a trip to the lagoon. Lagoa Tatajuba is about an hour drive from Jericoacoara […]
A week in Poland, a week in Canada and now day 3 in Brazil. After the European Tour event in Brouwersdam, Holland, I flew to Poland to visit family. It was a nice trip and a welcome break from back to back competitions. I got in a good routine there to work out every morning, […]
Although generally the fall is decent for windsurfing in Southern Ontario, these last couple weeks have been below average. I still managed to squeeze in 5 days of windsurfing at some of the classic spots around here including: Sherkston Shores on Lake Erie, the Toronto Windsurfing Club at Cherry Beach on Lake Ontario, and both […]
Or is it?… I just got home to Toronto from 4 weeks of chasing wind up and down the Columbia River Gorge and it’s probably the hottest day I’ve experienced all summer – 42 degrees here in Canada! That’s 107.6 Fahrenheit in American 😉 Four weeks is my record for how long I stayed in Hood […]
