Three knots more wind can make the difference between bobbing and taking off. PWA pro Jordy Vonk shows you in the new surf issue how you can "make" these three knots yourself - with the right pumping technique. A few seconds of effort on the boom will reward you with a feather-light gliding feeling when everyone else is still standing. You can find the right technique for pumping with fin and foil in our riding technique!
Freestyler Marten Molenaar has an impressive story to tell: After being diagnosed with testicular cancer, the Dutchman set himself the goal of learning the "Pasko" - the move that bears his name as a tribute to André Paskowski, who died as a result of the disease. Maarten has captured his mission in a moving film and tells the story of "Pasko - The magic move" in surf.
There are also plenty of tests: In addition to five super-fast freerace boards, we also rode one of the new NeilPryde sails and spoke to designer Robert Stroij about the radical weight reduction. We also tried out the STX iWindsurf, a family-friendly windSUP, and tested the Triple E Extension, which allows you to adjust the luff trim while riding. We reveal whether it works in the new issue!
