  • Jason Polakow's search for the perfect wave for windsurfing has just begun.
    This time, he travels to Indonesia for a windsurf adventure like no other.
    Jason’s true passion has always been chasing down some of the biggest waves and best surf conditions and he is the only wave-sailor to break away from full-time competition to challenge nature in its most extreme form. In February 2016 he became the first windsurfer to tackle the giant waves at Praia do Norte, near Nazaré, Portugal, saying: “This isn't Maui, You don’t come out here for 20 fun waves. You come out and you feel good if you get one or two unbelievable rides.”

    The last time I saw a JP video was ~1995 in a Tarifa's bar, I stopped talking to my girlfriend until the end (shame on me)... 25 years later, the guy is always on the top in skill, level, style, spirit... Respect to forever young JP.

      ReWrit Matthew 14v25 During the night Jesus went out to them walking on the lake...Peter said to him, "What is it like walking on water?" and Jesus replied, "It is quite novel i suppose but i wish i lived 2000 years in the future when there will be windsurfing and kite surfing as i reckon that would be more exciting".
      What sort of God lets 2000 year go by without telling people how to surf, windsurf, kitesurf, hydrofoil ?
