Light wind wavesailing

March 18, 2008 · Print This Article

How much wind do you need to go wavesailing?
Big surf in light conditions is adding a new dimension to longboard windsurfing. Simply, there is no waiting for those big wind fronts or seabreezes. LBWS was sent a few photographs from the legendary Brittany, France. The shots were taken last week and are very worthy of a mention. The rider is Patrice Belbeoch carving it up on a Kona 11′5 in only a wind range of 7 to 12 knots.

    What awesome photos – they inspires me to get out in the surf again. If only I had that level of skill.
