The new windsurfing movie Minds Wide Open is a truly awesome achievement, bringing together all the current big guns in windsurfing, traveling to inspiring locations and being seamlessly bought together by producer Andre Paskowski. From the makers of the ground breaking windsurfing dvd Four Dimensions, here is a sneaky little clip from Minds Wide Open…

The producers of Minds Wide Open have this to say about their latest windsurf dvd…
“From the producers of Four Dimensions – prepare to join a bigger and better team on a new journey of breathtaking windsurfing action and cinematography. With a spectrum of mind-bending angles shot in stunning locations. It’s time to taste the future and keep your Minds Wide Open.”

The list of pro windsurfers in this movie points to the fact that the content is just going to be off the scale!
Ricardo Campello
Kauli Seadi
Philip Köster
Marcilio Browne
Gollito Estredo
Victor Fernandez

These are the guys that are pushing the limits of windsurfing right now in all disciplines (wave, freestyle and freestyle wave). They are the ones doing the biggest airs, sickist tricks and craziest wave riding on the planet.

The Minds Wide Open windsurf dvd combines the greatest progressive windsurfers with some really crisp and visually amazing footage taken at all the top windsurfing destinations. If you have watched the trailer above then you know that seeing the whole movie is a must!

Happy Windsurfing.

The windsurf season is now under way at the Poole Windsurfing school and we have lots of shiny new 2012 windsurfing equipment from Goya, RRD & Amex. Our windsurf students have been enjoying all this new windsurfing equipment on their windsurfing courses. People hiring windsurfing boards & sails have been loving the new kit!

All types of courses will be running throughout the season from beginner and improver windsurfing courses through to advanced lessons and private windsurf tuition. Also, Poole Windsurfing offers a superb windsurf hire scheme where you can pay by the hour or take advantage of a discounted 10 hour hire card that you use during the summer season.

The latest fleet of 2012 equipment includes extra sizes of boards in the beginners windsurfing range from both RRD & Goya, so there is exactly the right size for everyone. The advanced windsurfing sail range includes 2012 ‘Guru’ & the new ‘Nexus’ windsurfing sails that will give improver to advanced windsurfers an even greater choice of sail size & type.

RDM (Reduced Diameter Masts) are still being used exclusively throughout our windsurf school. You rarely go to a windsurf school that uses these masts for their students, they are normally only reserved for the instructors! At Poole Windsurfing we use RDM’s for everything from advanced sails right through to using them on our beginners windsurfing courses!

“They may be more expensive but we really feel the benefit to the students is worth it!” – Terril Winters, Senior Windsurfing Instructor – Poole Windsurfing

Take a look at our Windsurfing Equipment Page to see more from the Poole Windsurfing School setup. This page showcases our windsurfing equipment and is being updated with shots of all the 2012 windsurfing kit.

If you are thinking of taking up windsurfing, or getting back into the sport this summer then you really should come and try out the latest kit here at the Poole Windsurfing School!
