Markus Rydberg captures some epic action in Pozo while recovering from injury

 

Markus Rydberg (Simmer / Simmer) has been out in Pozo, Gran Canaria, since the start of the summer preparing for the first wave event of the year. Unfortunately the young Swede sustained an shoulder injury, which he has since recovered from and will compete in the Trials, but he utilised his time off the water by capturing some epic action featuring some of the top pros.

With just under a week to go before the start of the 2016 Gran Canaria Wind & Waves Festival — which runs between the 3rd-9th July — anticipation is starting to build ahead of the event and this new clip, featuring the likes of multiple world champion Daida Moreno (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins), Alessio Stillrich (Fanatic / North), Moritz Mauch (Severne / Severne / MFC), Aleix Sanllehy (Tabou / GA Sails), Dario Ojeda (99NoveNove / Maui Ultra Fins), Josep Pons (Simmer) and Robby Swift (JP / NeilPryde / Mystic) and Pablo Ramirez (Patrik / Sailloft Hamburg), should whet your appetite.

Markus Rydberg about his latest edit: “Unfortunately as I injured myself when we filmed a lot of this one. It's not a lot of action of me so will work with on second part during the summer. But if you like windsurfing this is a must see, Solid action from my friends is going down!”
