Extreme Windsurfing at Hookipa Beach and Tahiti – Antoni Martin & Camille Juban

Best of Windsurfing 2017,HD,Windsurfing, tutorial Windsurfing 2017, top Windsurfing 2017. Windsurfing is a form of sailing, where a board is powered across the water by the wind. Polynesians have been using boards with sails for hundreds of years. It wasn’t until the 1960s that windsurf board design really developed and it became the sport we know today. You can read a full history of the sport here. Unlike surfing, windsurfing uses the wind to propel forward while surfing uses the force of waves. This means you can practice the sport anywhere with a big body of water and wind, such as lakes, rivers, estuaries and, of course, the open ocean. 1. Tahiti gets your heart pumping. I had been to Tahiti 4 times before. Sailed all over the island including Teahupoo. The island is amazing, the people show what the word Aloha should mean, but the water, being in this magical water is what sucks you in to this magical place. Windsurfing at Teahupoo is something you can never understand. Watching these kids charge it without any fear inspires me like never before. Filming Camille drop in to a barreling mast high Teahupoo wave, set up and hit the lip over this wave is indescribable. His speed, timing, and commitment is unbelievable. As I sat on the boat watching, filming, trying to grasp what was going on, the fear in me boiled as I waited for my turn. While we didn't have anyone to film when I went out, it was ok. It quickly made me realize how I wanted to show the images of Titun and Camille charging this place. Suddenly I wanted to swim in and capture more of the moment, more of the feeling, try to get the audience to feel and see the power of this place. The first reason I ever picked up a video camera was to try and show the world what windsurfing was from the inside. To capture it like a windsurfer sees it. I hope this video makes you feel the passion of three guys traveling to one of the most epic windsurfing places on earth, shredding waves, taking turns, having fun, and being blessed with one of the most memorable windsurfing days of their career. 2. Everyone knows the joy of coming home, wether from a long day at work or a weeklong vacation. Now imagine that home is Maui. Sit back and watch Graham Ezzy at Home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. "I travel so much these days that I only spend about four months of the year at home. The time away is all training and competitions, but when I windsurf at home—at Hookipa—I am on the water to have fun. This is the time to express myself through windsurfing. Right now, so much inspires me—from Josh Angulo at Punta Preta to the WSL CT heats. Tail-slide cutbacks are super popular in our sport, but I went in another direction and tried to do full rail carves with my windsurf board. I also experimented with how we can free up the body to ride waves in different ways. " -Graham Ezzy
