Le Poy

Jules Denel (JP / NeilPryde) teamed up with KSBcollective recently to produce a brand new movie, which offers a very different approach - away from the norm - to windsurfing videos. 

Denel endured a somewhat turbulent year on tour with injuries hampering him for much of the year, which resulted in just one top ten finish and him slipping to 18th overall in the world, compared to 7th in 2013.

This is what the producer of ‘Le Poy’ has to say:

“Nord-Pas-de-Calais, a rough French territory, where Napolean built a harbour at the beginning of the 19th century, submarines anchored in the bay during World War II in the 20th century and Jules Denel rides waves in the 21st century.”

“The title “Le Poy”. There are many different interpretations of “poy”. Adrenalin driven and obsessed by the power of three fins (even the Quad graphic on the board can’t hinder him), three meter high waves and three ladies in the dark underground in the middle of the night. Powered by “le poy”, by his lightsticks and a dark sports car, a beautiful beast. Additional energy comes from a sausage at the “Friterie”, where French men get their calories before their nocturnal prowls. Or did Jules need “the poy” (an alcoholic shot) at the “Friterie” to approach the three ladies in the discotheque a few minutes later? And in the 15th century a poy was a pole, which was used to propel a boat. The boom and fins can be compared as similar tool to propel the windsurfing board, the modern boat. Lots of unanswered questions… Anyway, the song, has the perfect title: the Devil’s Punch Bowl. Probably a hard drink, which stopped the energy of Jules. It was time to relax on the couch. At least he was not alone. The brave man found his arm candies, although they all look a bit unhappy in the end. Maybe they got too much from the Devil’s Punch Bowl?”
