Tati Howard shares some Maui feeling with us!

Nice video feature & interview, done during the recent "Wave Classic" event on Fuerteventura!

Unfortunately Sarah Heberts transatlantic journey just has come to a premature end due to health problems.

Sarah has decided to end her challenge to preserve her health well jeopardized in recent days. The conditions (swell up to 5 meters, wind well over 25 knots on average) had been very demanding and exhausting. Already on Sunday Sarah has got a pretty serious warning, when she had asked to join the ship at the edge of unconsciousness with a symptom of altered spatial representation, obviously suffering from anemia (lack of iron in the blood). Sarah via satellite phone:

"The adventure is beautiful, hard, but magical. I have no regrets. All I've lived before being on the ocean and during the feedthrough is incredible. This will forever burn in me. I will analyze all this once rested, but I already know that neither my preparation, or my equipment, nor the heart that I set to work can not be questioned. Sometimes you just accept its limitations, that of the body says stop, to avoid the worst. Although I limping along, I see only the best for now. I learned about myself, on the ocean and the open sea and the whole experience will be useful in the future to meet new challenges ",

We take our hat off to this great sportswoman, whose courage, dedication and passion serve as a beacon for all windgirls out there. BIIIG RESPECT from us!!

All the best & return safe.

World of Windgirls member Sarah Hebert has just started her long awaited and perfectly planed crossing of the Atlantic Ocean, facing one of the most daring challenges in the history of women windsurfing! Yesterday was a almost perfect day (after Sarah had lost her vital satellite phone, and had to make a forced stop on Cape Verde to pick up a new one): Sarah made 195 kilometers in one day!

You can follow Sarah on her journey on Twitter!

Starboard just has launched another initiative to support beginners in windsurfing. On the new website, www.start-windsurfing.com, the company presents both basics and advanced techniques (footstraps, harness...) along with new videos. So don't hesitate - start windsurfing!
