WindSurf Action Shots

(Cannes, freeride - wave session, 01-06-2008)

A “light wind” wave session in Cannes.. Actualy the shots have been taken when the wind just started to blow, so it was not very difficult conditions... No big waves (only 50 cm at this moment) and 20 knots of wind only, explaining the 5.3 m² sail I used. However, after 30 minutes, the wind became stronger and a little bit gusty, with peak up to 30 knots, with bigger waves up to 2 meters at some point... Well, it was a cool session after stopping sailing by a month... A nice restart training

Water start at the Palm Beach

Freeride in the Bay of Cannes

A small jump on the “waves”

The wind just starts to really blow... hence the foam here and there...

Passing the foam is always tricky... when it’s big !

Damned: Franck is planning !

It sounds the accident with the kite-surfer... though...
