The first episode of „Freestyle Podcast” from Sylt

środa, październik 1st, 2008

Yesterday after a long drive finally I arrived to Sylt. Straight from my car I had to go on the water because I arrived literally 3 minutes before my heat. In the first heat I was against Quincy Offriga. Unfortunately I was late for that heat and the wind died and I was on my borrowed 4.8. I was on time for the second heat but the organizers saw that I don’t have any stickers so I had to put them on and again I was a little bit late for the heat.

Now we are waiting for the second elimination where I’m against Leo Ray and I’m really counting on a good result. I can’t wait! Let’s hope the wind will be there. Also yesterday I wanted to start a new reporting system. From now on I will add a “Freestyle Podcast” to all of my reports. This is a new idea so if you have any comments or ideas please email info@jfkstudio.pl. The footage from the second day is now edited and will be on line tomorrow morning and then all the next reports going to be on time in the evening every day.

Hope you will enjoy it.

„Show off 2008” is finished

piątek, sierpień 29th, 2008

The first Freestyle clinic with a professional photo shoot become to an end. The place for the clinic we have chosen Dahab in Egypt. We went to Dahab on the 13 of August and we stayed there for two weeks. We had 7 participants in age from 13to 31 registered for the clinic. Apart from me and the group there was a professional photographer going with us. Jakub Jacher was responsible for gathering footage and making photos from the clinic.

On the day when we were traveling we’ve met three guys on the airport in Warsaw and the rest supposed to come straight to Dahab. The journey was without any problems and all of the stuff arrived untouched. We arrived in Dahab around 5 p.m so it was already too late for windsurfing. We stayed in Novotel Coralia Club Hotel. The next day all the guys arrived and after a short meeting we went on the water. We had equipment rental and storage in Club Dahab (www.clubvass.com). We all were using Gaastra and Tabou equipment. After an hour on the water I managed to divide all in to two groups. This day was more of a warm up and getting used to new conditions.

Next days were a normal teaching days with photo shoot. In total we had five good days of sailing but we tried to be on the water every day even just for the light wind sessions. Although the wind wasn’t good all of the participants were happy and made quite a big progress only in those few days sailing.

We tried to do whatever we could to show the potential of freestyle clinics and I’m glad we managed to do so. If we would have a little bit more wind I’m sure all of the boys would learn a lot more. Anyway I’m satisfied about the trip and the group which I had for my first freestyle clinic. On the days we had no wind at all I was doing simulator session and video coaching from the day before.

“Show off 2008” for sure would be more attractive if we had better conditions but I still think it was a big success and a big step forward into a professional freestyle teaching in future. I would like to thank to all of the participants, Club Dahab stuff, Funsurf Travel, my sponsor and clinic sponsors. At this moment we are gathering all the footage. The DVD production is starting right now and it will be available with a movie and all the reports in the end of the month.

In the meantime in Dahab I came up with a new idea of a freestyle clinic in Brazil around middle of December. As soon I will know more details I will post them on my website so please visit www.pol288.com for more info’s. The reports from every single day are also available on my website.
