RAW POWER ON THE BLACK SEA

When the Black Sea turns wild, only the bold hit the water. In this crazy session from September 2014, Igor Yudakov throws down in Anapa, Russia, charging through brutal onshore conditions. This isn’t your picture-perfect tropical break. It’s raw, cold, and unforgiving. But for those who live for true power sailing, it’s heaven. Watch as Igor holds his line, hits monster lips and makes the most out of one of the heaviest days the Black Sea has to offer.
