Pauline Ado shaping her own

It's been a whil since the last post.... been really bussy with a lot of things.... interesting times ahead as well, but hopefully also some time to do things I like as well.... too be continued ;-)

For now a little movie that shows what it's all about....

3rd of August

My brothers birthday, but I got the best present ;-) Light wind, but perfect waves.... and my brother actually took a few pics before the batteries died. Not a lot of action, but it shows a bit of the conditions.

 

Doniños

Some quick pictures from last Saturday at Doniños. Sun, wind and waves.... Perfect day ;-)

Kauli going for the lip

Kauli on Fire (light) from Hot Sails Maui on Vimeo.

Stunning art

Birdseye view of mother natures art....

Exocet graphics

The coolest thing to do with duct tape

Someone interested?

Well, they are sold ;-)

Creative trimming of trees

Clear water

Sunset session

 

Great side-on session with Bas at Ouddorp. North-east wind is just perfect for jumping non-stop ;-)

Just too bad the high water in the rivers brought some nasty smelling water right at the spot. Her are some images of the high water in the rivers.

 

It seems some people had is a lot worse.....

Kauli testing to the max

One...

...two...

...tweaked!

 Testing the Firelight...

 ...the Superfreak Maui Edition...

...and the KS3 prototype?!? (don't really like the color combo)

Wavegarden 2.0

Not the same feeling as out in the ocean, but looks like fun. Like the fact that it makes a right and left at the same time.

A deeper shade of blue

A great movie.... a must see!!

Here's the official trailer...

Teriitehau still ripping it

Teahupo'o.... Crazy man still ripping it ;-)

Just to show how crazy, here's a clip of him jumping of a boat in the middle of the Atlantic.... Have to say, it's quite high ;-)

More JP at cloudbreak

 

...... nothing much to say ;-)

Polakow at Cloudbreak

Jaso Polakow at Cloudbreak, Fiji.... warming it up before the ASP guys will hit it in a few days ;-)

In the picture

Always nice when someone takes a picture of you, even when it's not intended ;-) Thanks Ridge!!

Conditions where bad, but had some time on the water and in the sun to test the light wind ability of my 5,7 Firelight.....

Sandy

The beach at the Ulsan worldcup

Seems fake, but is real

Shane Dorian in deep at Teahupoo.... Amazing!!! Would love to see the video from this GoPro footage ;-)

Twisted

Awesome shot made with a K4 harness mount

Lets talk bottom shapes

Interesting bottom

Sometimes it's easy to get out of the water

Big wave photography

Surfing Teahupo'o deserves respect (here we see the late Andy Irons), but how about the photographer swimming around in this picture ;-)

Meanwhile in Bretagne

Today in Bretagne. Not too big, but it seems like a lot of fun. Thanks for keeping us updated with your great pictures Pierre-Yves!!

Explosion captured by Franck Berthuot

Perfect shot by Franck Berthuot.

Lanzada: looks like fun

SOS sup

Must be nice to live in Japan..... Lots of things available ;-)

Here's a nice looking SUP by Sean available through Stokegear in Japan. One of the only things I can read is FREE shipping, but that probably won't count for shipping to Europe ;-)

Shells

Amazing story

An amazing story about a surfer being rescued some 28hrs after falling overboard. Read the whole story here.

Great day at the beach

Forecast was good, wind and blue sky and on the baby-front it was still quiet, so a great day to head to the beach.

Quite a walk through the dunes :-(

OMG.... it's very windy ;-) Gusts over 40 knots....

Weapons of choice, admired by my 2 (soon to be 3) girls ;-)

Finish the day with a  bite.... Fish & chips!
