You can go to Lessons page to find out about the upcoming courses which will happen in July and August.

I set my release dates for freestyle podcasts. It will be one before the Lanzarote event and then the second one right after the event.

Greets and stay tuned!

Problems with my hand didn’t let me start in the World Cup on the Canary Islands so my season was over before it even started. Well maybe with one exception in Podersdorf. The last event in 2010 was the event in Sylt, Germany. It was the same date as my final operation on my hand so I decided I will not compete for that season. Then it was winter and my negotiations with the sponsors about next year. Then I made the decision…

I’ve chosen the place and since April this year I’m living in Fuerteventura! At this moment I know I will stay here for another year. What then and how I will decide later.

So let’s concentrate on what I will do here. First of all let me send big thanks and appreciation to my sponsors which are supporting me in this season as well. I will still be riding RRD boards, sail on Simmer Style sails and use accessories from Da Kine. These companies after two years of injuries are still supporting my sailing and made it possible to move here and send you news from Fuerte!

However I have two new sponsor and that is Go Pro – the leading manufacturer of remote HD cameras, because of what my videos will gain few extra angles and JFK Studio which will do all the editing, correcting and a after effecting all of my footage.

Ok, ok but what with that Fuerteventura? First of all, this month I will start renewed Freestyle Podcasts! The whole formula will be changed and will send a simple message: from windsurfers to windsurfers and it will be YOU who will decide what is going to be released on next episode of Freestyle Podcasts. Each episode will be divided into few parts: interview, tips and tricks, travel, your questions and most interesting news from windsurfing. For sure it will be more clear when the first episode will be released. Definately you can already send me your ideas what topics you want on Freestyle Podcasts. Just simply write me an email at kuba@pol288.com

Secondly if someone of you is in Fuerteventura at the moment or is coming here and would like to have someone help him with his new maneuver, polish his freestyle skills or just simply improve his windsurfing then I’m available for private lessons and courses. This will be also a new page called “Lessons” where I will post all new information’s about upcoming clinics or courses.

That’s it for now. I’m sending you few pictures from last sessions. Soon new episode of “Freestyle Podcasts”.

Stay tuned!

A day in Tarifa… from JFK Studio on Vimeo.

It’s been a long time since my last post. It was all due to renewed injury. After my hand injury in Cape Town winter 2008 it was time to take out screws which were inside. At this moment I’m in the middle of physiotherapy which was planned to end in the middle of September but unfortunately we are sure that it will take longer and I’m not able to compete in the last PWA stop on Sylt. Now I just need to finish the physiotherapy and get ready for the season 2011!

I’m sending you pictures from the last session in season 2010!

After 30 days and after driving for around 7000 kilometers Dacia Surfing Trip is finished. It was a great thing to see new spots which, however are famous but I never sailed on them like Leucate in France. On the other hand we sailed some totally new spots in Costa Brava or in Tarifa. We gathered a lot of footage and very soon there will be a movie released which will tell the whole story. Since March me, Kuba Kołakowski and Wiktor Kitzman are in an official Dacia Surfing Team. Behind the camera is Bart Binder. More information’s about that on www.dacia-surfing.pl

Right now I’m at Hel Peninsula in Poland. We have a good forecast for the next days and it will be good chance to prepare myself before next PWA events.

What was impossible happened! None of the weather forecast predicted more than 4 knots for Wednesday. That’s why all the riders were not happy about the decision to make the skippers meeting at 5:30 in the morning. When I woke up at 5:15 I knew that I was wrong about the judges and went really fast on the contest site. The wind was weak but enough for the contest. I was starting with my 5.7 and for a while I was a bit overpowered. In the first heat I was against Domink Kovarik from Czech Republic. I won that one and went on to go against Tonky Frans. Unfortunately the wind was dropping fast and it wasn’t as good as in the first heat. I had advantage over Tonky on starboard tack but on port tack close to the beach the wind was really light so I did only one flaka which of course was not enough. There was no chance for the double elimination that’s why I didn’t think about the next heats and I finished the event on the 17th place.

In the final it was Taty Frans and Steven van Broeckhoven which was a big surprise. Both of them sailed awesome trough the whole contest and landed perfect Culos, Ponches and Shakas in the wind around 12-15 knots. In the end it was Taty who was better and he won second PWA event in a row.

Third place went to Gollito Estredo and fourth to Kiri Thode.

Few word have to go to Maarten van Ochten from Holland who landed a perfect chachoo in one of his heats and in general was sailing great in those tricky conditions. In the end he became 5th.

I’m quite happy about the event. These were not my condition at all and still I was close to Tonky who is number three in the world from last year.

First event of the PWA tour is on going on. Unfortunately since Friday we couldn’t start at least one heat. The forecast is changing all the time so still there is a chance to finish the event. Tomorrows start is scheduled on 6:15 so let’s hope we can finish the single elimination. The event is finishing on Wednesdays. Meanwhile you can check the clip of Tow-In session with Gollito Estredo. Steven van Broeckhoven ruled the Tow-In event doing tricks like: ponch, shaka, air flaka and he won the unofficial Tow-In event with a perfect Culo. Unbelivable! More news soon!

It’s already half way through my training time in Tarifa. Until now we have really different conditions. First week was something that Tarifa didn’t see in a long time. Levante wind blew up to 67 knots. Well, 90 liters freestyle board and a smallest sail like 4.0 is not the best choice but when the wind dropped a little bit I could go in a straight line.

Second week was a little bit more close to what we are used to. Most of the time I was using my 4.5 and a 5.1 sails.

Now we are going to the second half of the trip and hopefully the wind is back cause last few days we had only waves.

My scheduled arrival in Poland is for the 27th of April but I don’t know if I can go back to Poland if the whole cloud situation in Europe stays on. This is not the best option because the first event in Podersdorf starts on the 30th of April.

I would like to wish you all a great and windy Easter holidays!

After a very long physiotherapy after an injury I’m back on the water. I’m in Tarifa for the first training session before the season. I will stay here till 27th of April. It looks great for tomorrow with Levante up to 45 knots. I will post pictures and videos up to date so stay tuned.
