Downwinders

For a long time I  wondered: whats the point with these downwinders everyone is talking about?

Battling out there in high winds with a huge board doesn't really make that much sense

Here are 2 videos that ,hopefully, show why it is afun and pretty addictive thing to do

First of a superb video  from Hawaii, showing great conditions and great boards

Second a small go-pro version from the 2. january, 15-20 knots winds from a southerly direction left me a litlle clueless of what to do. But fortuneately we decided to try a downwninder at a local beach.

12 hours of winterfun with an average heartrate of 164 ;-)
