Jericoacoara

Some of the world’s best sailors enjoying the very best conditions that Jericocoara has to offer

Last winter Max Matissek (Fanatic / North) headed to Jericoacoara, Brazil, together with many of the other world’s best freestylers to train for the year ahead - such is the consistency of the amazing conditions that this freestyle mecca has to offer.

However, unfortunately for Matissek things didn’t quite go to plan as he suffered a broken foot on the first day. Not all was lost though as whilst waiting to recover he took the opportunity to record some of the radical action, which he has just edited into a slick new movie.

Max Matissek on his latest movie and a bit about his trip:

“This is the video of my trip to Brazil/Jeri last winter. Unfortunately it didn't turn out as planned, as I broke my foot on the very first day. Instead of going home, with the tiny hope of recovering super quick, I decided to stay there to film some of my friends windsurfing and to create this little video.”

“Luckily my good friend Harry made me thinking positive again with his "JAKLAR" attitude of living. "Jaklar" means something like pure POSITIVEness, being open minded and happy. (Of course the easiest way to get in the mood and to express that you are "jaklar" is to shout it out loud haha grin emotico…)”


“I really would like to THANK all the riders who performed in front of the camera for that video: Davy Scheffers (Tabou / GA Sails), Antony Ruenes (Tabou / GA Sails), Phil Soltysiak (Starboard / Sailworks), Arrianne Aukes (RRD / Simmer / Maui Ultra Fins), Oda Johanne (Starboard / Severne / Maui Ultra Fins), Mattia Fabrizi (Fanatic / North), Dario Droiani, Marcilio Browne (Goya Windsurfing / MFC) and Harry Goeft the master of Jaklar and Duckjibes. THANKS Ian Mouro Lemos for lending me one of your crutches - hope you have recovered fine in the meantime!”


“SPECIAL THANKS to travelworld4you.com who always help me with booking my flights and supported that videoproduction - THX Gerhard Gruber!”


“THX also to ClubVentos Brasil and my personal sponsors Fanatic International, North Sails Windsurfing International, Tonis Martinskeller, Surfshop Upsidedown, Sportpool Burgenland and CHIEMSEE.”
