In Januari 2013 I visited the Dfrost surfhouse in Taghazout, Morocco for a week of sunshine, surf and fun! Conditions were sick with waves of more than 4 meters sometimes. After a morning and afternoon session I took some great pictures of the locals riding at Anchor Point. Hopefully I will be able to visit Morocco again next year!
After the success of the first edition of the Battle of the Generations it took some time for conditions to be perfect for a second contest. After two year conditions were better than ever on an amazing windsurfday at Scheveningen. The windsurfer from Plankenkoorts showed off some awesome moves. In the end the battle was won by Javier Sint Jago.
On the 16th of April I had a great windsurfing session at the Oostvoorne lake. After the session I decided to take some pictures. Pro riders Remco de Zeeuw, Paul Boef and Eefje Oude Ophuis were showing off in front of the camera.
The biggest windsurfing event in The Netherlands is the Mission. The Dutch pro freestyle riders and some guest riders come here to show their tricks and it is possible to test the newest windsurfing gear. The HDR picture of the green Volkswagen van was chosen to be on the poster of this event.
Enjoy the movie I created of this trip. Es kann nicht immer kaviar sein!
It’s becoming a tradition to visit a warm place every winter. In januari 2012 I visited Fuerteventura for the second year. This time we were with six friends, surfing every day for two weeks. The waves and the weather were great. I took some pictures which you can see in the gallery below. In the next post I will link to the movie I created from this trip.
Time to update my site. It has been two years… but I made loads of pictures. I selected a couple of nice ones from the surftrips I’ve been on. This gallery is from the trip to Marokko during summer 2011. With 7 guys we drove from The Netherlands, to Biarritz in France, Peniche, Guincho, Sagres in Portugal, Tarifa in Spain and Moulay Bouzerktoun in Morocco! Later more friends joined us for an awesome surfing holiday!
It’s been some time, because in The Netherlands it’s was ball freezing cold! However, I’ve been on Tenerife now for a week with three friends (Tino, Tom and Bas) and the surf here is ON! The first day I had one of the best windsurfsessions in my life! Side-offshore wind and 1-2 meter swell. I got to take some great photo’s of the locals and my friends. We are staying in a luxury appartment with a huge swimmingpool and the weather is 25 degrees with a lot of sunshine! The wind is gone for the coming days, but since Tenerife is an island somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean it receives a lot of swells, so surfing is good here almost everyday! Tom took some pictures of me dropping in on a shorebreak bomb. Not used to these kind of waves yet I wiped out and got held down for more than twenty seconds! Enjoy the pictures. More will probably follow later on!
On tuesday the 14th of September 2010 the old and new generations of Plankenkoorts members competed against eachother in a fantastic windsurfing event. Wind was 25-40 knots, waves up to 2.5 meters! After surfing my heat, I decided to go out for some fun surf. Almost made a backloop by accident, which felt great! So I wanted to try more looping, but I got stuck in the shorebreak and a wave broke my mast! Crap! However, this gave me the time to take some great pictures of the other windsurfers. It was cold, raining and very very windy, but they gave away an amazing show and it was really fun to watch. My camera seemed to hold up pretty well with all the wind, sand and rain. Thanks to Plankenkoorts for organizing this amazing event!
Finally took the time to make a selection of my favourite pictures from the windsurftrip to Leucate! Two weeks of sunshine, windsurffun and partying! I took more than 700 pictures, most of them of my friends windsurfing. Also played around with the video function on my EOS 500D and I’m almost done editing the Leucate movie. When it’s finished I will post it here ofcourse! Enjoy the Leucate pictures!
