Severne Sails scored a goal creating the S1, the wave and freestyle lighter sail on the market, which I have been using since I joined the Team Severne and with whom I have enjoyed and allowed me to progress faster to its equilibrium and neutrality in addition to his aforementioned lightness (prerequisite in a sail that you will use for freestyle). Well, when I thought that there couldn´t be more lighter sail, I try the little sister of the S-1, the XS-1, a sail designed by Ben Severne to meet the needs of the kids of the family, those with future projection. A sail of ultra high performance (same construction as the S-1) but adapted to smaller riders with a mast height of 3 meters! (75cm shorter than the S-1 to the same size) and one batten less that makes the sail even lighter.
Severne Sails se anotó un tanto creando la S1, la vela de wave y freestyle más ligera del mercado, la cual he estado usando desde
que entré en el Team Severne y con la que tanto he disfrutado y me ha permitido progresar más rápido por su equilibrio y neutralidad además de por su ya mencionada ligereza (requisito imprescindible en una vela que vas a usar en freestyle). Pues bien, cuando ya pensaba que no podía haber vela más ligera voy y pruebo la hermanita pequeña de la S-1, la XS-1, un vela diseñada por Ben Severne para satisfacer las necesidades de los más peques de la familia, aquellos con proyección de futuro. Una vela de altísimas prestaciones (misma construcción que la S-1) pero adaptado a riders más pequeños con una altura de mástil de 3 metros! (75cm más corta que la S-1 en la misma medida) y un sable menos que le quita peso.
The result is a surprisingly light and compact sail that has become my favorite freestyle in rough conditions as the largest size is 3.6, perfect for joining after the 4th of S-1. Although I would not mind having 4.0 and 4.5 in XS-1!
El resultado es una vela sorprendentemente ligera y compacta que se ha convertido en mi favorita para freestyle en condiciones fuertes ya que la medida más grande es 3.6, perfecto para empalmar después con la 4.o de S-1. ¡Aunque no me importaría nada tener 4.0 y 4.5 en XS-1!
My recommendation: The XS-1 is undoubtedly the perfect sail for riders up to 50-55kg. Ideal for children but also for many girls who can´t windsurf with heavy sails . If you have the opportunity to try ... do it! You will be shock!
Mi recomendación: La XS-1 es sin duda la vela perfecta para riders de hasta 50-55kg. Ideal para niños pero también para muchísimas chicas que andan pasándolo mal con velas pesadas. Si tenéis la oportunidad de probarla... hacedlo! Os dejará alucinados!
Severne Sails's slogan was always "Sails for the Revolution ', which is the brand that has already proved to the world of windsurfing her continued interest and dedication to revolutionize the industry, innovating with new materials and construction techniques having won, among other things, to create the lighter Wave and Freestyle sails in the market. Today it demonstrates again its innovative nature with this new concept as a magazine catalog, where they show all their products with detailed information, and stories and anecdotes as production processes, some Australians spots, curious information of the team and lots of pictures too.
Already on the market the most expected movie of the year: "Four Dimensions" which promises to make us swoon with carefully edited images with revolutionary new techniques of production and incredible "Matrix" effects. If we add riders of the caliber of Gollito, Victor, and André Browzinho mingling in the water with the latest and most radical maneuvers and the magic touch of the young visionary director Peter Svensson ... it´s sick! You can buy the movie from the official page. I've already made my order and I am anxious to see it! Until you get it you can see the trailer on their website ... where Peter has dropped a couple of effects, but has refused to disclose the best ... I hope you enjoy it!!
German SURF magazine has published in its July issue cover, a picture of Antxón Otaegui and I returning to the beach after a day of shooting for the film of Peter Svensson "LIFE". The photo was taken by Richard Strom on the beautiful beach and even better spot Icaraizinho "Icarai da Montada" A spot with incredible conditions and especially much less saturated than Jeri. We will listen about Icarai in a soon future.

Not curious? Which has always been my favorite windsurfing accessories brand, just sign me as a team rider! DaKine was founded in 1979 by Rob Caplan and has focused all this time to manufacture the best equipment for windsurfing, surfing and snowboarding, always thinking about the need and comfort of the rider. 
Hello everybody! BOARDS Magazine, Nº 1 in England and one of the most prestigious, has just published it´s 250 issue with me on the cover! The photo was taken by Richard Ström, although the original idea was to Tato "The Coach" Brunet (who else?) At first he wanted a picture with dune, Jericoacoara main icon, background ... and then he said ... "Why not give even more prominence, and instead of windsurfing on the water ... windsurfing the dune face?" And we did ... f$%(=/k! .. so much speed.. and too much sweat picking up the equipment every time we had to repeat the shot.
Do not miss this month Force 7 magazine, which just published "Jeri: The Chronicles of Vicky" an article I did with the collaboration of Tato Brunet, Antxón Otaegui and Rafa Cerveró, counting all anecdotes and adventures from this last trip. Wind, dunes, palm trees, lagoons, caipirinha, açai, forro, capoeira, sun, girls, thongs, pool-partys, Portuguese caravels, allergies, shrimp, parties, concerts, sharks, donkeys, cows, giant centipedes, snakes ... This and more is what you'll find in this article about one of the world's most special beaches: Jericoacoara my friend!!
