Injury Update

Adrian Beholz - “Anticipation is the biggest joy”

Unfortunately Adrian Beholz (Patrik / Sailloft Hamburg / Maui Ultra Fins) recently suffered an injury whilst preparing for the upcoming season in Cape Town, so we caught up with the 25 year old for an update on the situation. Everyone at the PWA would like to wish Adrian a speedy and successful recovery and we look forward to seeing him on the water again once back to full fitness.  

Adrian Beholz: “After awesome weeks in Brazil, Namibia and Botswana I arrived in Cape Town. It was the first day after a stressful travel and the swell was still decent. I decided to go for a small first wave session in Big Bay when I got washed and stuck with the front foot in the strap.

My food got twisted all the way round. I was still kind of lucky with my knee as it just got bruises in the joint and only the interior ligament got a bit ripped. It was my ankle which got punished with a full thickness tear of the anterior syndesmose and tears in pretty much all other ligaments of the ankle. But I underwent surgery in Munich, which was a success and now I´m almost halfway back to recovery.

I decided not to compete in Podersdorf as I will not be fully fit by that time. This makes me really sad as rumours say it will be the last event in the good old village before it moves north of the lake for the next years, so maybe I`ll just enjoy some nights of partying there;).

After my sponsor change to Patrik I felt ready to go better than ever before. But it is now during the time of recovery I understand a new inner power rising. You know there is this german sentence saying: Anticipation is the biggest joy. Hahaha imagine me walking around on crutches with my gypsum leg, thinking about getting back on the board and being full of joy;)

In the Meantime I´m also planning for the windsurfing movie "ALL IN" which I will produce within the next few years. Hope all you guys are enjoying great sessions! See you soon on the water:).

Adi”
