When I shoot windsurfing, I am trying to capture the feeling it gives me while I am doing it myself. I am not a windsurf photographer. I love the sport as I’m a long time windsurfer and I love to shoot it, but the main areas where I work are other sports like WRC rallying. Nikon offered me the chance to test the lens and somehow it felt that windsurfing might be a good sport to demonstrate its characteristics. At the same time, Jules and I had been looking for a long time the opportunity to collaborate somehow. We only had a small window of two or three days to do that and the only place with a good enough forecast in Europe was my home spot, Ristna. It was great to have Jules over, sailing with all the local crew. Ristna is our best spot but mostly windsurfing in Estonia is slalom sailing and near the cities; hopefully these photos show just how good our wavesailing can be though!
