Jordy Vonk chooses Black

Bavarian Speed Kini 2013
Tobi Ullrich wins the Speed Kini 2013 organized by the windsurfing shop Hang Five. Marcus Purwitzer came directly in second place, both using the AC-1 2K13. Congratulations boys!
Diony Guadagnino crashes hard!
This is how my day started few days ago practicing and testing my slalom gear with Xavier, during my second session in the afternoon with Miguelito I had the slalom sailing worst wipe out of my life dislocating my shoulder, messed up some ligaments and muscles, I had to sail back in to the beach for about 10 minutes, worst pain ever!
BLK SECRET: AC-1 zero14
Many still don’t know where the name AC-1 derives from. However it’s nothing too elaborate but simply the initials and sail number of Andrea Cucchi put together. Point-7 founder, head of development, team manager and the man who last year decided to create a group of young professionals and have them to train together under the name BLACK TEAM.
Andrea in 2013 created the team to prove that a team does have a place in windsurfing and can help riders to train more effectively and achieve better results than when training individually as has been in the norm for the last many years in our sport.
North sea crossing
How many of us dream to experience new adventures, which takes us past our own personal limitations to feel truly alive and grow as a person who has seen past the standard day and really lived in the moment? We all do, but Ron is one of those persons who doesn’t dream his dreams but lives them. One of these dreams had for a long time been to break the windsurf record for crossing the North Sea, departing from the UK, finishing on the North West Coast in The Netherlands. A journey which in a straight line is 105 nautical miles and which to break the record would need to be done in less than 7 hours and 56 minutes. A journey of heavy swells, changing conditions and cold as the right period which offers the best possible wind conditions would be in the autumn months.
Bruno Martini wins
Bruno Martini from the Black Team, at the age of 20, wins the last Italian Championship Tour event! In third and fifth position other two Black Team riders, Andrea Rosati and Malte Reuscher. The event took place in the ligurian coast at Albisola. 15 to 20 knots offshore winds gave the chance to run 3 full eliminations. Do you know Bruno? Soon we will introduce you to this young talent that the Point-7 Black Team has discovered this last 2 years!
