Leon goes nuts


Germany wiz kid Leon Jamaer takes windsurfing and his Fire sail to new places. Downtown Kiel, in Germany he entered an extreme sports event sailing his skateboard. The image pretty well sums things up.

2008 Distributor's meeting


Tom, Ala and I have just wrapped up the first ever Hot Sails Maui distributor's meeting and we had a great time. Lots of new faces and now new friends were made during this nearly week long event in Morocco.
The setting was exotic to say the least. Set on the Atlantic coast near the old port city of Essaouira, the windsurf center of Sidi Kaouki presented a near perfect situation for distributors from around the world to join us for some education and fun.

This event was to educate our distributors about next seasons products and designs so they can prepare for 2009. Seminars were done in a real Berber tent right on the windy beach. The mid day times were for doing some testing of the coming gear.
